Uier WILLIAMS WILL LtAD Iu selecting John 11. Williams to head the Democratic campaign com mit tec. Oklahoma Democrats made no rror. Mr. Williams is a Democrat or the royal blue line, who believes In progress and prosperity and is an apontle of progress. The party reel lug Is good, there is evidence those who ate certain the faith is good ' all men want to get into the harness and Mr. Williams will find the war horses a.l ready to start Hie work for the further development and progress of the state: attainable only through application of thot:e known, stated and acceptable policies or a militant state Democracy. Instead or being in dan ger of defeat, the party was never stronger, nor the people more deter mined we succeed at the polls. .Mr. Williams' will never allow the spirit to grow weak, nor will" he permit slack ing of the taut Democratic tugs. In making Oklahoma Democratic we are but adding to the hope of winning in the next National campaign. Out of the states west of the Missouri nvu. is to come a Democracy that nevi . splutter not splatters over no thing immaterial. Our force sen that Re publicanism is sectional and therefore baneful.. To overcome the errors of the past 'and 'establish a government wherein all are granted the constitu tional right of citizenship and uu more is the task of militant, progressive Democracy. It must first assimilate all of the forces which strive for equality before the law. but that is being rapidly accomplished and the dawn of a better day seems at hand for the Nation largely fashioned by the militant spirit of right and pro grctti which obtains In Oklahoma today. .There Is a Sunday eonscletict as. well as a Sunday coat and those' wlitt make religion a secondary concern put the coat on and conscience can.
