OKLAHOMA CITY Nov. :;. Special) Chairman Arthur II.
Geissler of the Republican . i ; 1 1 committee al 11:30 o'clock
tonight claims John Welds Republican is elected by 30000 votes
over R. L. Williams Democrat. "The returns we have received
ail night from various places over tlte state indicate that majority
lor Mr. Fields" said Mr. Geiasler.
From a majority of counties heard from none complete li
publican trains are shown according to Chairman Oeissler who
kepi close tab on all returns coming into Republican headquarters.
Gains made in these counties are what will make up the total ma
joriiy being claimed for Fields.
( 'I airman Samuels of the Democratic campaign) committee at
llif same time tonight while reducing his claims made tins morn-
ing of 33000 for Williams says thai Williams will I lected by
15000 majority. This difference in his claims was prompted hv
the returns thai have been received. Chairman Samuels sail to-
night that the state ticket would be electe 1 by probably 3000 more
than Williams and that Senator Core would be returned by prob-
ably 5.000 more than the state ticket.
Up to near midnight returns had I a received at Democratic
headquarters only from natural Williams territory. In many places !
the usual Democratic vote was greatly reduced while the Socialist
vote was increased which is significant in itself. No claims are be-
ing made by the Progressives and the vote indicated in returns is I
exceedingly light.
