OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Nov. 10
The outstanding feature Of the
Oklahoma returns was the conceded
slump in socialist strength.
The socialists did not elect a con.
gressman, state official or apparently
a member Of the legislature. On the
basis of present incomplete returns,
Oklahoma will probably poll 5000
votes for Wilson, $4,000 for Hughes
and $4,000 for Benson. Wilson is
likely to have majority over all.
