Democrats
Victorious
Tuesday's Election Was a Great Vic-
tory for the Democrats. Haskell
Is Elected by 35,000 Majority, and
the Entire Democratic Ticket by
Like Majorities. Hunter Cries
"Fraud."
The entire democratic state ticket was elected Tues-
day by a majority ranging around 35,000. Republican
papers nowconceed the election of Haskell, thought Hunt-
er still claims to be confident of the election of Frantz;
but he has set up tha cry of fraud, which, of course, is a
true indication that he has lost out. The democrats
have elected three, and possibly four, out of the five
congressmen, and about three-fourths of the state legis-
lature. This means that Gore and Owens will be the
first United States senators from Oklahoma. In the;
majority of the 75 counties the democratic county tickets
were elected.

Constitution
Adopted
The Majority Vote for the Constitution
Is in the Neighborhood of 100,000.
Prohibition has CarrieJ by Per-
haps 25,000 Majority. I£*s a White
Man's State. NoW Ready for the

Election Notes
Let the People rule.
Poe beat Lowry 1200 votes.
QWell, fellows, we'll show yt u
a good time, anyway.
Somebody was disappointed
—but somebody had to be.
We will now proceed to dem
onstrate the best constitution
ever written.
The carpetbaggers will now
have to get down to hard worU
and an honest living.
Frantz ran behind his ticket
both in Perkins and Perkins
township. So much for the
stock men.
On hundred and seventy six
votes were cast in Perkins and
two hundred and nineteen in the
township.
Wade carried his home town-
ship, Clayton, by 20 majority;
Harrington lost his, Elm Grove,
by 29 votes.
Perkins and Perkins township j
gave Haskell a majority of 32. j
How much of this majority is the |
result of ticks.
Though of intense interest,
the election in Perkins and
Perkins township went off quiet-
ly without a scrap.
Forty one negroes voted in
Perkins township, and there
were just 41 votes against tbe
coaslitaUnn— bit this is a white
man's eoostitatioa.
The probibitwa parade waa
something out of the ordinary on
election and presented an attrac-
tion which brought a groat many
in from the country to see.
The republicans made a poll
of Perkins; according to it the
republicans had 128 voters, the
democrats 40 and the socialists
12. But the election returns
proved their mistake.
On the prohibition question'
the people have spoken," and all
parties must acknowledge it is
better that it is so. This is a
popular government, and the
majority of the people should
rule. The Press took this
position over year a ago, and]
the wisdom of our contention
has been full vindicated.
Cap Ash was kicked out of the
socialist party a few days before
election, for selling out to Bob I
Lowry for $10 to turn the social-
ist vote in Payne, Pawnee and j
Osa£'e counties to the republi-
can candidates, yet he remained i
on the socialist ticket for state J
treasurer and the socialists all;
voted for him.
auctions. When tho banket ti
were brought together, they
were ho near alike that ono who
did not know would think they
were both made by the same
hands: all the difference was in
the size, otherwise each basket
was the exact model of the other.
McKeehan's basket was made'
by his blind brother; Loery'si
basket was made by his wife's i
father.
Orson Miles and Ross Carson
were over from Tryon Sunday.

Looking in Vain
Tho man who is looking for
i.ho President to turn the consti
tution dovvn when itcomcstohim
because it might not just suit his
tastes in all things, is looking in
vain. According to the terms ol
the enabling act, the President's
duties in regard to the matter
are limited. That the constitu-
tion as adopted meet the re-
quirements of law necessary to
insure its passage with the Pros
ident is known to every informed
man. And should the President
refuse to issue his proclamation,
he will step outside of the previ-
sions of the law to commit an
arbitrary and unwarranted act
His duties in regard to the con-
stitution as defined by congress
in the enabling act are as follows:
"And if the constitution and
government of said proposed
State are republican in form,
and if the provisions in this Act
have been complied with in the
formation thereof, it shall be the
duty of the President of the
United States, within twenty
days from the receipt of the
certificate of the result of said
election and the statement of
votes cast thereon and a copy of
said constitution, articles, pro-
ordinances, to
issue his proclamation announc-
ing tbe result of said election;
and thereupon the proposed
