Elsewhere in the district the results were in doubt, since Staf-
ford and Weaver seemed to be running neck and neck.
Stafford received 64 votes in the Norman wards which had
reported and 12<> in the sixteen county precincts from which
returns had been received.
William M. Franklin, also of Oklahoma City, ranked sec-
ond in Cleveland county, 158 votes having been cast for !>tn>
Norman gave him 54.

Three out of six counties frofn winch unofficial reports
were received, gave Weaver big margins. These were in Cleve-
land county, 66 votes over Franklin, Garvin county, 5) votes
over Stafford, and in Oklahoma county, a possible majority for
former postmaster. . .
McClain countv was at first reported as overwhelmingly
for Stafford, but conflicting reports which gained their way
into election circles credited Ross with a 2U0 vote lead over
Stafford.
Payne county showed Stafford ahead with 141 votes.
Ross adherents claimed that their candidate carried Logans
