ALL DEMOCRATS But TWO WE'RE
ELECTED TO THE COUNTY
OFFICES.
Davenport CLAIMS COUNTY
County Attorney Malloy Reelected
by a Majority of Approximate
ly 1000 Votes.

The election Of every state and
county candidate on the democratic
ticket In Tulsa county with the eXcep-
ton Of c. II. Cleveland and William
Mccullough, was practically assured
at - O'Clock last night by the official
election board up to that hour.
That william Mccullough, repub-
lican,. and Henry Walkley, democrat.
both Candidates for sheriff. furnished
the closest race In the county Is evil
denced from the returns already in.
Davenport Carried County.
James Davenport, democratic. seems
to have defeated r. Il. Daniel, repub,
lican, for congress. by a majority In
Tulsa coupnty, of 400 votes This was
"A decided surprise owing to the fact
that Daniel Is a home man. Daven-
ports managers In this city last night
claimed the election Of their man to
congress by a majority of not lesa
than 5000 votes. Davenport claims
to have carried every ono OF the nine
teen counties In the Third congress
slonal district. His total majority
over Daniel In Sequoyah, Creek and
Craig counties was about 450. accord
ing to World returns last night. Au-
thentic returns from the other coun-
ties were unobtainable.
The four-cornered race for repre-
sentative was "A hot one and the result
Is still In doubt.
Malloy Led Ticket.
That Pat Malloy had been reelected
county attorney over David b. Gore.
republican, by the biggest majority Of
any candidate on the county ticket
seems certain. Malloy's majority may
be all the way fnom 700 to 1000 votes.
The election in Tulsa county was
marked by disagreeable weather. A
drenching rain fell almost constantly
from the time the polls opened until
they closed. The sun came out for
awhile In the afternoon and helped
bring out a large vote before the polls
closed in the city. The rain. how
ever, made the roads almost impass-
able in the rural districts. thus keep
ing the farmers away from the polls.
1t is not thought the total country
vote Will come up to tho average.
In the city precincts, democratic
election officers attempted to enforce
the grandfather clause. In spite Of the
order issued tho day previous by the
county election board to the effect
that persons OF all color. holding reg
istration certificates should be allowed
to vote without further examination.
The attempt tp intimidate the negro
voters did not go very far, however,
before they were nipped in the bud.
as IL shown by the big republican ma
jority rolled up in precinct No. 10.
the colored precinct. The fact that
several registration books. containing
duplicate certificates OF registration,
had been lost. resulted I'm some en-
barrassment to voters and election Of
ficers alike In several precincts. Many
voters were allowed to register when
duplicates OF their certificates were
not TO be found. Others, who held
no registration certificates. were not
permitted to vote, at least without
much trouble. because no record OF
their registration could be found.
Many persons voted on registration
certificates made out by the election
board the day previous to election.
The republican electors received one
of the biggest votes ever recorded for
a national ticket in this county. both
the Roosevelt and Taft men believing
that the electors on the ticket would
vote for their respective candidates.
Wilson's majority in the county is
somewhere In the nelghborhood Df
700 votes
In spite of the damp weather great
crowds gathered on the down town
streets last night to hear and see tho
election returns. A half dozen spe-
cial wires I'm various places furnished
by far the greatest Of all
the election crowds was the one ~
The World office. Fully 1000 per-
sons packed Third street. between
Main and Boulder. and watched the
Of Associated Press bulletins
that were flashed from The World Of
