to make pol tval capital out of the
fact that at least two spurious teach-

"It will he recalled that on July

was procured from the man w ho sold
the certificates and the resignation
ot the Secretary of the State Board

by the evidence I had procured and

and most vigorous prosecution of
any and all persons guilty of illegal
traffic in teacher's certificates. In
this matter I did e hat 1 pledged in

I exposed the graft and demanded
prosecution of the guilty parties.
"I el-tain Satellites of Judge Owen
are insinuating that I have had
some connection with the issuance
and sale of spurious teacher's certifi-
cates. I hey know these insinuations
are .i .( in every particular ami I

BILLy Barrowman
DEMOCRAT
For State Treasurer
PTTr!,nTTHOUSANDSOPFRIENDS ALL OVER OKLAHOMA. QUALI-
AND COMPETENT TO SERVE—HE IS THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
Billy Barrowman of McClain county is a
candidate for this high state office. Give
him your vote—he is deserving and will
render efficient service.
During the past three weeks, Mr. Barrow-
man has covered the greater portion of west
Oklahoma and received highly encouraging
assurances of support throughout this sec*
tion.
Mr. Barrowman is not conducting a hip-
hurrah campaign with loud and misleading
statements and claims. His friends are
working quietly but effectively and when
the votes are counted on August 1st
Barrowman should win.
Financing his own campaign—not con-
nected with big interests.
