Il am the more ready 70 comply with
your request because Of an apparent
offort to take the credit Of the victory

belongs and bestow it elsewhere.
"The Daily Oklahoman ON Monday
referred to the election of Harreld as
"A McGraw Victory the inference be.
ing that the credit for the result belongs
to McGraw and that the candidacy Of
McGraw to succeed himself as Repub.

that since McGraw has put over a Re

as much for the party in the entire

claim set forth was % mistake and ad.

ways been a hindrancc to the Repub-

stand as presented is so manifestly un-
just to the splendid workers in the Re.

so misleading to Republicans in other
parts Of the state where the facts are
not known, that l think little in
side history should be set down at the
beginning Of this statement.
II was elected last year to the chair.

Of Oklahoma-co and also to the chair
manship of the committee Of the Fifth
congressional district.
Yet. just before the primary at
which Judge Harreld was nominated,
McGraw presented to me demand,
through Judge Harreld, that l resign

committee the reason being that / did
not favor McGraw's reelection as nat

"Harreld told me that McGraw had

the campaign and would obtain none
from the national committee. Naturally
