That it takes an exception to prove

It ihas been pretty generally con-

tration now at the helm of the nation-
al affairs is one of the strongest for-
ces that has ever been called into
power In this nation; yet we are
told that a "chain Is no stronger fWtfS

of state, a distinctive "weakness" in

suddenly developed.

pose to exploit our splendid educa-

Dr. G. F. Border is being urged
to cast this hat in the ring for the
next governor of Oklahoma. If the
doctor decides to give up his prac-
tice here and enter exclusively Into
the political field he will make some-
body know he is there. His friends
are legion all over the state and his
popularity is recognized everywhere.
The doctor is a west side man, an Ok-
lahoma product and a splendid sam-
ple of the excellent capabilities of
the great southwest. He could fill
every nook and corner of the govern-
or's chair and then have plenty of
surplus left to watch after the many
complications incident to the office.

days last week in Sentinel.
