Awful, Father of Boom"
Says While on Visit
Here This Week.

Guy p. Cobb, prominent republican
of Ardmore and generally conceded as
the father Of the Fields boon in this
state, visited with his family and friends
for short time this week, returning
to the republican headquarters at Ok.

While here he conferred with many
of the local leaders regarding the Fields
candidacy generally and helped lay
plans for the Fields meeting in Ardmore
Friday night.
! Mr.. Cobb believes that John Fields
will defeat Jack Walton for the office
OF governor. Every man connected
with the Fields headquarters believes
that without doubt declared Mr..
Cobb. John Fields appeal to the conser.
'vative democratic voters Of the state is
not going without its huge response.
Fields has pledged that he will give one
third of the appointive offices to dem.

elected it must be with one third of

"Huge crowds have turned out to
greet him and there are always demo-
Gratis among the hosts" he said

itinued, Walton will lose his home

largely to the fact that 5000 demo-

banded themselves together in a lea
