Three More File For U. S. Senate

Three more filed for the U. S. Senate today, including perennial candidate Jim Rogers, who wore a faded red campaign sweatshirt. The Midwest City Democrat said he had scotch-taped an "8" to the shirt to show he is a candidate in this year's race.

Also filing against Republican incumbent Jim Inhofe was Stephen P. Wallace of Tulsa, who is running as an Independent.

Republican Ted Ryals of Moore also filed: "I am a moderate Republican and we don't have one," said Ryals, who has worked as a trial lawyer, tax litigator and musician.

Earlier, three others filed against Inhofe: Democrat Andrew Rice of Oklahoma City and Republicans Dennis Lopez of Thackerville and Evelyn Rogers of Tulsa.
