SAYS SUPPORT
STATE TICKET
Gives Praise to Gore and Points
to Ability, Integrity and the
Public Service Of Judge
Williams

Setting forth the accomplishments
o. the national administration since
the Democrats assumed control of af-
fairs, showing how the party in power
had been steadfastly redeeming it's
platform pledges, and appealing to the
voters of Grady county TO roll up a
big majority for the entire Democratic
ticket, Congressman Scott Ferris on
Saturday evening held the closest at
tention of an audience that comfort
bly, filled the court house, speaking
for an hour and half and receiving
frequent applause
With little attempt at oratory, in a
simple, clear and concise manner, Mr.
Ferris reviewed the legislation enact
ed by the congress which adjourned
Saturday and also called attention to
the work of the executive department
of the government especially the peace
policy OF the president his references
to the latter provoking a remarkable
outburst of applause
After setting forth the record which
he argued was worthy OF a vote Of ap.
proval. Mr.. Ferris closed his address
by touching on the situation in Okla
bona. showing how 1t is to the inter
ests OF the voters Of this state to give
their support to the ticket which
stands for the same things that Wood
row Wilson and the Democrats in con-
gress stand for.
First on the ballot. said the speak
er. you will find the name of Senator
Gore whose opponent on the Republi-
can ticket is Judge Burford. Senator
Gore. by his achievements in congress
has made himself national character.
He has been one OF the ahlest support
ers of the presidents policies and he
is chairman Of the great committee on
agriculture, The senate will be Demo
cratic by larger majority than ever
next time and Judge Burford, If he
were elected, would not be able to ac-
complish anything for ais state, He
would be entirely out Of harmony with
the administration. He would stand
with his party in opposition to the
progressive policies of the administra-
tion. A vote for Senator Gore is a
vote to sustain the president and to
aid him in his fight for the people.
Next on the ticket you will find
the names of the candidates for gov
ernor. Judge r. L. Williams, the DEM
ocratic candidate, has served the peo-
ple of Oklahoma well and has demon.
strated that he is q man of ability and
integrity. The people of his district,
among whom he had lived for years,
elected him as delegate TO the con
stitutional convention OF which he was
one OF the most influential members.
He was the author of some of the most
drastic provisions in our constitution
for the control of corporations. He
was afterward elected to be a mem
her OF our supreme court and until he
became a candidate for governor, no
hodv even intimated that he was moi
an able, fearless and honest judge
That he is peculiarly well qualified FOL
The office of governor must be admit
ted. His Republican opopnent, JohI
Fields. is a nice man and personally
like him but he has never given am
evidence that he possesses any of th'
requirements necessary for the offic'
ef governor. He poses as an agricul
,nral exnert. He came to this countr
from Pennsylvania and | suppose h
learned farming in Pittsburg. Whe
Eialds was a candidate for the Repui
lican nomination for governor fou
vears ago he came out third man |
the race. This time he didn't take an
chances. The whole deal was arranl
ed bv Jake Hamon, Henry Asp and
few others. They held q conventfo
and selected Fields as their candidai
ana Fields today Is the representatil
Of the old standpat gang in Oklahom
What can we expect Of such man
rovernor? hope 10 see Grady counl
get out full vote and come throul
