BACHELORS MAKE
BEST GOVERNORS
Oklahoma Executive Says Mar
ried Men Must Think First of
Their Wives and Homes

Bachelors make the best Governors,
for a married man should think first OF
all of the needs of his wife and family,
while a single man can devote all his
time to the cares of State.
This is the belief of Governor r. L.
Williams. of Oklahoma. The executive
is 46 years old and unmarried.
Bachelors have hard time in this
world" declared the Governor. But
they have more time to give the State
than married man." he went on. THE
Bible says the first duty of a married
man is to care for his wife and family.
The bachelor Governor, not having a
wife and family, can devote more time
to the cares of the State. Therefore, he
is better Governor than a married
man"
I'VE have good crops in Oklahoma" !"
said Governor Williams, switching from
matrimony, with the exception of the
cotton crop. Last year that crop was
good. but the war knocked the bottom out
OF the cotton market. This year is a
small cotton year, but the wheat and
other crops will be good.
The Indian citizens of Oklahoma are
all right. Two of our Senators are In
dians and we have two squaw men in
Congress. Squaw men, you know, are
white men who have married Indian
wives. Oklahoma was made a State No
vember 16, 1907, eight years ago."
