Oklahoma City Journal: The Republic
can convention represented $500 Republi-
can voters. 1t is probable that the mem
bership OF the clubs represents about the
ordinary voting strength, although IL does
not include all the Republicans in the ter
ritory by any means. Allowing Demo-
cratic population, to be liberal, OF 5000,
the total vote that might reasonably be eX
pected from Oklahoma reaches i, 500. The
vote in the western states is usually one
sixth as great as the population Inas-
much as there is an unusual percentage of
young men in Oklahoma the vote would
probably equal fifth of the population,
which gives population by our count, of

tion by parties who have an extensive
knowledge of the territory puts it at Co.
