Monroe County Democrats
Stage Rally Last Evening;
Outline Campaign Program

Urging on their hearers the ne
cessity of bringing out every demo-

used this theme for their addresses
to the assemblage of democrats al
the county court house last night
j. Y. Porter, H., was the first
to address the audience and held
their attention with his explana.
ton of the needs of the party and
the necessity of democratic unity.
Enrique Esquinaldo said that he
came prepared to address bis hear
ers in Spanish, but as there were
but few of the Latin voters pres
ent he would take the opportunity
of assuring his hearers that prac-
ticaliy all Of the members of the
Spanish and Cuban citizenry would
vote the straight democratic tic
ket.
Sam Harris picked out Reggie
Pritchard as his audience and in 0
conversational way discussed the
issues of the day. He had an at
tentive listener in Mr.. Pritchard
and the entire audience gave ear
to his discourse. The need OF
democratic supremacy in the ma
ton as well as the state was stress
ed by Mr.. Harris who pleaded for
a solid democratic vote in the No
vember election.
Frank O. Roberts, scheduled for
a talk stated that he was no ora

that he had ever encountered. The
caption of the article from wide

stumped the state for six months
urging voters to name legislators
friendly to him.
There is no use wasting two
more years il the legislature is or
ganized against me- he said in an
address at Okmulgee.
His Measures Beaten
Murray started his spectacular
fight when the senate of the last
legislature defeated many of the
measures on his tax program and
amended others.
Calling a joint session, the gov
ernor angrily shouted he would
"call the roll" against those who
oppose him.
Before the first. primary cleo
ton this year he published in his
weekly campaign newspaper a list
of candidates for house and SEN
ate, designating those he thought
should be elected. Then he began
IA personal campaign which took
him into virtually every county of
the state before the second pri-
mary.
