Edmondson has the experience to carry forth
in the Senate a record of political service that
has been practically a lifetime for his state and

beneficial to Oklahomans in the final analysis.

in the U.S. House of Representatives, Ed |
mondson has demonstrated that he knows how to J
handle himself in every aspect of national
government. It is best to have a man of ex-
perience in a spot like this, than a freshman, in
congressional service
For the people of the Fourth District, it is only
natural to have a man in the Senate who can
work closely with our U.S. Representative Tom
Steed. After years of such service in the House of
Representatives, and close work with Steed, it is
an advantage to now be afforded a similar
situation for Steed in the Senate.
