Enid, o. Il. June 2e.-It is the concensus
OF opinion among the delegates who re-
uained in the city after the convention
that B. s. Mcclure is one Of the strongest
Zen the Republican party could have
nominated as its candidate for delegate to
congress. It was undoubtedly a Nc
CURE convention, and d better organiza-
ton no candidate has ever had The other
candidates were factors in the conven-
tion, and at times it seemed that EIcNeal
was a dangerous man 70 the MCGUIRE in
terests. There were statements going the
rounds in the convention that portions of
the Logan county delegation was not sin
cerely for McNeaL Whether these state
Tnents were true or not. the reports had
the effect Of creating interest in other
candidats in delegations that might have
gone for McNeal.
Repeated attempts were made to ad-
5ourn the convention until after supper,
o.; for two hours. At one time it was be-
lieved that an agreement was reached be-
tween Roberts. McNeal and Morgan
men, whereby the convention was 10 ad-
5ourn and a compromise arranged between
the candidates. There were attempts be-
fore this agreement was entered into, to
adjourn the convention, but each time it
was a failure. Before the final test was
10 come, the stampede TO Mcclure began
and then II was too late.
Mcclure left here last night on a late
train He was kept busy from the time
OF his nomination until train time, shak-

the faculty of leaving a good impres
sion with every man he meets.
The convention just closed has gone
down into history as the greatest politi-
cal gathering in Oklahoma. In every
respect it was a remarkable convention,
and it would be impossible to have a con-
ventiOn anywhere with less feeling than
there was. here yesterday. There could
not have been more hard work done IN
any convention than the one just
closed. but for all that, it was free from
the talk that usually starts in hot po-
l:tical campaign
Before leaving the city every candidate
for the nomination stated that he had
no sore spots, and while there might be
desires for a change in the result, yet
after the decision of the delegates in the
convention was made they were for the
Lominee and viii go into the campaign
with as much or more yigor than in
former years.
Mcclure Is believed to be a winner 1t
Is known that he is a splendid cam
paigner and he viii, from this time on,
eevote his entire time TO the campaign.
Just when he viii resign fremsthe United
States attorneys office, is not known, but
s. will be within n short time, and he
will do no more work as assistant prose-
cutor.
The convention was freer from the max
fng of promises than the majority of
conventions in Oklahoma. Mcclure Sc
cured his nomination without making a
promise and starts into the campaign alb
soutely free on this score.
The candidates all worked hard for the
nomination and made many friends b.
the manner in which they handled their
forces. and conducted their campaigns. /
