TEA DANSANT
John Fields in his Oklahoma Far-
mer has this to say:
"I said my say last fall I have
nothing to add to the platform on
which I made my campaign for gov-
ernor to the advertisement printed
under my direction in the publica-
tions of the State or to the state-
ments which I made in the 77 coun-
ties at 200 places during the cam-
paign And I have no wish to with-
draw what I said then It was true
then is true now and always will
be true My opponent outpromised
me and made good with a vengeance
I confess however a strong desire
to put on my ‘high silk hat’ ‘hickory
shirt and ‘patched pants take my
‘poodle dog in my arms and with
my ‘gold headed cane hung nonchal-
antly over my arm’ and a blossom of
‘ping bloom cotton’ in my coat climb
on the ’wooden horse’ and lead a
parade to a ‘tea dansant ut the Skir-
vin Hotel that would cause all that
has come after the barbecue to be
entirely forgotten

state of coma One of the bullets
penetrated her right temple The
