LATEU
As we go to press it looks more
than ever like Haskell is the
nominee for governor. Today's
Oklahoman conceeds the nomi-
nation to the Muskogee man,
wMch means that the Cruce
crowd is ou the run. There are
still 18 counties to hear from,
but the unofficial x-eturns from
them are sufficient to give Has-
kell the nomination. Cruce still
claims that it will take an official
count to show who is nominated,
which sounds very much as the
last words of a defeated candi-i
date. Haskell claims to haue re-
turns from 73 counties aud esti-
mates his plurality at 6000. The
indications at present are that
Gore has the best of Hoffman in
the senatorial race.
Frantz Is Weakening
Governor Frantz continues to
weaken in regard to calling the
(lection. At tirst he would
not call the election unless
all the original copies of the con-
stitution wore first filed with the
territorial secretary, but after
wards concluded that if the
court could recognize the consti-
tution and the election ordinance
while they were as yet not filed,
he could. Now the newspapers
are publisning a,n interview in
which he conceeds that it is not
necessary that he call the elect
ion in order to give the people a
chance to vote on the coustitu
tion. His interview as printed
in the papers is as follaws:
"I believe that under the enab
ling act the people of Oklahoma
have a right to vole on the con-
stitution. If lam unable, or fail,
as governor to issue an election
call, I believe the election can
still be held to ratify tho consti-
tution ou August 6th."
