WILSON WILL, WIN

The News predicts that on next
Tuesday, August |, the Democrats
of Oklahoma will nominate X. II. Will
son as their candidate for Governor
of Oklahoma, to represent the party
in the general election to come in
Our reasons for this belief are
November.
numerous, hut we can summarize the
whole situation in a few words.
First, Wilson is the one man of
those asking the nomination who is
conceded as strong enough to defeat
the finely organized Republican ma
chine at the general elections. The
Republicans would trade their birth
right" for the privilege of electing
the Governor, and, to be sure, will
center their whole forces upon that
race. Wilson's personal popularity,
his strong vigorous personality his
twelve years of clean and successful
public service make him the dominant
candidate for the nomination and the
party's strong man, with whom to
win in the fall.
The campaign now ending has been
a peculiar one, with situations hard
to place, and candidates strength diff
ficult to find. There has been mud
singing" from different angles but
from Mr.. Wilson has come none of it.
His campaign speeches have been de-
voted to the big public issues of the
day, and to his proposals for the cor
rection of some of the failings of our
State government as 1t now is. Stu
dents of government and of economics
have found these proposals broad,
Astounding in helpful possibilities for
whole and it's citizenship as individ-
uals.
The Democrats of Oklahoma, we
believe, appreciate the clean cut and
gentlemanly campaign made by Mr..
Wilson, and by their votes on Aug
ust first, will so record themselves.
Oklahoma Democracy has ceased to
vote for men who besmirch the charac-
ters of others. They prefer to vote
for real men who stand for real prin-
ciples, and who have back of them
records of years of continuous prac-
tice of what they now consistently
preach.
Every one of Oklahoma's seventy
seven counties has an organization Of
men working for Wilson's nomination,
as the biggest hope Of Democracy in
the general election. Reports from
these, summarized. indicate definitely
that Wilson is easily the leading can
didate and that he will sweep the
the State next Tuesday.
With Wilson as Governor Of Okla
homa we will have man big in ply
sique, big in rugged honesty. big in
capacity for unccasing work, big in
sympathy for his fellow man, and
big in his vision of thing that make
for the development of his and our
State, in,ii;..trial, agricullurally, and
educatonaily,

dcnser across the secondary Of your
osciilating circuit. In some cases,
however. 70 would refer 90 the small
WERNER variometcr used in variometer

there IN order 20 get very minute tun-
ing for continuous wave reception.
Tho latter system Of wireless trans
mission is very sharp and only By the
most careful adjustment can u be
properly recorded on your receiving
apparatus. As wireless telephony,
which Of course includes radio broad
casting. is conducted by means Of con-
tinuous waves. the Ncrnier adjustment
is "a very important thing in your set.
The best point 20 have this WERNER
adjustment is IN the midway position,

and then dcscends down the scale. ?.
There is also a Ncrnicr adjustment on
