Oklahoma City, Nov. 9.-Oklahoma
will probably have two Republican con-
gressmen-Bird Mcclure in the First
district, and Dick T. Morgan, in the
Second, the balance going to the Dem
ocrats. McGuire's plurality has nev-
er been in doubt since election night.
Complete unofficial returns from ev'
cry county in the Second district give
Morgan a majority over Judge John j.
Carney of S77.
Morgan's majorities by counties are:
Beaver, 239; Harper, $50; Ellis, 454;
Woodward, 3S9; Woods, 423; Alfalfa,
451; Blaine, 1874; Major, 495.
Carney's majorities are: Cimarron,
GO; Texas, 1876; Custer, 33; Oklahoma,
9O1; Grady, II; Roger Mills, Al; Cana.
dian, 420; Dewey, 40; Caddo, 200. To-
tai 1896 Morgan's majority, SIT.
In the First judicial district, Justice
John b. Turner has been reelected
by a majority which probably will ex-
ceed 200 votes, and in the southern
district Justice Furman of the Grim
inal court of appeals, has defeated his
opponent.
All scattering returns indicate that
the Russell bill asking the recall of
the state board of agriculture has car
ried.
In a statement issued at o'clock
H. L. Bolen, chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Campaign Committee,
claimed that Wilson and Marshall
have carried the state by a plurality
of 10000. Bolen based his estimate
upon returns from eastern and south.
ern counties and scattering and IN
complete returns from the northern
counties.
The Democratic majority will be
swelled by the fact that the vote in
the southern counties is the heaviest
ever cast in a state or national elrc-
ton. A heavy rain early in the dav
threatened to keep much Of the copn-
try vote away from the polls, tut
all doubts as to the. southern vote
were dispelled in the evening when
retorts reached Democratic state head
quarters that the vote in that section
was heavy.
Reports from all over the STAGE in
dicate that Oklahoma City will retain
the capitol. From every section re-
porting at an early hour the inn a
tions were that Guthrie had lost out
in the capitol removal fight by
large majority.
Chairman Bolen claims the election
of the entire Democratic state ticket
by majorities ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000. All reports received up to 10
o'clock indicated that Senator Robert
l.. Owens and Jack Love-, chairman
Of the corporation commission, are
leading the Democratic ticket and that
the three candidates for congressman
at-large are running together well up
with the other candidates.
The 1913 Legislature will be demo-
cratic by a heavy majority. The re-
turns indicated more than eighty dem
ocratic members in the lower house,
where the total membership is 80, and
SO or 81 democratic state senators in
the upper house where the total mem
bership is A.

complete unofficial returns from all
the counties of Kansas have been re

George B. Hodges, Democrat, for gov

the official count will be required to

The result on the state ticket prob
ably will be determined by the mail

least 5000 votes.
Eight hundred votes were cast at

New York, Nov 9.-Returns up to a
late hour last night seemed to assure
Wilson and Marshall of 400 votes in
the electoral college. Iowa and Kansas,
which, with Minnesota, South Dakota
and Wyoming were in the doubtful
column during the day, seemed almost
sure tonight to swell the Democratic
ticket total in the final alignment of
states Possibilities of a further gain
remained for Wilson through the ac-
cession of both Wyoming and Mime
sofa. In the former state he led Taft
by small margin with one-third of
the vote tabulated, and in the latter
was a hundred votes ahead of Roose-
welt in similar proportions of the
total.
On the other hand late figures from
South Dakota tended to assure the
state to Roosevelt, the Progressive
candidate leading by fair margin and
mintaining his lead fairly well on
added returns.
The Chanute times., 1912-11-15

Washington, d. c., Nov. 9.-Control
of the senate in the siXty-third con-
gress is now practically assured to
the Democrats. Conceding to the Re-
publicans the legislatures of all states
still in the doubtful column tonight,
the Democrats will have vote of
forty eight or just one-half of the en-
tire membership of the senate with a
Democratic vice-president in the chair
to cast the deciding ballot in case of
a tie. Seven states are yet to be
heard from definitely. A senator from
one of these would give the Democrats
a clear majority, and it is possible
that their strength will be even fur
ther increased by winning several.
Kansas has been added to the Dem
Ocratic column in the last twenty-four
hours. The states in which the COM
plexion of the legislatures is yet to
decided, are:
Illinois, Michigan, New Hampshire,
Oregon. South Dakota, Tennessee and
Wyoming. Ordinarily Tennessee could
be relied upon to help the Democratic
party. bue the factional fight there
may prevent.
The Chanute times., 1912-11-15

New York, Nov. 9.-Only the uncer-
tainty of few close states, whose
electoral vote in no way can affect the
election of Wilson and Marshall, spec
ulation over the popular vote of the
three presidential candidates and the
complexion of legislatures that will
name United States senators held in
terest tonight in the final returns of
Tuesdays general election.
The total of the Republican electoral
column apparently was fixed at the
tewlve votes of Idaho, Utah and Yer
mont, but the footing of the Wilson
and Roosevelt columns flickered alter
nately during the afternoon and night
as late returns from Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyom-
ing gave indications of change from
the results accepted last night,
On the basis of the latest returns
early in the evening, with the vote of
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Wyoming placed in the
doubtful column, President-elect Will
son had 387 certain votes in the elect
oral college; Colonel Roosevelt SO, and
President Taft -.
Estimates of the poular vote polled
by Governor Wilson ranged through
many millions during the day. 1t was
found impossible to compute with any
accuracy the popular vote of any Of
the presidential candidates, and it will
be a number Of days until an accur-
ate tabulation of the popular vote
is made possible
Assertions were made today from
several quarters where an effort had
been made to gather preliminary pop
ular vote figures, that Governor Will
son had not secured a majority of the
votes cast throughout the country,
The popular votes, however, would in
no way affect his election, or his COM
plete control of the electoral college,
should it show his total to be less
than that of the combined vote for
Roosevelt and Taft.
