just the same, It is Clearly evident
that conscientious democrats are
thoroughly dlsgustcd with the dis
graceful doinEs of those in control
Of state affairs and are positively de
tcrmined to cast their votes for John
Fields, confident he is the man thHt
can bring order out ~ chaos and
puli tho reputation of oklahoma
from the political mlro into when It
has been dragged by schemlng and
inscriptions politicians.
John X. Hndlcy predicted ycster-
day Fields will carry tho state ny
"a healthy majority" lIadlcy nj
ways conservative. does not believe
ho will be swept into office by n
landslide. He anticipates u raco be-
tween Fields and the Democratic
nominee, with Fields running ahead
by plenty of votes to assure his elec-
tion.
Change IL Demanded.
"There are two principal reasons
for my belief" Hhdley explained.
"Ono is that the good people OF
Oklahoma are tired OF the type OF
government we have under demo-
riiia ThgV huVn nhapINe1
enough to know that pronounced
change IL needed, and realize that
such n change In possible only Dy
electing "a man whose life stamps
him Ms an honest and conscientious
citizen whose purposes are not pure
ly political. ~
cal machine In rapidly passing into
history. and no moro exercises thu
influence once attributed to II, Peo-
pie generally are thinking for them
selves as they never did before con
corning political matters, They are
not susceptible to the voice of the
machine which seeks to dictate their
vote.
Regardless of personal views on
tho two men, this fact was illustrat-
ed in the contest between New and
Beverldge In Indiana. The machine
failed to put New over simply be
cause voters are opposed 10 pollu
cal bosses and machines.
For my part am confident Johr
Fields will be Oklahoma's next gov
ernor."
Niles Equally Certain.
Alva j. Niles, president of the Sc
curity National bank. is equall
sure OF Fields nomination and clec
ton. II Is not an improbabilit
republican gubcrnatorial race ha
Fields declined 10 run. And until tn
draft" meeting at Oklahoma CIT
n appeared Fields would adamantl
refuse 10 get into the harness. IL
pretty we'll understood that Field
attempted several times to persuad
Niles TO announce. However, 1t
understood also that Niles was !
turn urging Fields to throw his ha
into the ring.
Niles received n request last wee
from Harlow's Weekly asking for
statement concerning Fields cand
Lncv, His reply read M follows:
THE unpre cedentcd demonstrH
tion for John Fields last Morda
conclusively proves him to be II
ideal man for governor of Okl'
homa. lIis nomination viii he 70
lowed by his election by n maiorlt
II is no disparagement TO other cal
dldates to say that Fields is II
strongest personality In tho polite
annals OF this state. Ills election W
mean n republican administratic
and a new business era for Okl
homa."
This statement Is conclusive eN
dence OF Niles sincerity In backii
Fields. and OF his belief that Fiel
Mill hA nllahnnta'a nOEt
Can Beat Any Democrat.
'Fields can and will beat n,
democrat he runs against" Franz
Greer, pioneer republican OF Ok
homa, believes. "Oklahoma is al
of politicians who misuse the pub
trust and public funds In th'
hands; the state wants a man "
Is clean and upright In his dcalin
and who is n business man inste
of politician. John Fields Is su
man. His election IL sure"
Fields will win, not only hecar
he Is recognized and known over I
state as business man OF unqu'
TONED reputation. but also becal
Of the pronounced tactional diff
ences among democrats, In the op
ion OF Ed - Naught OF Oklahoi
