WHY DEMOCRATS
SHOULD SUPPORT
E. LEE ADAMS
Two years ago E. Lee Adams,
newspaper man and farmer, of
Buffalo. Oklahoma, made the
race for representative in the
legislature from Beaver and Har-
per counties. He announced that
he would run upon his merits and
make a clean 'campaign against
all opponents—and he did. Re-
gardless of the fact that the dis-
trict was normally 300 Republi-
can, Mr. Adams was elected by j
almost 500 majority. 4oo Repub-
licans must have voted for him
because they believed that he
was qualified for the place and
would make good. He has not
disappointed themand the y will
vote for him again if he is nom-
inated.
Mr. Adams should not have
had any opposition in the pri-
mary this year as it is a Demo-
cratic principal to reward those
with a second term who have
made good and who stand for
the things that will benefit the
greatest number of people. He is
now running upon the record
made in the last legislature.
Every Democrat should vote for
him on August 6 and make his
nomination unanimous. He is
entitled to the nomination.
One good term deserves another
and his experience and acquaint-
ance better qualifies him to rep-
resent this district in the next
legislature. It is a waste to train |
new men at this critical time.!
Mr. Adams is a patriot—every j
inch of him—he is familiar with .
the duties and work of a legisla-1
tor, and has a wide acquaintance
over the state that will be of!
much service to him in the next
session.
Nominate him on Aug. 6 and
he will be elected.
