On the eve of the election the glad-
atorial combat between Senator T
P Gore and Congressman Scott Fer-
ris both of Lawton for Gore’s seat
in the Senate overshadows all else in
County politics The speaking ached-
ules made out by the supporters of
each of these candidates promise to
keep the people busy listening till the
dawn of election morning
An average of at least one speech
per day for every school district in
the county is what the program in-
dicates Both sides claim Grady
county ranging from two-thirds to
ninety per cent The campaign in
this county is being wsthced more
closely than anywhere else in the
state for the reason that partisian
feeling here is considered as a fair
guage as to how the State will go

It is conceded that Gore must draw
his chief strength from the rural dis-

uncertainty of the exsoldier vote and
the woman vote Each candidate is
afraid to formulate any definite plat-
form and stand upon it for fear he
will have guessed wrong
J A Tillman has come nearer to
standing for something definite pos-
sibly than any other He has an-
nounced himself as being for the
farmer the schools the women and
children
Louthan has devoted most of his
campaign effort to the support of Fer-

has lived in the county but a short
time has made a very thorough
campuign J W Murrell has also
been beating the bushes He has an
extensive acquaintaned over the
county having lived here for a gj-cat

It is conceded that Gibbs for sheriff
will poll a strong vote in the south
end of the county His opponent

supporters also claim to have the Matt Sankey who is a candidate for
