gates In Grady.

From every indication this morn.
ing, the county convention of repub-
licans which is to be held here to-
morrow is to be very quiet and
ordinary affair, instead of the lively
contest that had been predicted by
some, according to reports of Nc.
Graw men.
This for the reason that as far as
reports were obtainable this morn
ing, the McGraw followers won a
handy victory in the precinct con
vertions held yesterday and in
which sessions SO delegates were
chosen to represent the various pre-
cincts at the countrywide meeting
tomorrow.
In Chickasha the delegates will go
to the convention uninstructed as
to Hamon or McGraw for national
committeeman, but the results of
the precinct conventions seem to
put the McGraw supporters in the
saddle and the leaders state that
the delegates chosen will stand
hitched.' 1t is pointed out, however.
that these delegates are at liberty
to throw the entire support to a
dark horse should such an animal
put in an appearance and should
their inclinations be toward him.
Leaders Of the Mceraw faction in
Chickasha stated this morning that
reports had been received from va
rious precincts over the county to
the effect that McGraw men were in
control, but that the delegates would
come to the county convention I'M
