by Campbell of Edmond Darling, of
the university, won the all-round medal,
taking five frstss and one second in six
events, making a total of % points. The
track was muddy and slow.
The crowd in Guthrie today to witness
the intercollegiate contests was not as
large as expected because of the con-
tinued rain during the forenoon. Still
water sent in a delegation of 400 and
Edmond claimed 3a6 by actual count
About 200 came in on the morning train
from Norman and the party from King
fisher was about fifty less. All of the
trains brought people, but there would
have been many more if the weather had
been fair
All the forenoon people gathered in
houses or under the awnings along the
business streets. The Edmond band, with
its uniforms of bright red, went up to
the Territorial building about IL o'clock

officers. The drums were partly soaked
with water but the band gave some
excellent music all the same, for which
they were loudly cheered by the people
On the streets.
The downpour of rain ceased about the
hour of noon and soon the sidewalks on
the business streets began TO be filed
with people and the college colors were
seen everywhere. Kinsfsher displayed

and an hour later people made up their
minds that the contests would be carried
out as per program and soon loaded cars
were pulling out for the Driving park
on the Denver, Enid and Gulf and the
streets leading to the grounds were filed
with carriages.
OF course there was enthusiasm. as
there always is where college students
are assembled. The various events in
the field caused great cheering and the
vfctors were the heroes Of the hour.

TWENTY DELEGATES CHOSEN
Hearst is Endorsed and Kansas City
Platform Reaffirmed

| Saltwater, o. T.. May 27.-At a conyen-
| ton of the fusion forces held here twenty
delegates were selected to represent Payne
county at the territorial convention al
/ Anadarko next week Hearst was unan-
! imously endorsed and the Kansas City
| platform reafirmed. John Foster viii be
Payne county's candidate before the terri
| torial convention for delegate TO the ma
tionalconvention and the delegation was
instructed to use their influence in secur-
ing for him the. place.
Strong resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the actions OF the Republican
party and Bird Mcclure in not doing
something effective toward getting state
hood for Oklahoma
Ten delegates were also chosen TO rep
resent the county at the congressional
convention at Oklahoma City. James l..
Mathews, who is candidate for delegate,
to congress, will head the delegation.
Considerable of squabble prevailed when
an effort was made TO instruct for
Mathews and it was finally agreed upon
to send a delegation uninstructed.
Uncle Jimmy Mathews is looked upon
as frmidabie candidate for congress by
reason of his party affiliations. He has
always been Populist and that wing
of the fusion forces claim that it is enti-
tied to the nominee in this campaign.
He was also an active member in the
lower house of the last legislature and
was Payne countys representative in tow
former sessions. 1t is claimed for him
that he is Oklahoma's pioneer green
hacker.
But the Payne coupnty convention fail
ed to instruct for him and now it appears
as if Bill Cross or Edgar Jones held the
upper hand. Billy Bowles, speaker OF the
last legislature, has many friends in
Payne county and may capture part of
the delegation.
The convention also favred a change in
the territorial committee in order, it is
said, to harmonize the Democracy. Jack
Hartenbower was elected chairman of
the Democratic county central committee
and Harry Donart secretary.
Several candidates have sprung into
prominence for the various county offices.
James Springer. a young and popular
lawyer Of this city has announced his
candidacy for probate judge. William
Lauderdale is looking for the county
treasurer's office Harry Jones, one of
the cvounty commissioners. and a real
Englishman, would like to represent
Payne county in the next legislature.
1t was not decided when the county
convention will be held, but the leaders
say 1t will be very late. Those who claim
to know say that Payne county will be
won for the fusion forces although a
warm contest IS expected

TO BOOM TULSA

rience of other western communities has
shown that most of the street Arabs sent
to the west are bad blood, and that it is
about as difficult to make good citizens

there is no truth in the story. The al
