STRENGTH AND
LEGAL ABILITY
ARE NOW REQUIRED TO HANDLE
PUBLIC AFFAlRS-J. S. MULLEN
ONE OF BEST EQUIPPED MEN
IN STATE.

In presenting the name of j. S.
| Mullen for the state senate, we want
to call attention to the fact that he is
an Ardmore boy. He came here with
his father, Joseph +. mullen, when a
mere lad He entered his fathers
office and so quickly did he develop
placed at the head of the business.
He began his business career with
pluck, energy, and brains to his credit
but without money. His business has
grown from year to year His friends
now ask him to give some of his time
to the public and ask that he be
given a place in the state senate to
assist in making the laws of Okla
homa.
He had a struggle in his early years
for an education, and won a scholar
ship in Vanderbilt in a competitive
examination. He has devoted much
time to the study of law and is es-
pecially we'll versed in the laws of
Oklahoma and in the federal laws that
touch upon the lands of this state
He has taken more questions from
Oklahoma to the supreme court of
the United States than any other in
dividual or firm. He has done more
to clear titles to lands in Oklahoma
than anyone else. I-e has employed
the finest counsel and has fought
these cases through the courts.
j. S. Mullen is a tireless worker.
He handles a vast volame of business.
1t has been said of his business that
it is the largest in Ardmore and it
is the largest of its kind in all the
southwest
The point we want to make is this:
That If Mr.. Mullen can do these big
things in private business he will be
able to do big things in public bust
ness. He is mindful of the wishes of
the people. He is a friend to the
friendless and his life is an irspira-
ton to the youth of the country He
is rearing and educating a family of
boys He is a man who can easily be
approached by the humblest citizens.
And he is known, perhaps, to more
men of the state than any other bust
ness man in oklahoma His invest
ments cover a vast area of country,
and everywhere he does business he
is held in the highest regard by the
people. Through his large holdings of
agricultural lands he has been able
to be of great service to the tenant
farmers of the country. and he has
done much valuable work toward the
progress and development of the agri-
cultural resources or the country
Only a few men ,ower far above
their fellow men in intellect. Only a
few men can be an Edison or a Frank
lin. and it so happened that nature has
richly endowed J. s Mullen with a
wonderful mind. He has a broad
grasp upon public questions. He is
a close student OF public affairs, he
knows public men ald knows how
TO weigh their strength. He is in
yincible in argument and upon the |
floor Of the state senate his eloquence |
and logic would be 4 credit to the |
entire state OF Oklahoma He is too |
big a man 10 be claimed By one sec
ton OF the state, he is big enough to
belong to the entire state, and since
he has chosen 20 enter politics it is
almost certain that he viii become so |
endeared TO the people that he will /
be placed some day in the senate Of
the United States
