by the information.
This is just or. item among
scores of Others that might be
mentioned. demonstrating Mr..
Fields method of doing things,
lie does not turn his work over
to incompetent surrogatcs, but
gives il his undivided and per-
sonal attention.
Everyone knows that for years
mot just since candidate for
Governor-Mr Fields has spent
much of his time making trips
through the country, visiting the
farmers in person and getting
their point of view about things
as much as possible. The farm
ers, generally, recognize in him
their best friend-one who has
championed their interests and
done all he could to straighten
up the deplorable conditions that
exist among them through no
fault of their own.
In regard to education. Mr..
Fields believes that the children
of the rural districts should lave
the same opportunities and equal
advantages as the children in the
towns and cities; that the STATE !
money. or a fair proportion Of it,
hould be expended for better con
ditions in country schools rather
than for expensive fudge
plates" in expensive dormitories,
etc. He believes that the rural
schools need the rudimenfs of
education more than the I. OF
Oklahoma needs new stadium.
and so on indefinitely.
Mr.. Fields attitude ON these
two paramount issues alone,
namely. Agriculture and Educa
ton. should appeal nightly to
every man and woman who has
the welfare of the State and the
people at heart, and b. sufficient
to elect him on the It,s If No
vember.
Now, we would like TO ask X
"aristocrats edit Farm Jonrn-
alsf Do they concern themselves
about the affairs OF the Valiant |
Sons Of the Soils DO they spend |
their time and effort in attempt
ing to improve the living condi-
tions, the financial states. the |
farming methods. the educational
facilities, etc. among the farm
ersg
If so. then Mr.. Fields is running |
true TO form" If not, then he |
is an exception that disproves the
general rule. and all manner OF
tradition as chronicled in cen
,uries of world history. How |
MANY naughty aristocrats in
the annals Of history ever both
cred themselves about any bucollc
,lass of people'
Everyone who has kept in |
touch with Mr.. Fields editorials
and the work he has done; who
has followed his career even for
the past few years knows that
he is an exception. And, there
has never been a time in the !,
history of this State when the
people generally were as ready Il
md MS anxious to have an EX Il
1EPTION grace the gubernatorial
;anctum as at the present hour.
And unless the people elect and
,lace such there. the name of the
,ntire State will be Dennis.
A tree is known By its fruits

If elected Governor. it is only
logical to premise that Mr.. Fields
will continue his condign, honest
md efficient service from force
