Oklahoma City, July 2S.--At Hayes
headquarters here the prediction was
made today that Samuel w. Hayes will
be nominated for United States sena-
tor by majority of 25,OO0.
During the past week number of
important and accurate polls have been
taken in various parts of the state.
At Mangum, with the town full Of
farmers, the result of careful poll

The wonderful change in sentiment
which is assuredly going to place Sam
uel W. Hayes in the United States sen
ate is but the natural result of the
popular awakening to the fact that
Samuel w. Hayes typifies purity of
character, progressive principles and
pronounced ability, and above all sin
cerity.
The closing days of primary cam
Ipaign nearly always bring to light a
few of the Inconsistencies as well as
the real nature of the candidates for
nomination.
One of the most noticeable results
of this campaign has been the pro
nounced breakdown in the braggadocio
spirit heretofore displayed by Senator
T. P. Gore. Early in June he an
nounced that he was so certain Of re
nomination that he would not leave
Washington, but would stay on the
iJb and exert his magnificent influ-
ence in behalf of his constituency, en-
joying perfect confidence in his being
re-nominated without any effort on his
part. In the latter part of June, how
ever, he reversed his decision and hur-
ried to Oklahoma, forsaking his many
duties az Washington, and going on
the stump in behalf of has candidacy.
At that time he took the remarkable
position of saying that he would viii
the race to l, and yet was forsaking
his important duties in Washington to
campaign the state in his own behalf.
After his initial swing around the
state July, he reduced his supposed
majoriy from to to bare majority.
and he is now becoming peevish and
indulging in the most gIaring inaccura-
cies and Inconsistencies. For instance.
at a number of places he has indulg
| ed in personalities, not only against
Judge Hayes, but against the local men
at the place where he was speaking,
hurting AT them vituperatiye epithettss
for having dared to espouse the cause
of Judge Hayes and fight the sena-
tor.
At Sallisaw he admitted that he had
endeavored to get a negro appointed as
registrar of the treasury, but said he
found justification for his conduct in
the fact that he was for the Oklahoma
negro as we'll as the Oklahoma white
man.
At Norman he again admitted the
accuracy of the record which has been
produced against him. but said he did
it .because he vested tc.dc. she adnir
istration a favor But, at Davis, when
speaking to the ex-Confederate veter'
ans he held up the negro recor6 and
positively denied that there was a word
OF truth in it; denied all connection
/ with the affair, and said he was for an
Indian for that position all the time.
Now every place he goes he singles
out some OF the Hayes supporters and
