RETURNS ARE EXCITING.
The returns from over the county came in early and in a
very short time it was evident that every republican county can-
didate had been elected, with the possible exception of one or two.
Long before midnight, however, everything was settled, each man
had a safe lead over his opponent.
The people began to assemble’in the district court room early
after the supper hour and by 8 o’clock the room and all corridors
were crowded to standing room with an excited bunch of men and
women. Every bulletin was received with cheers.
Early in the evening reports from the various states, on the
presidential race began to come in over a special wire to the
Western Union office at the Frisco depot. From the start things
looked like we were to enjoy a Hughes landslide and republicans
were correspondingly happy. From New York, Illinois, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maine and other eastern states came the
word of immense majorities for the republican standard bearer.
Near midnight came the dispatch from Oklahoma City that
the election of Hughes had been conceded by the democratic state
headquarters and that the Daily Oklahoman'had issued a “special”
to that effect. The crowd went wild again. Republicans com-
menced to congratulate each other. All followers of the G. O. P.
were intensely happy.
This continued up until 2 o’clock when, as returns were com-
ing in very slowly, and the crowds were thinning out, the offices
were closed for the nighj.. Chandler citizens went home firmly
convinced that Charles Evan Hughes would be our next president.
Wednesday morning came—and with it a regular knock-out
to the fond hopes of the republicans. Late returns were to the
effect that Wilson was rapidly cutting down the Hughes lead of
the night before. Democrats regained their smiles and good
nature, while old man gloom carressed the features of the re-
publicans.
As time wore on the republicans became more and more
gloomy and the democrats happier and happier. All day Wednes-
day men, women and children gathered in groups and anxiously
discussed the probable outcome.
Wednesday night came the word that Wilson had won and n , ,, ,,

wires to their respective headquarters in Oklahoma City. First '
one side received good news, then the other side heard something
good.
Thus it went all day long. At this writing, Thursday after-
noon at 4 o’clock, the result remains in doubt, though the demo-
crats are making strong claims of winning. In fact they are in
their own minds, perfectly satisfied that Willson has won.

New York, Nov. 9.—Fifty hours after the polls closed in
California, Republican Chairman Rowell conceded the state to
President Wilson. Thus the thirteen votes needed to assure the
president a majority of the electoral college dropped into the
democratic column and apparently ended the suspense and anxiety
of an election which has been unparalleled in American political
history. National Republican Chairman Willcox said: ”1 have
nothing to say.”
Secretary Tumulty, at the summer White House at Shadow
Lawn, sent the news by wireless to President Wilson, en route
to Rhine Cliff, New York.
\ The California returns showed, with only thirty-six pre-
cincts missing, the president’s plurality in the state was 3,131.
THREE MORE THAN NEEDED VOTES.
357 Barring some wholly unexpected reversal in the complete
states leaning toward Wilson, or a change on a recount, Cali-
fornia s acquisition to the democratic column gave the president
269 electoral votes, without New Mexico’s three. In New Mexico
at midnight the president was leading by 2,634 votes, with 158
districts missing, and it was not believed this advantage could
be overcome by Hughes.
Conceding West Virginia, New Hampshire and Minnesota to
Mr. Hughes—and he was in the lead in all three—only gives him
25!) votes, less than the 266 required. With 272 votes in sight.
President Wilson had six to spare for a possible split of electors
in California or a sudden reversal in New Mexico.
LEGAL TALENT PREPARES.
At republican national committee headquarters it was ad-
mitted that, after conferences between George W. Wickersham,
former attorney general of the United States, Everett Colby of
New Jersey, Mr. Hughes, Chairman Willcox and George W.«Per-
kins of Baltimore, preparations were being made to begin legal
proceedings for recounts in states where the results were close.
Chairman Willcox included California, New Mexico, North Da-
•)•”> kota, New Hampshire and Minnesota in his list of states where
recounts' undoubtedly would he demanded.
Democratic headquarters was not behind the republicans in
preparing for legal developments. Chairman McCormick con-
ferred with Alton fS. Parker, former democratic candidate for
president, M. J. O’Brien, Relancy Nicoll and John B. Stanchfield,
1 al1 I)rominent New York lawyers. It was evident that if the elec-
1 tion was to be taken into the courts, the legal giants of both parties
I were being marshalled for such a battle as the United States has
I never seen. ,
