republican, in the fourth district
Early figures on the defeat Of Miss
Alice" were surprising TO democrats
and republicans alike. Even the most
ardent supporters Of HastiS IS had not
predicted that he would win by ma
tprity OF more than two to one. which
was indicated In the figures.
Howard Leads in First.
In the first district, E. b. Howard,
OF Tulsa, remocrat, took a two-to-one
lead over T. A. Chandler OF Vinita,
the republican candidate, and main
tanned this throughout the night.
While returns were unaccountsbly

and 4,01T for Chandler, with 72 pre-
cincts out of 443 in the district re-
porting.
Hastings Has Strong Lead.
As returns kept piling up, the ma
jority of w. W. Hastings. Of Table
Robertson, of Muskogee. republi-
can. steadily increased. Even Musko-
gee county, the stamping ground OF
the nations only congresswoman dur
ing the past two years, did not give
her the heavy vote she expected. In

Hastings well in the lead, and most
Of the precincts in the county showed
similar majorities.

than two lengths. Pontotoc county

years.
swank Carries All Counties.
Indications are that F. B. Swank,

CARRIER Has Hardest Contest.
Milton c. CARRIER, the republican
candidate Of Enid, in the eighth dis
