“I think it would be hard to

effort. And the small commun-

Chairman Bud Stewart called
Harris another “Mr. Flip-Flop”
for changing his vote on the cit-

Republican candidate for gov-

billion - dollar blitz that will
wipe out individual responsibil-
ities for local government.”
It was The Daily Oklahoman
that got the campaign into high
gear. It has denounced the cit-
ies bill in a series of front-page
editorials and has called for the
defeat of Democratic congress-
men who voted for it.

Aroused Democrats heated up
an otherwise cool general elec-

with a series of attacks against
The Daily Oklahoman, Repub-

The Republicans added fuel
to the fire by blasting Demo-

and Democrats in general.
The Democrats cut loose at
the Republicans and The Daily
