life has been an open book for fifteen
years. Everybody knows Parkinson
and Parkinson knows everybody" and
this applies TO Comanche county as
well as the city OF Lawton. All the
people know him to be a man OF ster-
ling character, a Christian gentleman
who has dealt with his fellow man ac-
cording to the Golden Rule.
Friends close to Mr.. Parkinson's
business and social life perhaps are
the only ones who really know the
philanthropic tendencies OF the man.
While a man OF large business affairs,
Mr.. Parkinson has never denied coun-
sci and service to the poor Every
day someone turns into his office to
seek counsel regarding business af-

Claus. The poorer clases of this
county hold Mr.. Parkinson almost in
reverence.
This human side" Of Mr.. Parkin-
sons character has endeared him to
the community. His purse is always
open to the needy, and his example
along charitable lines has meant much
to those in dire distress.
Travelling men who make Lawton
are authority for the statement that
it looks like everybody in Comanche
county is for PARKINSON for corpora
tion commissioner. Men, women and
children are boosting for him and no
voice is heard raised against him. To
find this unanimous sentiment is
something unusual politically and is
the highest compliment which could
be paid a candidate.
Parkinson is son Of the soil, a
successful business man, citizen Of
unquestioned integrity. His candidacy
has largely lost its political aspects
and he is the business mans choice
for the six-year term, regardless Of
party.

Wilson for a second term" says M.
johnson. "Mr. Wilson has faced the
most trying times of any president
since Lincoln.
Through his leadership. the mad
equate currency measure known as
the Aldrich law, was amended by a
Democratic congress to prevent what
would have been the greatest panic
this country has ever known.
In my judgment, the federal reserve
act is one Of the greatest and most
beneficial pieces OF legislation ever
placed upon the statutes. It has serv-
ed to advance the business of this
country and has done more TO bring
prosperity to the whole people than
all other things combined"
