To whom it may concern: I de-
sire to inform all our good Dem-
ocratic friends that I have known
the Hon. J B A Robertson for 7
years. He is one of the tuest
friends to the people I have known
in over ten years of my residence
in this state. I consider him one
of the clean men of my acquaint-
ance. As to his ability there can
be no question. He has been an
honest and upright judge in our
district courts before going to a
higher court for the good of the
state. 1 was a friend in the short
campaign for the’Jgubernatorial
nomination which he made two
years ago, and was one who re-
gretted the situation which arose
at the time resulting in his with
drawal from the race. To me he
is and always will be Jim Robert
son the great hearted noble man
who stands four square on all
moral issues, opposed t o the
grafting gang which has made
the blush of shame rise to the
cheeks of so many of our citizens
and right on every great issue
because he is the right kind of
man himself. We will make no
mistake in nominating him to the
! high office to which he aspires
success. They passed resolutions
galore. In these resolutions or
instructions to the voters of Ok-
lahoma they said some things a-
)out Governor Cruce which were
not complimentary. In speaking
of how well Cruce Hayed with
the trusts, combines and the
MASTER CLASS, they said of
Cruce: “The ox knowed his own-
er, and the ass, his master’s crib”

trusts and middle men got no
