The political situation is m. ,* rapidly shaping
itself iu the line up for (iovernor very much like the
Oore-Haycs contest for the I'nitcd States Senate.
There was iu that eont<**t a small sprinkling of vot-
er!* about over the state who did not want Senator!
<lore reelected to the Senate. The greater part of
this opposition, however, was found in Lee llm-kins A few new laws were enacted and a few repeal

lahoiua City, a place largely inhabited by the wise To my mind a considerable amount of the work
men of the universe whose huainesM it is to oppoac! should iu>t have been done, ami a number of
men for office who they can 't control.
During the early preamble of the (lore Hayes
contest you could go to Oklahoma City to spend a
day on business and as soon as you entered the door
of the Lee-IIuckins hotel some wise guy would nab
you ant] begin to fill you full of what they were go-
ing to do to Senator (lore. They would tell you if
they could only get Judge Ilayes to make the race
it would all be off with the blind Senator. Time,
however, told what they did.
The Governor's race is now beginning to be di»
cussed quite a good deal. The rank and file of the
democracy seem to be practically solid for J. M. A.
Robert son tor Governor next time. They recognise
his capacity and feel like his service to the party
makes him the logical candidate itf the coming eon
test.
But this chair warmer bunch who inhabit- the
Lee-IIuckins between meals are working over-time
trying to get some good man to sacrifice himself on
the political altar. They ar“ now saying if-if-if we
can get--we can skin Robertson. That was tin-
same story many of us heard in the Gore Hayes con-
test.
The opposition to Robertson is not the same
line-up who opposed Gore. The opposition to Rob-
ertson will fail in the same way,. notwithstanding
they are claiming to have the Dig Chief in official
■measures that should have passed, failed to get bv.
I feel that the common people failed to get the rec-
loffiiifion they were entitled to.
I went into the session untied, ami under no ob
ligation to any man or set of men, and with oulv
one object in view, namely
