such reduction had been tabled early In
the evening by the committee

marked the opening Of the meeting OF the
committee. An attempt was made az the
outset to have the committee adopt the
same rules az those that governed the PIE
vious convention, but this was defeated. AZ
result it was nearing midnight before the
committee adopted the first rule, by twentY
to eleven.
The vote served 10 mark the rela'iv.
strength. in some measure, OF the Tart and
Roosevelt forces. The main question 'on
sldered was a proposal 10 reduce southern
representation In the national conventions
by bssing such representation on populs'

large. Mr.. Coleman submitted the pro-
possl. Instantly there vas storm of pro-

Oklahoma City, Nov. i4.--ofilcial re-
turns from seyenty-one counties on file
with the state election board make 1t
certain that the total number Of bal
lots east In Oklahoma this year will
exceed by OF least 10000 votes the high
mark of any previous year. With six
counties still out, including Oklahoma
and Muskogee, the two largest demo
cratic counties OF the state, there are
no changes in th proportions OF the
totals either of leading candidates or
parties,
United States Senator Owen countin-
ues to add to his astonishing lead over
the democratic electors and other dem
ocratic candidates, now having q total
OF l07,393 votes against 99.55l votes
for the democratic electors. The repub-
lican electors total for the seyentyone
counties is 1850 or 29,S33 behind SEN
ator Owen and 21,99l behind the demo
cratic electors. The total vote poIled
for the socialist ticket in the seventy
one counties was 37,314, and their claim
OF 10000 in the state probably will be
reached.
