tcrs does not CouCcdv the d'icat OF
Fields and still declares lts returns
show Fields slightly in the lead.
TIP TO noon today Republican head
quarters gave out no figures TO back
up the claim that Fields has b,"u
elected From an unofficial source,
however, IT was stated that ltcpub-
licau headquarters has figures tabu-
lated from the official count of all put
five counties. which show John Fields
leading by l,lOO votes.
Samucls Confident.
Democratic state chairman sam
ucls was confident this morning that
the official count Will show that Judge
Williams has been elected by approx
matcly five thousand. The unofficial
figures given out at headquarters
check up well with the official count
in most of the counties, and Indicate
that the estimate of 5000 Is not far
off according to Mi Samucls. Eugene
Kerr Of Muskogcc at Democratic
Headquarters stated this morning that
the official count from every county
In the state except Creek had been re-
Ceivod at headquarters and that II
shows that Judge williams lead over
Fields IS 6,O9l Allowance has been
made for Creek county cutting that
result down by about three hundred
votes.
According to tabulation of the
vote on governor, United states sena
tor and state treasurer. made from Of
ficial counts in 9i3 precincts Of the
state which were sent To democratic
state Headquarters. United states Sem
ator Gore has probably received "A plu-
rality over Judge Burford, Repub-
lcan, Of from fifty thousand to sixty
thousand.
The vote from the 973 precincts is
well scattered over the state and rep
rcscnts about oue-third Of the total
vote cast. The totals from these pre-
cinCts given out at Democratic head
quarters are: Gore, Democrat, A.
734; Burford, Republican, 27.75O.
Governor Williams, Democrat, &c.
$40; Fields, Republican, 5,i52; Holt,
Socialist, 2O,Gl4. State treasurer. Al
cXander Democrat. 42,3Sl, Mathis,
Republican, 27,479. Figuring these
results on the percentage basis ana
assuming that the ratio would hold
out for the other precincts, the ap-
proximatc pluralities of the Demo-
cratic candidate would be: Senator
Gore $4,000, Judge Williams for gov
ernor $500 and Alexander for treas
urer $4,000. The state treasurer was
taken as a basis for figuring the prob
able average strength or the balance
of the ticket.
II the foregoing figures are reliable,
Judge Williams fell from more than
fifty five thousand votes behind Sen
ator Gore and approximately forty
thousand votes behind the balance Of
Al . taly y.t A I,na al
quarters IT is figured. however, that
Judge Williams plurality Is more
than indicated by the tabulatiOn of
the 973 precincts.
Democratic state Chairman Samuel
stated today that the Democrats
polled the heaviest vote in the south
orn counties Of the state since state
hood. He estimates that 80 per cent
of the full Democratic strength was
pollod In that section this year. as
against possibly 70 per cent in past
elections. At Democratic hcadquar-
ters it is claimed that the final count
will show that the Democrats have
lost no strength I'm southern okla
homa. although the Republicans and
Socialists have both made heavy gains
in some Of the southern counties. This
condition is accounted for by the fact
that thousands Of Democrats who had
not heretofore participated in state
elections were gotten TO the polls
Further analysis Of the Democratic
figures on the governorship race indi-
Gates that Judge Williams carried only

while on the east side or In the coun-
ties embraced formerly I'm Indian ter
