COL. A. N. LEECRAFT
Democrat Colbert Oklahoma
For State Treasurer
Remember August 6th and the duties
the use of the ballot on that day involve.
Never before was it so very important that
pood men be put in public office. The du-
ties of public officials are more serious and
more weighty than ever -before therefore
the public officer should tfe the highest
type of citizen whose service it is possible to
secure.
Colonel Lfeecraft has made a clean
campaign for State Treasurer. He will give
the people of the state a clean administra-
tion. This will be doubly true for the reason
that he will perform the duties of the office
in a clean able and efficient manner and
meet those great duties to our government
that will come as a result of the present
world-wide crisis.
If you investigate consider merit and
conscientiously choose Colonel Leecraft
will have your vote.
