ton to ratify the nominations made
in the primary, TO be held here prob
ably Aug. u. State chairman Tom
Harrill OF Wagner has been in con
ference with party men today and
tonight. and while state convention
was opposed by some, the agree
ment is to follow the precedent Those

this way be given the active banking
of the party in convention as well
as at the polls.
The new state committee Will prob
ably meet Aug. % to organize. Dates
will be definitely fixed following the
arrival of Senator owen tomorrow
morning.
Several of the democratic candi-
dates for congressman at large ar
rived tonight. 1t is generally con-
ceded that Murray and former State
Chairman j. b. Thompson are two
of the nominees, and it is between
Weaver, Echols, Branson, Franklin
and Robertson for third place Wea-
yer stated tonight that he had won.
His vote in southern Oklahoma has
been heavy.
Republican Races in Doubt.
There is yet no figures to show
who won the republican races, Judge
n. b. MaXey of Muskogee today con-
ceded the denomination of Chief
Justice John B. Turner, democrat,
for member of the supreme court
from the Muskogee district. Judge
Turner says his majority will be
more than 1000.
The only official returns received
by the state election board was
from McClain county, which shows
Owen received 115S and Haskell
45l. The congressman at large race
was: Thompson 724, Weaver Az,
Murray 433, Branson 147, Franklin
292, Ross 1886, Robertson 247. Pruiett
420 Harley l54. Republican, for
United States senator Dickerson,
SO, Perry II, Jones l5 Parmenter 9,
and Allen, Brownlee, Brown and
Chappell lead for congressman az
large. The county polled 127 social
ist votes and prohibition votes.
There was an avalanche of expense
accounts coming to the state election
board showing that little money was
expended in the campaign. Most of
1t went to newspapers and for print
ing. Former Senator Brazell, candi-
date for congress in the First dis
trict, spent 4c and Senator J. j. Jones
of Sapupa on the republican ticket
for United States senator spent, ac-
cording to his estimate, 1-2c. In
summing up his chances he added:
For election, none; for nominl-
tion, none"

Outspoken Opposition to His Elec-

iWelch, w Va, Oct Hundreds
Of Republicans will vote against DR..
Fl. d. Hatfield in Mcdowell county
at the coming election Some esti-
mates place the number Of Mcdowell
county, Republicans who will cut DR..
Hatfield from their tickets and vote
for w. r. Thompson as high as 1900.
Most OF the estimates run as high
as 1900 and few fall below 1000,
while 1t is almost unanimously con-
ceded that DR.. Hatfield will run
largely behind his ticket In his home
county
1T Is not exaggeration to say that
hundreds of Republicans in DR.. Hat
fields own county are openly an
|nouncing that they will oppose him
and that many prominent Republic
cans, including office holders and
others who have been prominent In
politics for years are openly work
ing against their fellow citizen.
Many leading Republicans, who
iealously assert their right to be re-
sarded as Republicans, and who ex-
|pect to vote for either Col. Roose-
welt or Mr.. Taft, are opposing DR..
Hatfield as vigorously as they know
how and declaring their belief that
his record Of public service In this
county is such that they do not re-
gard him as fit to become the Gov
ernor of the State.
The opposition to DR.. Hatfield is
found am ong the best class OF citi-
zens of the county, who are general
|ly regarded as the substantial ele-
ment are opposing him and assert
THAT they will vote against him and
exert whatever influence they may
have to induces others to vote against
| him.
Those who doubt that there will
be heavy vote against DR.. Hatfield
| in Mcdowell, county should remem-
beer that in this county more than
l120O votes were cast against him In
1.-THE primary election at which he was
Nominated. 1t is stated here that
these votes swere not cast so much
because of friendship for the other
candidates as because they did not
want Hatfield nominated or elected.
The Republicans are greatly
alarmed over the detection from
their ranks and all the old methods
Of securing maiorities will be en-
lployed but in addition to the Dem
ocrats of the county there are q lot
OF Republicans ready to prevent
these frauds and it is doubtful
whether election frauds can be per-
lpetrated to the same extent as In
previous elections Certain 1t L.
That there Is large Organization
lcomposed of members Of more than
one party which will do all In its
lpower to prevent Hatfield from get
ting any more votes in this county
than he is honestly entitled to, and
| If they succeed IN doing this he will
run far behind his ticket in this his

where bulldogs and babies are reg

splendid reception at every place he

At Williamson, where his audience
lincluded many Republicans as It

spoke, he was loudly applauded not
only when he discussed State mat
tiers lbut even when he told the peo-

ton their county had in other parts
OF the State because OF the election
frauds which have been committed
there, Mr.. Hiner found strong
sentiment there against continu.

Throughout Mingo and Mcdowell

among Republicans very strong
