Democracy Wins New State.

Oklahoma, City Nov. 6-Democ- racy scored the first victory in the new state. Democratic states men will write the constitution for this new commonwealth. At mid night the secretary Of the Republi- can State Committee conceded the Democrats working majority ln the constitutional convention. Jes- St Dunn, chairman ot the Okla homa Democratic Central Commit tee, says there will be at least 7S Democratic delegates to the con vention.
 Indian Territory, an unknown quantity until today, will give the Democrats big lead i'll the con vention. The entire southern half of Indian Territory went Democrat ic and in the northern section there are many close contests in districts believed to have been Republican. The Indians almost to man, voted the Democratic ticket.
 In Oklahoma nine of the Repub- lican strongholds were invaded by Democrats and the Democratic gains in that section of the new state are far larger than had been expected.
 In many sections of Oklahoma as we'll as ill Indian Territory the candidates favoring prohibition were elected, irrespective Of party affiliation.

DELEGATION IS DEMOCRATIC
Lipht Vote Cast Throughout
 Arkansas.
Republican Nominees for Congress are Defeat ed in Each of the
 Seven Districts.

Little Rock. Nov. 7.-Returns so far received show the election of the Democratic candidates Tn every one of the seven congress sional districts. There was only one district in which the republi- cans made any sort of a fight. That was the Fourth, to which Vice President Fairbanks and Secretary Shaw both journeyed from Washington to deliver ad- dresses. But the Republican vote was wholly disappointing. In Fort Smith, the home of George Tiles, the Republican candidate, the negroes did not turn out as was expected, and Cravens re- ceived 8So votes to 525 for Tiles. Greenwood gave Cravens I22 and Tiles 45. Texarkana went for Cravens more than two to one, and in the smaller towns heard from Tiles was defeated two and three to one.
 Incomplete returns at midnight from Texarkana, Mena and Ash down and from points in Sebastian county give Cravens a total ot 2,o6o against Tiles I,I2I. Polk county will give Cravens 400 ma iority. Sebastian county will probably give Cravens 500 to goo majority.
 In the first district D. F. Tay- Tor, the Republican candidate, was showed under. In his home town ot Osceola he was defeated two to one, and at other places he was not factor in the race. Phillips county, so far as heard from, gave him B votes againt i,4oo for Ma con. Wynne reports 10 for him against 237 for Macon. and Para gould gave him 32, against 28S for Macon.
 In the second Mason, the Repub- lican candidate jared no better than Taylor. Searcy. White coun- ty, reports 5 votes for Mason and 21S for Brundidge, and such were the comparative votes elsewhere, the largest vote for Mason being reported from Batesville, namely A against 254 for Brundidge.
 In the Third district Floyd, Democrat, has easily defeated lvie, judging from the returns received from Van Buren, Benton Wash ington and Boone counties, the to- ,l tai being Floyd 72o, Ivie 4o6.
 Charles C. Reid has an easy victory in the Fifth. In some precincts the Republicans did not turn out at all. The town oi Danville boiled only 65 votes and not one for Hedges. Conway reports 3 out of g precincts, Reid 235, Hedges B, and estimates a majority for Reid of I,5oo ID Faulkner county
 In the sixth district Robinson has a walkover. Lonoke reports 23o for Robinson, against 5 tor Thompson. England gives Rob inson o5, Thompson 10, and ln five townships Thompson's vote totaled only 45, against 557 tor Robinson.
 In the Seventh district Wallace < pad no opposition, and light as cI be vote were everywhere, 1t was is ll lighter proportionately i'll hat district.
 The election was quiet. Not a lngle case or disorder was reported rom any point in the state.
