Tho Oklahoma delegation succeeded

I do not arrognto to myself nlonc
all responsibility for tho passage ot
these measures but simply claim
In an humble manner to hnvo duvot-
cd my ontlro tlmo nnd nttentlon to

to others t can safely lay claim to
ns much credit for tho major portion
of this legislation specifically th
