WOULD PROSECUTE
UNFAITHFUL OFFICERS.

II am in favor of the remorseless
prosecution of officials who violate a
public trust, so that every official or
employee will realize that honesty.
fidelity and efficiency alone will go

an official or employe will moet poll

When the foregoing rule of con-
duct characterizes the administra-
tion of affairs in this state the Demo-
cratic party in Oklahoma will be as
strong in state matters as it is ma
tionally and Judge Williams is the
man TO bring this about. He repre-
sents the same hope to the Demo-
Gratis in state affairs that Woodrow

You doubtless realize the fact that

money you and your neighbors spend

growth is retarded by failure on the
part of the people to patronize your
local stores.
OF course you would not inten-

fact, the average person who sends
