Republicans Have Their Troubles.
Astronomical explorers affirm
this is a stormy season for all kinds
OF politics. and republicans Of Okla
homa have their anXicties and their
disaffections. Their troubles. how
ever, very largely are because OF
tho fact that new president is COM

An unexpected candidate for an
