Colonel Tams BiXby, wise man or

the days when II was better to De
wise and silent than to confer TOO
much knowledge to the commonahty'
has decreed he is for Scott Ferris
for senator. This Is as should have
been expected. as he was his great
primary champion People who
really know Colonel Blxby will give
him credit for being sincere, but
those who had 20 combat against
him IN the territorial days, fear he
Is doing this on the theory that this
Is n democratic state and ne thinks
Ferris will make such a bad showing
for his party. the people will turn
to some other organization for per-

The pipeline from oklahoma City
TO Muskogee which carries the state
patronage from the first 10 the last
mentioned place, had nothing to do
with the BiNby announcement, for ne
ia really above patronage. but, of
course, when one reflects there Is

D
can gainsay that Colonel BiYby has
used his utmost endeavors to make
the MuskoEee state fair a success and
that ah appropriation by the state
Legislature would not cause him to
make n speech of refusal.
In this connection, also, one must
not confuse Maj. Eugene Kerr, men
toned elsewhere in this story. with
/ having had the state fair in mind
when he kindly consented to
straighten out the democratic cam

essary. Sundays Oklahoman con-

Nor was II one OF those tcn-cents
/ per line stories either. II was real,
telling about Mr.. Bagwell's early DIFF
/ ficultics, his upward march to his
! present high estate and all that
would lead the reader to understand
that the candidate was worthy OF
/ support by the voters Of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Bagwell is really a nice gem

s2S6.7l worth Of its space 10 his
cause, especially in these trying tim es
/ when the news print supply Is lin

oklahoman is spudding in for hin,
with the Intention OF securing him a
seat in the United States senate. he
