Hon Scott Ferris has been in the
a., service of the state since 1912. In
:, other words, he has served the state
4 as long almost as 1t has been a
=, state. He is not rubber stamp or
- mechanical legislator and will prove
:, his loyalty to the people he under
takes to serve in the senate as he
has in the house. The intellect with
/ which he has been endowed has been
= used to worthy purposes. No one
!, has ever been able to bend him to
:, submission. The rule Of right has
: been his weapon and he uses it al
ways to good effect. He has been
a leader rather than follower ana
:, has proven himself tower or
. strength to his party in the legisla-
y ture. Another thing, he never talks
:. unless he has something to say. IL
i. loyalty counts, the democrats OF the
= state of Oklahoma will send Scott
;, Ferris to the senate Of the United
, States.
