OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma is an Indian name,
And years ago, your wilderness,
We roughly tanned,
You held the plains and you held the
herds, 4f
You held the Indians, bad and bold,
But you opened wide your door,
To the rich and to the poor.
You gave them plenty and to spare,
And ever ready just to share,
But all who entered had to dare,
To brave the plains.
Some We're green and some were bare,
But we entered everywhere,
And years gone by. you've
Never left our tables entire bare.

That being true, the only thing for Governor Denney 10
do IS TO appoint someone else TO the position. By the
token. before he makes another announcement he
should have written OF acceptance from the

Senator wolcot was unfair to Governor Denney He
