indicate that the constitution of the
proposed new state has been adopted
by large majority; that the prohibi-

was voted on separately. has been
ratified and that tho democratic state
ticket, headed by c. y. iSskell for
governor. has been elected over the
republican ticket headed by Frank
Frantz, the present territorial gov

The new state chose five congress
men. In the First district the repub-

gate TO Congress b. S. Mcclure. The
Fourth and Fifth districts were con
ceded to the democrats.
Frank Hubbard, republican, is prob
ably elected from the Third district
The Second Is in doubt.
The convention that framed the
state constitution was democratic and
the constitution was obnoxious TO the
republicans. Secretary Taft, speak
ing at Oklahoma City, advised repub-
licans to vote against the constitution.
The new state must await the con

Roosevelt, who will either approve or
reject il upon his judgment as to
whether II conforms to the enabling
