OIL MaEnnte Wins Contest.
An interesting contest decided Fri
day afternoon was that from Okla
bona, involving the seating Of Jake
Hamon, the Texas oil magnate.
Hamon won the contest for his dele
gates over Joseph J. AfcGraw, Hamon
winning 70 and McGraw % Of the
states delegates. II was charged by
MeGraw that lannon's mortgage and
loaned $50, 1000 to Vernon ". Whiting
state chairman Of oklahoma. to in
fluence his rulings at the state con-
vention- The Hamon delegation came
back with the counter charge that
the whole fight was between the
Catholics and the Protestants. Nc
GraW being Catholic
While the work OF the committee
seems 10 be fair and its decisions
seem 70 be marked largely By the evil
dence In each case presented. there is
an unmistakable LoWden or anti
Wood sentiment. at least. in the com
mittee. Where there seems 70 be
hairs breadth Of doubt in a case.
Wood IS not often given the benefit
OF II. The Chicago Journal Friday
afternoon called It steam rollering in
favor Of Lowden'' and printed what II
called a box score OF the steam roll
ering." showing that up to the hour
OF publication. 81 votes had been
added TO LOwden's total. while Wood
bad gained II and lost SIS. The gain
for Johnson was placed at two. After
that the Georgia contestants favoriug
Lowden were seated and several 9th
er contesting delegations were given
seats. which It is said will further
help Lowden.
sdu Nobody,s Race.
Il IS still ''nobody's race" for the
nomination according TO those best
posted.
The Chicago Journal. which. while
Hiram Jchnson's I'll win" declara-
ton and his attempt at a triumphant
entry into the city, frightened none
OF his opponents. nor did il serve 10
boom his own stock 10 any appreci-
able extent"
This paper thinks. like a lot Of
people. that a dark horse viii get the
nomination
Referring to the prospects, Fl
says @keep your eye on chairman
Hays Find out whom he Is meet
ing at 1 and o'clock in the morn
ing. That open stuff at the Coll
scum every day doesn't amount TO
anything. They are not making
candidate there; they are doing
IL in their private rooms in the
Blackstone. They nre not even
doing "a at the Congress, where
so many OF the smaller fry are
stopping.
look out for Knox or Hughes
Mark Sullivan. editor Of Collier
Weekly. writing for a local paper,
says: Compared TO the manner IN
which Roosevelt was received IN Chi
caEo in 1912. the heralded triumphal
entry OF Johnson into the city was
as a dog fight to a world series ball
game" He adds that II II made any
impression on the delegates. 1T was
slightly unfavorable."
The Hearst papers are doing the
Johnson boom the worst possible
harm, IL IS generally believed. by de-
voting practically all their space to
him and his antics
Sunday the Hearst papers are 10
gre away full page color pictures OF
Johnson and are urging every body 70
put them IN their windows Johnson
is featured in Hearst afternoon and
morning papers so extensively that
the average delegate Is already sick
OF il.
What political news the Hearst pap
ers here print besides laudation Of
johnson is confined to attacks upon
the other candidates as vote buyers
and political crooks. The spectacle
Of an irregular Democrat OF the
Hearst type attempting TO force a
nominee on the Republican party Is
having its effect and viii hurt John
son when the voting time comes.
Prepares For Third Ticket
Old time Republicans can see but
one thing in il, and that Is that
Hearst believes or knows the Call
fornian will bolt and IS preparing a
foundation for a third ticket.
Not many delegates have arrived
yet and at the Coliseum, where the
contests have been heard. one sees
five negroes to one white man, since
most Of the contesting delegations
are negroes. The faction from Geor-
gia led by a negro. Hamilton Johnson,
looked like a black cloud when Il
poured into the hall to take up the
district contests. After Johnson and
his delegates at large had been seated
the Hobbies and corridors are filled
with negroes Of all sizes, shapes and
color-negrocs with brogan shoes,
celIuloid collars and silk hats. negroes
with white shoes. Prince Albert coats
and straw hats. negroes with side
burns and silk skull caps over bald
pates and negroes that are Just
negroes, with nothing to distinguish
