FIELDS WINNING
WEST OKLAHOMA

! CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
and northeastern counties are ex-
pected to roll up big majoritics for
| Fields.
But in this section a real battle
| for votes Ia expected. 10 Is this
section that viii decide the win
ner. So far the republican ad-
vances into the contested territory
have been highly successful Good
crowds have greeted Fields and the
other republican candidates who
are campaigning with him and en-
thusiastic re options were also on
the programs Republican leaders
and Fields workers have high
hopes of carrying Wash.ta county
despite The fact that II was strong
for Walton IN the primary. Eight
years ago Fields came within 2S
votes of carrying the county and he
is hopeful of doing better this time
Democratic Split.
There is bitter feeling between
many of the democrats who sup
ported Walton In the primary and
those who opposed the Oklahoma
workers hope 10 drive In "a wedge
which will make the gulf wider.
Kiowa county is undisputedly "A con-
tested county. Eight years ago
both Fields and Williams ran be-
side the socialist candidate but this
time Fields workers who comprise
both republicans and democrats be-
lieve that the republican nominee
Will come out ahead with 200 votes
TO spare. Some OF the leaders put
his lead higher than that. \. ID.
Bailey of Roosevelt, member OF the
state legislature figures fields to
"A hu .
any rate Fields clubs In various sec
tions of the county are working ey-
cry section and there are many
democrats already who have
signed up TO vote for Fields. The
democrats In Klowa county are still
smarting from old sores. The coun-
~ is strong for Thomas p. Gore and
rolled up a big majority for Sena-
tor Harreld against Scott Ferris.
Battle Scars StiiI Show.
The Gore-Ferris battle scars still
show and the republicans have
great hopes that the tide will swing
!. :hc!r favor. Republican leaders
also believe that they will elect
fully half OF the county ticket. This
condition, too, they admit arises
from democratic squabbles and un-
popularity OF certain democratic
candidates.
The attendance at the meetings
has been cut down some due 10 the
much needed rain which fell late
last week. Farmers are busy In the
fields getting the seed beds ready
and few of them can spare the time
to listen to politicians. But TO those
men the Fields clubs send workers.
The ORGANIZATIONS which tho repub-
llcans have perfected through this
section viii be a disagreeablo thorn
TO Walton and his henchmcn.
MY Interest In the farmer dates
back much farther than last Febru-
airy at Shawnee when my opponent

clared In his talk last night and to-
day
