VOTE IN STATE
i IS VEST CLOSE
[OFFICIAL COUNT MAY BE
REQUIRED TO DECIDE
SENATOR
HALLOWE’EN PARTY.
SEVERAL DISTRICTS IN DGUST
Democrats Lose Several Congressmen.
Howard Defeated.—Swank and
Hainer In Close Race In
Fifth District.
Oklahoma City.—The election in Ok-
lahoma as shown by incomplete re-
turns is very close. It will probfrtrty
require the official count to decide the
next senato/. On unofficial returns
Scott, Perris is leading and is more
than likely he will win out when all
returns are in. It seems to be pretty
sure that Governor Cox has carried
the state by a small majority although
tlieie is a possibility that complete
returns may show that Harding has se-
cured tire electoral vote.
On returns from one third of the
state Ferris was leading Harreld by
less than 3000.'’The vote of Gov. Cox
ran a little ahead of Ferris.
Leaders’ Claims Differ.
Claims of rival candidates and lead-
ers of opposing parties were not ham-
pered by the lack of definite reports
from a major portion of the state.
Both Ferris and Harreld declared they
were confident of election to the sen-
ate. Jake Hamon, republican national
committeeman from Oklahoma, ex-
pressed assurance that the presiden-
tial race would go for Harding but said
the senat.orship race was in doubt,
while Cam Campbell, chairman of the
democratic campaign committee, said
his faith was unshaken lhat the com-
plete count, would show a comfortable
democratic margin in the state.
i
Gore Sees Harreld Victory.
Senator T. P. Gore, defeated by
Scott Ferris in August for the uemo-
cratlc senatorial nomination spent
election night at republican state
[headquarters to learp the returns.
"It is impossinie to say much in re-
gard to the senatorial ’race in Okla-
homa but on the face of the incom-
plete returns which we have received
|it looks as if Harreld will be our next
senator and B. T. Hainer the next
representative from the 5th district,”
the senator said when asked about the
election. "1 will make no forecast of
[Judge Harreld’s majority but it seems
ijgafe to say that it will be decisive.”
Harreld Confident.
| “I am undoubtedly going to be elect-
led senator,” Congressman J. W. Har-
jreld, republican nominee, said. "I
tthink my majority will be 25,000 votes
land I think that Senator Harding will
carry the state by the same margin.”
Encouraged Dy peiTect election
weather, with interest aroused by
weeks of intense campaigning by both
•democratic and republican parties,
iuirged to go to the polls by unusual ef-
from party organisations, the
[electorate turned^out. 'r* *' *
On Saturday night at 8 o’clock,
a number of “Hoboes” were en-
tertained by Mrs. Claude Fitzger-
ald. There were also two ghost
present, having journeyed from
the graveyard to tell the lat A
news and unfold the future to this
crowd.
The evening was spent in danc-
ing, fortune telling, and variou-
games which were greatly en-
joyed. Russell Fox and Cleo
Shaw won the pumpkin pics for
having the best costumes. Re-
freshments were served at tpid-
night and then a large bon fire
was built and, as usual, jokes and
ghost stories were told.
At an early hour in the morning
we bid the hostess “good morn-
ing” and departed for Sunday
school.

Most men carry insurance. They insure their lives, their
houses and their household goods. But how many men stop to
think if their money is insured?
If your money is deposited in a state bank it is insured by
the DEPOSITORS' GUARANTY LAW. This gives insurance
against loss from fire, wind, robbery and dishonesty. For if a
bank should fail from these causes, depositors would be paid im-
mediately and in full from the STATE GUARANTY FUND.
Put your money where it is insured. Open an account with
us. You will know then that it is safe,

dency, Warren G. Harding issued a
Statement saying that instead of be-
ing exultant over the result he was
“more given to prayer to God to make
him capable of playing my part.”
The senator’s statement follows:
“Assuming that the early returns
are wholly dependable, I do not hesi-
tate to aay that I am pleased, of
course, I am happy to utter my grati-
tude. But I am not exultant. It Is not
a personal viotory. It is a renewed
expression of confident Americanism
and a national call to the republican
party.
"It Is also serious, the obligations
are so solemn that instead of exulting ’
I am more given to prayer to God to
make me capable of playing my part,
and that all these calls to responsi-
bility may meet the aspirations and
expectations of America and the
world.
“I am sure the people who voted
the republican ticket will understand
my feeling that I should make no un-
studied statement of policies at this Montana
time, beyond the expression made
throughout the campaign.”
Daugherty Issues Statement.
Coincident with the senator’s state-
ment, Harry M. Daugherty, a member
[of tnh republican campaign committee
made thjs statement here:
'It It the greatest victory in Ameri-
can politics, clearly foreshadowed and
predated. It Is more than a parti-
san victory as the result was contrib-
uted to toy millions of democrats. The
women of the nation have quickly vin-
j dlcated the conferring of the suffrage
privilege as they sensed correctly the
' Issues and rallied to the cause of
America and American institutions.
| The republican party Is fully conscious , ~
of the great responsibilities tmine-
I diately Implied in this popular verdict
and win faithfully keep its
tlona.”
