HOKE SMITH ADDRESSED
THE CONVENTION AMID
GREATEST ENTHUSIASM

MACON, Ca, Sept Especial AT
1920 tonight the Democratic State
convention had taken it's fifth ballot
in an effort to nominate a standard
bearer for the short-term senatorial
race and Thomas W. Hardwick lead
the field with 141 votes. Slaton ap-
peared to be losing strength slowly,
but steadily, while Fielder thus far hal
failed TO show any new strength.
Hardwick polled 141 delegates on this
ballot, while Slaton mustered only
1913 and Fielder 81, with Hutchens
trailing along with IA delegates under
his standard.
The influence Of Senator Hoke Smith
is apparent among the delegates, and
the nomination of Hardwick, if attain
ed before morning, will be reached as
a result of the support of the senior
senator from Georgia.
1t was day Of excitement from
early 2rning. The convention was
GALE o order promptly at 10 O'CLOCK
byN enator West. Then the steam
roller that had been well oiled, was
brought into play and it worked to
perfection.
w. E. Jenkins was named temporary
chairman, and Judge E. J. Reagan per-
manent chairman. st. Elmo Massen-
gale was chosen secretary.
This was the slate that had been
chosen. The temporary chairman ap-
pointed a credentials committee which
was believed to be favorable to Fielder
and at II O'Clock the convention ad-
journed until o'clock to hear from
this committee.
The committee was not ready to re-
port at 2 o'clock, and recess after
recess was taken, after leaders haa
unsuccessfully tried to adjourn the
convention until 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
Governor Slaton entered the hall at
4:45 p. m. and was wildly cheered.
Hardwick also received a deafeaing
cvat;on minute late as he entered
the assembly room and shook hands
with many of the delegates. AS Hard
wick passed through the isle the
Washington county banner, bearing
the likeness Of a huge rooster, was
lifted high and the delegates broke in
to pandemonium.
At SIS o'clock the Credentials com
mittee reported that it was ready to
report. Several contests had been de-
cided and delegations unseated and
new ones put in their place.
DIR. Statham on State Committee

work, the members of the State Exec
utive committee were chosen. Those

to vote as their conscience dictated
after the first ballot.

WILL LET PRINTING
OF BALLOTS FRIDAY
CONTRACT PROVIDES FOR FIRST
TIME FOR ROTARY PLAN FOR.
POSITION OF NAMES.

Oklahoma City, July 1.-Contract
for printing the ballots to be used in
the August primary will be awarded
by the state board of affairs Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, according to
announcement Wednesday by Chair
man Lon NJ. Frame, of the board. The
contract was to have been awarded
Tuesday but postponement was nee
essary on account of a delay in the
preparation of the copy of .specifca.
tions for the ballot in the office Of
the secretary of the election board.
The delay, it is explained, was occa-
stoned by the enormous amount Of
work attached to getting the copy and
specification in shape for the printer,
there being altogether approximately
1000 names to provide for.
One of the most interesting, as well
as puzzling phases of the new ballot
is the system of rotation for names
of candidates, which is the first time
this plan has been carried out in Okla
homa. Heretofore names have ap-
peared in alphabetical order.
Secreary Joe Morris of the state
ELECTION board gave out the following
statement Wednesday afternoon out.
lining the rotation plan adopted by
the board, and which will be carried
out in the preparation of the ballots
as follows:
Morris Statement.
"The plan adopted by the state elec
tion board for the rotation of names
on the state ballot in the August pri.
mary, as required by the new election
law, is as follows:
"The county is taken as a unit, as
the names of the candidates for mem
bers of the house of representatives
Of the state legislature elected from
the city are placed on the state ballot |
Then taking the county as a unit di-
vide the total number of ballots re-
luired in each county by the most
candidates running for any |
single office. In the case of the demo-
cratic ticket the largest number of
for any one office, are for
lieutenant governor, where there are
en aspirants. The number ten then
becomes the number to divide into the
otal number of ballots required in
,ach county.
This will require ten changes in the
,allots for each county as follows:
"The first run of ballots for each sep
rate county shall be in number

EFFORT TO HAVE
BETTER WHEAT
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION UR-
GES FARMERS TO STICK TO
TURKEY RED VARIETY.

Oklahoma City, July 1.-Oklahoma
wheat in the past has very often been
OF inferior quality, although il We. .gh-
ed well. This was due to the fact
that the farmers had allowed their
seed to deteriorate. Among the agel-
cies that are working to get better
seed and consequently better crops
for this state, the agricultural COM
missioners of the railroads are cas-
lily most active. II. NJ. Cottrell. ag-
ricultural commissioner for the Rock
Island, has been telling the farmers
and grain dealers and bankers ard
millers of the necessity for sowing
better seed if the top market is to
be had for the crop. He says that
actual tests have sI0wa tnaI Okla
homa wheat is too often mixed and
inferior
"Millers do not want the yellow,
berry mixed wheat" said Mr. Cottrell.
1T does not produce as much flour
as an equal quantity of pure, hard
Turkey red wheat. 1t takes four bush
els and thirty pounds of hard Turkey
red wheat to make a barrel of flour.
and from four bushels and forty
pounds to five bushels of the mixed
b,rhriI ufhnat tA thA
tity- of flour. A carload of hard Tur-
key red wheat, 1000 bushels, Will
make 1850 pounds of flour; ear.
load of yellow.berry will make from
39,20O to $4,000 pou1ls Of floCr. A
loss of three-fourths of ton to over
two tons of flour from each carload of
wheat is serious, and this loss is tax
en- as it should be, out of the price
paid to the grower Of the wheat
wheat was a failure several years
ago on one Of the branches of the
Rock Island lines, and the railroad
loaned the farmers the seed they need
ed The railroad decided to get the
purest and best hard Turkey red seed
available with a view to having a per-
manent large source of pure seed for
distribution over the whole system
The plan worked all right the first
year. The second year a farmer from
Ohio settled in this territory and in
sisted on sowing the soft wheat that
did best at his old home. Farmers
from Michigan and Indiana brought
their favorite home sorts. Several
farmers saw glowing announcements
in seed catalogues of new varieties
and bought of them. The binder and
thrasher in a few years succeeded in
getting these several varieties thor.
oughly mixed throughout the district
1t was easy To pick up handful of
wheat from almost any wagol load
and sort out FIVE t. seven varieties
The farmers there had to take &C or
7c less than the market price for
their wheat"
A committee frcm the grain deal
ers has been appointed to visit the
northern hard wheat fields this sea
son and secure the best possible seed
for sale to the farmers of Oklahoma
in an effort to get the standard of
the grain to a higher plane.

At CANNON SCHOOL HOUSE JULY IS

Several days ago, a prominent citl-
zen of Graham township was in Ard
more in conversation with a number
of Carter colnty's candidates, and
Jokingly suggested that each of the

penses of rousing picnic to be
pulled off somewhere near the center
of Graham township at some time dur
ing the month of July, in order that

idea at once, and said that they
