THE PROBABLE RETURNS
OF THE STATE TICKET.
Returns from Tuesday's election are
still far from complete and are meager
I
from many parts of the state, but they
are sufficient to afford an almost cer-
•
tain indication of the victorious candi-
dates. S. W. McNeal of- Guthrie,
probably is the Republican nominee for
governor, although his victory will not
be so pronounced as at first it seemed.
Former Governor Ferguson is running
the local man a close race in many sec-
tions and has carried the First and
probably the Second districts. Mc-
Neal's uniform strength throughout
the state, however, gives him an ad-
vantage hard to overcome. At noon
Wednesday C. G. Jones, of Oklahoma
City, conceded his defeat and John
Fields is in the same position, although
he still assumes confidence.
The issuance of a statement by Wil-
liam H. Murray intimating that the j
slow returns from a certain county in-
dicated fraud, is taken to mean that
Murray now concedes his defeat.
Available figures show that the admin-
istration candidate, Lee Cruce of Ard-
more, has made pronounced gains since
last night. His election Is believed
certain in nearly all quarters. From
(he Murray camp early Wednesday
night came a statement that the Tish-
omingo men still claimed the election.
Leslie Ross, though showing surpris-
ing strength, is third in the race.
Frank Kirk, whose name appeared on
the state ticket, although he had with-
drawn, received several hundred scat-
tering votes. The county vote which
began to come iii by precincts Wednes-
day, was discouraging to the Murray
adherents, as it showed that Cruce cut
in on the Tishomingo man's farmer fol
lowing.
Ilig Vote lor Amandment.
The "grandfather clause" amend-
ment to the state constitution was car-
ried by perhaps 35,000 indicating that
the unique form of ballot devised for
it had proven all that its foes claimed
it to be. Many Republicans voted for
the amendment, while the Democratic
vote was almost solie for it.
The most complete returns available
Wednesday night indicate that the fol-
lowing have been nominated on the Re-
publican ticket: J. W. McNeal, gov-
ernor; Gilbert Dukes, lieutenant-gov-
ernor; T. S. Dulaney-, state auditor; J.
M. Dodson, attorney general; H. M.

• instruction; W. H. Lam, examiner and

spector; J. W. Funston, commissioner
of labor; Kate Biggers, commissioner
of charities; F. Hoffman, insurance
commissioner; Jesse L. Curd, state
printer; E. D.' Brownlee, corporation
commissioner; C. C. Chappell, clerk of
V the supreme court; E.?JW. Snoddy,
judge of the court of appeals.

one hundred employes will-be moved

reports as he found,times and men in
his recent trip over the state.
At Fairview we met with quite a
number of old time railroad friends,
Engineers C, E. Fox, J. J. Sullivan
and H. H. Rodman, Conductor J. L.
Burns and many other new friends
whose names I cannot recall now.
Fairview is a fine little city, very
substantially built, with waterworks
and electric lights. The division point
of the Orient railroad between Wichita
Kans. and Altus Okla. is located there.
Quite a number of railroad families
live there, and as they are a good, in-
dustrious, sober people the social suc-
cess of the city is assurred. We hope
to renew our acquaintance in the near
future. We had a tine meeting with
railroad workers at Shawnee, Hugo,
Haileyville, Muskogee and Sapulpa.
Times are quiet on all the roads, but
the men look to a picking up of busi-
ness in the near future.
On the Frisco work trains are fixing
up bridges and road beds.
On the M. K. & T. Railroad there
is being spent thousands of dollars in
betterments between McAlester and
the Texas line, double track, cutting
down grades and straightening curves,
some places building an entire new
right-of-way. I believe railroad men
at this season of the year although
quiet and not doing a rushing business
are better off than other labor, s s times
are quiet all over the state at this time
of year. .
