the leaders that Oklahoma has"
Superintendent of county schools
George w. Coffman introduced Gov
ernor Robertson TO the young peo-
pie Friday morning, soon after his
arrival and he made most inspiring
talk, alluding to himself as only the
hired servant Of the people of this
great state, stating that they are all
working along the same lines, with
the same purpose in view, that of
building Oklahoma. Much of the his
tory Of the state was given in the
Governors talk.
Mr.. Leecraft was then presented and
made a wonderful impression on the
crowd of young Americans, especial
" when he closed his talk with an
enthusiastic yell for the state OF Ok
lahoma which he said was the official
yell given at the recent democratic
convention held in San Francisco. The
yell follows:
"Oklahoma's got the gas, Okla
homas got the oil, Oklahoma's got
the coal, Oklahoma's got the soil;
That's the way to tell it, this is
the way to spell it, O-kla-h-o-m-a'
and this is the way TO yell it:
OKLAHOMAl!
