His Support to Democra-

Senator e. p. Hill, OF McAlester n
staunch supporter of Senator T. p.

Senator Hill declared, that the Re.
publicans are stating that certain
: state Senators including myself were
boiling the Democratic ticket and
had rendered their support to tho
Republican campaign committee.
This is not only a gross mistatement
of facts as to myself but it totally
unfair to Senator Gore and his
eighty supporters.
There never was the slightest
foundation for such a statement.
Ever since the primary | have been
active for the Democratic ticket and

the state for the success of the ticket
from President to constable and in
Pittsburg county you will find that
former supporters Of Senator Gore
are 10 the front of the Democratic
organization. There is absolutely no

here and Pittsburg county will re

the decision OF the Oklahoma Demo

1T is a deplorable fact that the

Democratic senators whom the Re
