SECOND DISTRICT
BADLY MIXED
Republicans Charging Each Other With Fraud li
All Counties—The Blaine County Situation
Judging from the results of the
primaries in the different counties j
of the Second district, neither
faction of the republican party
will have a walkover at the Geary
convention. Reports, so far as
ascertained, show contesting del-
egations from most ot the town-
ships throughout all counties
in the district. The Ferguson
faction is claiming everything in
Blame county, but the Dillon
faction is alleging fraud in sever*
al of the townships, and indica-
tions are that the county will
send two delegations to Geary.
Ferguson carried his home
township (Watonga) by a vote of
175 to 15.
Down at Geary things were
pretty warm. The Ferguson
people captured the organization
and electet their delegates by a
vote of 108 to 71. This is a
much larger yote than was cast
for the republican ticket in Cana-
dian township two years ago.
Tbe Dillon faction charged fraud
and held a rump convention in
which 85 votes were cast for the
Wooltnan delegates. The Dillon
people have a stack of affidavits
proving that Ferguson used
fraud.
Long township elected a solid
Woolman delegation.
InLogan township the Fergu-
son forces were badly beaten.
They balked and selected a con-
testing delegation.
A contesting delegation is cer-
tain from Cimarron township.
The republican party is dis-
rupted throughout the district and
indications are for a rousing dem-
ocratic victory on the final issue.
ELECTION NOV. 6th.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO
CONVENE NOV- 20
The districting board for Okla-
homa and the Indian Territory
have finished their work and sub-
mitted their report. Gov. Frantz j
and J udge Clayton affixed their
signatures to the election procla-
mation Tuesday, thus ending the
work of the districting boards
ot the two territories. The elec-
tion is called for Nov. 6, which
will make the convening of the
constitutional convention fall on
Nov. 20. Space will not permit
defining the boundaries of the
various districts, but as the Her.
a Id predicted, county and town-
ship lines have been disregarded
and the districts formed with the
intention of insuring republicans
a majority in the constitutional
convention.

Big Prizes for Subscribers.
The daily Oklahoman has started the
biggest prize voting contest ever con-
ducted by a newspaper in any part of
the southwest. The first prise consists
of a $3,000 house and lots and there
are 75 prizes aggregating altogether a
value of $6,560. Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are divided into diatriota and
handsome prises offered to the most
popular man and woman in eaoh
district, in addition to tbe grand prizes
which will be given to the men and
women getting the highest popular
vote from all distriets.
A great deal of interest has already
been aroused throughout the territory
and there are a good many candidates
working in this district. A certain
number of votes are given with eaoh
six months or year's subscription to
the Oklahoman and any man or woman
married or single, is free to enter the
contest or to nominate any of their
friends.
The prizes are so numerous ana so
oo'stly that it is a very tempting con-
test for prominent business people or
popular young laoiee to enter, The
seoond prize is a $750.00 aelf playing
Kimball piano; the third, a horse, bug-
gy and harness worth $400,00; the
fourth is a $350 00 diamond ring.
Other prises range in value from 800.00
down to $15.00. The winner* of these
prises ought oertaioly to feel well re-
paid for their effort* lu securing sub-
scribers for tbe biggest paper in
Oklahoma.

Ponca Indiana Invite Other Trlbea to
Celebrate With Them on Sept-
ember 15 and 16.
Bliss, Ok., Aug. 22—The Ponca
Indians have just finished one of
the most successful Sun Dances
they ever held. The dance was
held in spite of the instructions
of tbe department to the contrary
and was attended by the entire
Ponca tribe as well as hundreds
of visitors from every other Okla-
homa tribe. This was made the
occasion, by the Poncas, of in-
viting the other Indians to the
celebration which is to be held on
the 101 Ranch here, on Septem-
ber 15th and 16th. This is being
given by the Miller Brothers,
owners of the ranch, to commemo-
rate tbe thirteenth anniversary
of the opening of the Cherokee
Strip.
It is expected that there will
be a larger crowd on the ranch
this year than last, when it was
estimated that the people number-
ed from 60,000 to 65.000.
Tbe program which is now be-
ing prepared is going to contain
more big features than were at-
tempted last year and will result
in tbe greatest prairie show ever
given.
Two parties must deoide the question
of who shall control the constitutional
convention. It will be either republi-
can or demooratio. No matter what
party or creed which may be espoused
by the voter, he cannot hope to express
bis oonviotions in a manner that will be
effeotiva exoept through one or tbe
other of the dominant parties. Thia is
not said with a view to oausing any
voter to quit hia party, but it it said as
a mattor of fact that is understood by
every voter acqeainted with conditions
in tbs new state. The iaauee of the
campaign are easily understood. It fa
s question with the voter which of the
the partiea willaerve his beat interests,
sad the interests of poe.erity.
