Mr. Price Is somewhat bullish on cot

are writing strong articles showing the

see something in cotton; but whether
they believe what they are writing or
not, don't. The situation has never

Thrcc Are Claiming II.

Three Are Claiming II.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 5.-Rob-
ertson, williams and Jennings are
tonight claiming the nomination for
governor on the Democratic ticket.
no Official returns have yet been re
ceived by the state election board,
and none will be received before to-
morrow.
Robertson claims he is winner by
from 5000 to 10000. Williams
claims it by 5000, and Jennings by
4, 700 TO 5000.
What They Claim.
At Robertson's headquarters It is
claimed that more or less complete
returns have been received from
~ counties I'm the state and upon
the showing it is estimated the plu-
raiitv by which he viii secure the
nomination. williams headquarters
say they have heard from "a coun-
ties. some official, some unofficial
ana upon this they base their claim
of 1900
The count in oklahoma county and
city is not completed and it is pos
sille the exact vote will not be
known before Thursday evening and
possibly Friday morning
West, Dunlop and Herring do not
figure in the running with Robertson,
Williams and Jennings. Returns re-
ceiv,d today at the different head
quarters do not indicate much of a
change from the first information
received except the Williams estt-
mate.
Returns Very Mcagcr.
it is somewhat reduced from the
original claim, this can also be said
"a the Jennings estimate. Every
candidate is sure he has been nomi-
mated as to other offices. but the re
turns even tonight, are so meagcr as
to hardly justify reliability Of the
claims made, except i'm the cases
where the information has been con
