tor Eugene Kerr of Muskogee, who

dissention," Mr.. Crump said. II
cannot understand why you should
even pay attention to the frantic ef-
forts of small group who, for ul-
terror motives are endeavoring to
create the impression that there is
a split in the party In the primary

him there were no GoreDemocrats
that our primary was our own fam

son-Democrats, Gore Democrats or
Ferris Democrats, but were Demo
Gratis because we believed in the
fundamental principles of the party.

our party that the Republicans had
a monopoly on them,' said Mrs. Hunt
Another indication Of the trend OF
Democratic sentiment was the an
nouncement that one of Senator
Cores managers, Hon. A. R. Garrett
Of Mangum had volunteered to fill
a Ferris speaking engagement for

forced to cancel in order to attend
the conference.
AS the result of the conference
