St. Louis, Mo.. Nov. 4. — Aside
from the contest between the parties
the greatest interest centers in the
prohibition question and the race for

There can he no denying the fact,

GREETED BY ENTHUSIASTIC
CROWDS IN DEMOCBATIC
TEBRITOBY .
Beggs, Ok., Nov. 4.— Leaving Ok-
mulgee this morning for a rapid tour
of the oil country, J. W. McNeal, re-
publican nominee for governor, made
his first speech of the day here. A
large crowd greeted the nominee.
They were more eager to hear him
, because Governor Haskell devoted his
speeches In this cetlon altogether to
abuse of him.
I Okmulgee county will give McNeal
a majority far above nominal. The
editor of a democratic paper at Ok-
mulgee declared that no political
speech this year has had the effect
produced by McNeal on a non-parti-
san audience last night.
From Beggs the nominee drove 8
miles across the country to Mounds
and thence to Kiefer, speaking at
both places.
