HON. CHARLES NJ. HASKELL,
we Flrst Governor of Okl

Scattered and incomplete returns
= at have been received indicate that
Bon. Charles N. Haskell, the demo-
eratic nominee, is the peoples choice
fbr governor of Oklahoma.
His majority will probably be $4,000.

Son, at Oklahoma City, claimed his
Hlection by 10000.

Was claiming the election of the re-
publican nominee by a majority Of

The constitution has been adopted
bg a majority that will range from be-
bweeh fifty and seventy-tve thousand,

opposition was stronger against it
than was expected.

s|aim from 30, 900 to 10000. The Citi-
ems League. supporting the saloons
md brewerles, claims the defeat of
Hohibition by 10000. The election as
ar as prohibition is concerned may be
nKalid as the Constitutional Conven-
i0n has failed to file an original copy

comment Of c. n. Haskell, after lis

morning in his Office in the Turner
Hotel at Muskogee. Lounging back
in a big swivel chair, his feet on the
desk, the gLbernatorial aspirant spent
a busy evening receiving the congrat-
ulations Of his friends, reading the
bulletins aloud and answering tele-
phone calls and figuring on the result.

A DEADLY MACHINE
Automobile Runs Into Telegraph
Pole, Killing Three Out Of
Seven Elks.

Colorado Springs, Cello. Sept. 1S-
An automobile containing seven
prominent Elks, while returning here
from Maniuou early yesterday, ran
into telegraph pole. Three were
killed and one fatally wounded. The
dead are William Rallston, a dealer in
electrical supplies; Britton Graves, a
druggist; and the chauffeur, whose
name was Gray. The party left the
Elks' club house following a social ses-
sion and they we're going home at a
terrific rate of speed.

Oklahoma City, 0. t., Sept. Isl B.
Thompson, Democratic chairman,
claims the election Of Haskell by 40,-
600 and that the constitution has car
ried by one hundred thousand He
says, however, there will be no definite
complete returns before tomorrow
evening.
Early returns indicate that the vote
on state wide prohibition is closer than
was at first expected and the result is
in doubt, though 2. G. Dinwiddie, who
has charge Of the prohibition cam
paign, claims $1,000 majority for pro
hibition.

At the holr Of going to press it is
impossible to get complete and accu-
rate returns from all the precincts in
the county, but the entire Democrat
ic ticket is elected by majority rang
ing from $50 to 200. The returns
from the four wards in the city Of
Vinita with the exception Of one or
two nominees, show that the Demo
Gratis have carried the city by small
majority.

not In dissipation. but In wholesome
recreation and fun. He has always
tried to see the humorous side Of

sweetness Of character and poise and

lost his property and the most of his
family and relatives. yet he radiates
sunshine and helpfulness wherever he
goes.
A man who can laugh outside when
