TERRAL, Okla, Aug. li.--If pres
ent prospects materalze this section
of Oklahoma will harvest one OF the
largest crops of corn and cotton that
II has in many years. Corn Is already

bolls, blooms and squares Many
farmers feared that the recent heavy
and continued rains would cause the
boil worms to iniuro the cotton, but
as yet nothing of the knId has ap.
peared. In addition to corn and cot
ton almost every farmer has good
crop of kafir. milo and peanuts, all

RESULT.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 14.-The
creation of legislative drafting and
reference department for the purpose
of ass sting members Of the legisla-
ture in drafting bills so as to get them

dates for the legislature and to mem
bers of the bar over the state and

According to local boxing promot-

This was rather severe handicap

will agree is reasonable to expect,
with the other $4,000 equally divided
between Taft and Roosevelt, as seems
likely, the state would be carried by
Wilson by from $4,000 to $4,000, a

It's as plain as the nose on your

publican majority so that a Demo

and the following editorial appeared
in the Chronicle yesterday, coincident
with the convention:
I'm 1904, when Roosevelt and Park

Michigan gave Roosevelt in round
numbers 365O00 votes and Judge
Parker $4,000. 1t is we'll known that
the nomination of Judge Parker was
not well received by Democrats and
that thousands of them voted for

party and thousands of Republican
votes. 1t is not believed that the

would thus put Michigan on record
as favoring reputation of the
