Oklahoma in Possible Doubt

Oklahoma City, Nov. 3.-When fb,.
day after election dawned in Okla
homa 1t found the result Of the presl-
Dental and senatorial vote in the
state still in doubt-for the first
time in the history Of the state.
Although Governor Cox, Democratic
presidential candidate. had at one
time piled up lead of more than
five thousand over his Republican
opponent, Senator Harding. late re-
turns from Okmulgee, Tulsa, Craig
and other counties in the northeast
section Of the state showing a heavy
Republican vote cut his lead .cons.d-
erably. As the vote wavered. il ap-
peared almost certain that complet.
| figures only could tell The result.
compilation early today of the un-
official but complete returns from los,
out OF the 1855 precincts in the state
gave Cox lead Of 4,S77 over Hard
ing. The vote was: Cox 97,g37. Hard
ing s3,496. The returns we're scat
tered over "a of the II counties in
the state. The only counties not heard
from were Cimarron and Texas in
the panhandle section that thrusts
out into the west, and okfuskee. in
the east central portion. III.
A tabulation Of complete. unoffi-
cial returns from 1855 of the 2.Gs5
precincts in the state gave for United
States senator Ferris ID lO5.359, Har-
eld. (r) l02, 2,223. These returns like
wise were scattered over II Of the
states counties.
In the early returns last night Cox
and Ferris leaped into the lead. bur
resulting returns filtering in from
every section of the state did not
increase the lead to an appreciabie
extent In this connection il was
pointed out that in the presidential
race the gap OF three thousand 10
fou rthousand between the candidates
remained practically the same as the
vote piled up, indicating the coseness
OF the race. The same was true OF
the race for United States senator,

ROY NJ JOHNSON THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER" HAS BROKEN INTO
CARTER COUNS HITHERTO SOLID MOSSBACK OFFICIAL FAMILY NEXT!

To Mr.. johnson belongs the repu-
tation of having been the iirst Re
publican son To break into the Off
cial family of Carter county. Mr..
Johnson not only carried the votes
OF his own party but host of DEM
ocrats in every precinct contributed
toward his election.
Ardmore and Carter county never
had a more loyal friend than Mr..
Johnson. He Is a man OF wealth
and can afford 10 give his time to
this county lie has defeated one
OF the best Democrats in the county
which makes his election the more
spectacular. Mr. O'Brien, the defeated
Democrat. has not been holding Of
flee. He was nominated for comm's-
Sioner Of the first district in Au-
gust. defeating the old commission
er and the people had already cleaned
the slate. which makes MIR. .Iohnson's
vote much greater compliment
II Mr. johnson had entered the
race for United states senator in the
primaries last August 1t Is believed
by many that he would have been
elected to that body in yesterdays
Republican landslide. There was a
clamor locally to vote for him and
had he sought higher honors he would
In all probability have won.
While Mr. Johnson is a Rcpubll-
can he Il one OF the best men on
earth. he has even more friends
Il such a thing is possible among the
Democrats than In his own party.
He ran a remarkable race and viii
