No Governorship
? For Mine
My good old friend the Gov
ernor of Oklahoma was in to see
me at the theatre the other night. I
had just had humorous mention as
a candidate for that position, as
they wanted to revive the Populist
Party with me as the Standard ^
Bearer.
Well, the Governor shewed me
what had happened to a friend of
his who had been defeated for Gov
ernor in our state, so he discouraged
me. I won't accuse him of doing it
purposely, but he did. His friend's
campaign expenditures were as fol
lows :
"I kissed 6,000 babies; helped 42
voters thrash wheat; shook hands
with the entire State; smoked 3,000
sacks of 'Bull' Durham; cut 22
cords of wood; helped brand 8,000
calves; spayed 4.000 of them; was1*
sprinkled 8 times in Methodist
Churches; totally immersed in cold j
water in muddy creeks three times
by the Baptist; went to confession
in every Catholic Town; paid diies I
to 11 Synagogues; charter member
of the Holy-Rollers; listened to
800 get-together Kiawanis, Lions,
and Rotary speeches; bought sheet 1
and pillow slip in every Ku Klux
Klan in the State; and then I was
defeated. x
" 'Bull' Durham was my sole
satisfaction not only during, but
after election. It is the only thing
that stayed with me."

CJjjJHY is ESSO so much better than any
yything else you've ever used?
Why does ESSO do away with all motor
knocks; why does it literally unlock all the
latent power of your motor, make your car
perform in traffic, on the hills, and pver the
long country roads in a manner so superior
thaf there are no previous performance
standards by which to judge it?
The answer is not difficult to find. It is
because ESSO is not an experiment; not a
chance product. On the contrary, ESSO has
been devdojped out of the^ long refining
experience of the Standard Oil Company
(N. J[.), and has been especially designed to
give just this sort of super performance.
But the proof of what ESSO is really rests in
your hands. ' ?
"Standard" Test it today. Test it in any way you want.
