great degree.
Mr. Wilson makes no pretense that
his administration Of the affairs Of the
office is exclusively responsible for
all Of this progress; it is the product
of the combined effort of many, ana
he gives due credit to everyone who
has assisted him in this work But
II is fair to him to say that this
progress is greater than has ever be-
fore occurred in Oklahoma or any
other state during any similar period
Of time; that he has used the full
weight Of his Office In bringing II
about; that the policies that he has
put into effect have helped much and
have not hindered. and that by con
tinuation Of these policies you may
expect continued progress for the next
four years. You take no chance

Of schools and is now asking 70 be

His general experience as school
man covers a period OF eighteen
years. He has taught in the country
and city schools. has served as prin-
cipal, member of school board and
county superintendent and is familiar
through experience, with every phase
Of school activity. He has had the
experience Of four years as State su-
perintendent, which has brought him
into close contact with all our insti-
tutions Of higher learning and famil-
iarized him with their needs.
Speaking Of the coming campaign,
Mr Wilson said:

palgn, say or do one thing that

Sir Robert BAH, the famous English
astronomer, whose death occurred a
few months ago, used to tell a little
story Of an experience that he had
when he was at the Dunsink observa-
tory. A farmer came to him one day
and asked If he might look at the
moon through the telescope.
Surely you can" said Ball. Come
round tonight and / shall be very
happy to let, you see it through the
telescope"
Cant / see it now?' asked the
farmer, surprised.
Il am sorry that you cannot" said
the astronomer. you will have to

his illusion. Il can see the moon at

5. Mr. Wilson made no prediction
promises before and will make none
now, nor will he allow himself to be-
come under obligations to any individ-
ual or corporation. The opposition
which he has shown to the book
trusts in the last two years is suffi-
cient evidence to convince all who
know him that the influence Of the
book companies win not be for him
during the present campaign.
6. Mr.. Wilson has always main
tanned an open and frank attitude
towards all public questions and has
never hesitated to state positively his
position on any subject. AS a mem
ber Of the School Land Commission
he has favored selling the school
lands, the granting Of the preference
right to the lessee, and at the same
time, protecting the interest Of the
half million school children OF the
state. The records In his Office show
that although there has been con
tinual increase In the number Of
scholastic population Of the state
there has been a similar increase in
the revenues derived from the public
school fund. As a member of this
board, Mr.. Wilson has always worked
for the plan that would produce the
most revenue for the school fund.
7. He has favored complete sep
aration of the State Board of Educa.

SOME or THE THINGS sUPERiN-
TENDENT WILSON HAS STOOD
FOR DURING HIS ADMIN
ISTRATlON.

/. Immediately after going into Of
fee he established tenure system
for teachers in the state schools, pro-
viding that all teachers be nominated
by the President Of the Institution in
which they are to serve ana holding
ouch President responsible for the re-
suits, thus eliminating political infu-
ence and assuring efficiency and har-
mony. The harmony and cooperation
in the state schools today testify
to the wisdom Of this policy.
2. The improved conditions Of the
rural schools are due to the deep
interest manifested in their behalf
They show an increase in the average
daily attendance of 10 per cent, with
better and more proficient teachers,
and large increase in consolidated
schools.

ton which guarantees to every teach
