The Crow Eater
Thus ends the story OF The first
celebration the Republican victory in
Oklahoma held in Ardmore with the
exception that 1t is demanded Of us
TO state that the representative of
this paper who was invited to the
banquet and who had a plate of
crow set before him was John F.
Easley and the banqueters did not
forget to send many jests in his di-
rection and he was called to the
floor to tell just how it feels to be
in the minority and to tell just how
it feels to feast on crow.
The writer told them not to be too
jubilant for the day would come
when they would again eat crow
as they had in the past. That the
cyclone which swept the country
would endure for this one election
only. Thai If the Republicans had
had a leader like Jimmie Cox that
there would have been no telling how
far south they would have driven their
stakes.
And as to eating crow he refused
the dish. That he had been taught in
his party that the majority possessed
more wisdom than the minority and
he accepted the results like u good
sport and that the Democratic party
would not enter another campaign
on the presumption that victory would
come without organization and with
out work in every precinct Of the
state.
