Dear Mrs. Ames:
have just returned from our mis-
sionary council, which convened in
San Antonio. But / am speaking
just now more il, favor of cur
mutual friend and good fellow citi-
zen, Judge Thos. II. Owen, who is
now candidate for governor of our
great state, Oklahoma, the fairest
and best Of the west. | have been
resident, Christian worker, also
a charity and prison reform work
er for 65 years. | have had large
opportunity for knowing the good
citizen of former Indian Territory,
now the great state of Oklahoma.
/ have known Judge Owen for many
years as a good citizen and a very
acceptable member of the Presby-
terian church, as well as a useful
and helpful member of society.
Many times | have approached him
in the interests of child welfare and
our dependent helpless children at
the day nursery of Muskogee, and
always received a cheerful and
ready reply in "A liberal donation
to their support. In our former AS
sociated Charities, of which l was
soliciting secretary, he was ever
ready to give help in our beginning.
In the day of small things for three
years he was a member of the firm
of Marcum, Fears & Owen of Mus
kogee and had the confidence and
respect of all with whom he had
dealings. knew him when he lived
here with his first wife and chill
dren, she having died a number of
years since, good wife, mother and
Christian, gone to her reward in the
heaven Of rest. | wish to say as to
the political stories that have been
circulated in regard to Judge Owen,
they are all fabrications of corrupt
politics so far as my observation has
gone. In regard to his many good
deeds, ! must say that he and his
present wife have been most help
full in their liberal donations to the
United Charities of Muskogee, pre-
senting the organization with n
house and lot, which serves as a
long-felt need as a dormitory for
the dependent boys at the day nur-
sery at Muskogee. For this gift and
many others their names are held in
loving remembrance.

My Dear Doctor HARRISON:
| have known Judge Owen since
the day he landed in Muskogee,
about 20 years ago. | have known
him intimately for years, not only
as his physician, his neighbor, and
his personal friend, but also as a
true democrat. His ability as a
lawyer and a public man ranks him
among the best, as / know him to be
a man of very high character, a
member of the Presbyterian church
and an honest, true citizen.
have known his wife from child
hood. She is a most splendid lady,
and one who all her life has taken
an active part in community life.
She and Judge Owen gave most of
their time to war work during the
war, and she had charge of the Red
Cross chapter at the capitol,
From my intimate knowledge of
Judge Owen, his family, his home
life and his public service, am con-
yinced that he is the most fitting
candidate for governor.
Very truly yours,
f. B. FITE.
