It’s time for every citizen to
study and understand the ques-
tions about which the candidates
will orate tots year

Farmers g-ierally are begin-
ning to expect r punt in 1934

see the real revival of better
times

of business: In

to $421486 220
Most business men want the
prices of what they sell to allow
them a "reasonable” profit ora
the prices of eveiytlhr 'hc
buy fixed to accomplish the a me
end
When yea can truthiuiy be-
lieve that the awragc of
ficial is working for the r
welfare oi those who phas'd him
in office then you may assume
that democracy is beginning te
function in the United States

of into

ing little for purposes of trade
This fall when the crops come
in there ought to be some cah
available on our farms for buy-
ing what is reeded This will
mean business for merchant and
others It will be the itart of the
process that will if unchecked
lead the nation back to better
days for all of its pfopk
“FOR MEN ONLY”
ixTiiOns
1
The other day eight
were lnjurtd in a riot beeau
crowd attracted to a theatre by
a sign reading "For Mon Only"
diicovercd that tlve film was edu-
cational rather than taUcious 01
sensational
"Whet fuels til3 norUL be”
is -til true Only saps and suck-
er fall for such sigru or other
ad’ rrUsitm that implies that
“sect et stuff" U to be revealed
ilowevr the hokum Is used Oj
book-si1frs and occasionally by
public speakt-rs
Sensational tactics may lure
the crowd for an occasion but
little permanent good results
Men and women Interested in
the progress of the race and
uderstanding how slowly it comes
about arc satisfied to adopt ether
methods
RECOVERY UNDERWAY
Unmistakable signs of national
recovery are seen everywhere and
in almost every line of activity
but the nation has not yet climb-
ed up the hill The evidence
is conclusive that we arc moving
upward but the road ahead is
apt to be longer than some
people think
Since March 1933 many yrcat
improvements have taken place
but none more Important than
the altered attitude of people who
once again look to the future
hopefully Measures taken by the
government hare helped bridge
the emergency but what will hap-
pen when private business is re-
quired to assume the load?
A
Regarding Congres-
sional Salary Cuts
Opponents of every one of the
300 odd members of congress whe
voted to pass the independent
offices bill over the president’s
veto are attempting to create
prejudice against the Incumbent
congressmen because of that vote
The fact that the measure was
primarily designed to give aid
to sick and insane veterans of
the war and to partially restore
the pay of thousands of low paid
government employees is often
overlooked by these congressional
crilics in tln-ir ureent desire to
prejudice the voters against the
members of congress they are
trying to unseat
Contrary to the general Impres-
sion which thes ambitious can-
didates desire to create the Presi-
dent was not opposed to salary
restoration He had asked f
an immediate five per fnt in
crei-e as living costs advanced
The President’s primary objection
to the bill was based on certain
phases of the veterans’ provision
It will be recalled that the eco-
nomy act of 1933 provided for a
15 per cent cut in salaries of ad
federal work is the cut to ex-
pire automatically on July 1 1934
Had the Piesident’s suggestion
been followed the full 15 per cent
would have b en restored at that
time Under the legistatl:n act-
ually passed by congress orlv
ten jvr cent of the pay cut will
h'v been r -teued on To y 1
continuing in cfTec' for ar leas
another vear one-third of the
engird lilteen per ciiit rdue
ticn The praetecil effect of h?

gressmen and sonaiors be lev tna‘

actually cuts $300 a year oir th:

In 1926 We t-ok a Federal Ivan
on tin plac for $3100 00 Paid
off the $200000 loan and u-ed
the list to remodel our house
From 1924 to 1927 Ruby LeU
Fay und Clay were going through
high school I paid the grocer
bills and meat of tludr cxpmse'
through school
They worked most of their way
after finishing high school They
never had to stay out of schorl
a day to work like my oldest
sister (Myrtle) and I did They
jare all married now’ and hav°
i families of their own to long
after
I never saved as much money
as I could have but who did dur-
ing those times? I think this
dcpresslon has taught u s nl
something
I have been helping father for
the last three years We have
worked hard and deprived our-
selves of many things so we
could pay the interest and taxes
on our place
Now’ I haven’t a wife or any
children to support but I think
it my duty to help my fat ho
and mother all I can They ar
still ab’e to work but won't be
for many more years Father
was seventy-nine the 11th of this
month He has broke a hundred
acres of land this winter and
spring We are trying to hand
all tills land in addition to milk-
ing eight to twelve cows an!
many other things yAi have h
do on a farm
Now folks I don’t like to men-
tion these things about my seif
for it Is against my nature Bu'
under the circumstances I fee1
that I should mention some o‘
the resource- of my life My
liabilities you already know’ and
then some For there has been
some false entrys made on thl-
side of my life However “h°
that Is without sin among you '
let him make the first entry on
the liability side of my ledger
Now’ if yon voters elect me a
your County Clerk I will do every
thing in my power to make you
an honest efficient and ccurteous
official
I know that I can for I have
had more experience and am more
familiar with the different depart-
ments of county government than
any of my opponents However
I am not saying any thing about
my opponents I am only speak-
ing about my own qualifications
I regret that I am unable to
visit each voter before the pri-
mary but such is impossible 1
want my friends to know that I
appreciate more than they wii
ever know the work they arc do-
ing for me from various places
over the ccmi'y The ones
don't cet to see I want you t
know I will appreciate your vot
and influence Most of you people
are in the custom of voting for
W L Fry when you sec thl
name bn ycur voting bullet
So I trust on July 3rd you will
vote lor me again when you sp:
my nam? on your voting ballot

trno No mud stinging has come
!rom his ramp Coming up from
one of the lowliest umipitlons
ho has progressed onward and
upward Gaibed in th raiment
of toil lie has marched into the
arena and met hLs adversaries
in fairness end frankness using
fT his cause only e'ean legiti-
mate argument
Tli? money powers are not back
ing Walton’s candidacy no brok-
en down politicians seeking ap-
pointive office are howling their
heads off for him Single hand-
ed he is driving all ether candi-
dates further and further from
th? governor’s office
No dear voters don’t be fright-
ened by the spiel of cheap oralors
that Walton’s nomination means
the election of a republican gov-
ermr in Oklahoma If the can-
didat s making this prediction
mean that they and their sup-
porters will vote for the republi-
can candidate for governor if
Walton is nominated would it
u t bo just as reasonable to say
Wilton and his supporters will
vote for th? republican candidate
if -vim: other candidate is nomi-
nated? But this will net hap-
pen no such threat has ever
come fr m Walto’s lips lie is a
democrat and will support the
demivra’lo nomine? w hover he

has risen above his opponents
