Former Attorney-General John W. Griggs was temporary and permanent chairman. Justice Fort obtained 753 votes on the informal ballot. That was more than a clear majority, as there were 1167 delegates. A motion to make the nomination by acclamation prevailed. The platform indorses the National and State administrations of Presi dent Roosevelt, and Gov. Stokes claims all the credit for all good legislation and good things done in the State. It favors an amendment of the United States Constitution pro viding for the direct election of Unit ed States Senators, promises reform legislation relative to grand juries favors vesting in the Judiciary the power to review primary and general elections, to order a recount and to seat the properly elected candidate. Proper legislation for the control of public utilities is promised, as is simi lar legislation on excise. The elec tion of Assemblymen by districts is favored. Fiscal reforms and the con solidation of departments and com missions of the State government ara declared wise. The New Idea planks as to excise and public utilities measures were more specific and definite, but were voted down. Charles N.

Returns from the larger cities and counties of Okla homa and Indian Territory indicate that the constitution of the proposed new State has been adopted by 60,000 majority; that the prohibition clause of the constitution has been ratified by 30,000, and that the Democratic State ticket, headed by C. N. Haskell for Governor, has been elected. The Legislature is Democratic by a large majority, and will elect as United States Senators Robert L. Owen, a Cherokee Indian, and T. P. Gore, a blind man. They were nom inated by primaries in June. In the Congress election the Demo crats seem to have chosen four of the five Representatives. The candidates probably elected are: First District Former Delegate to Congress Bird S. McGuire, Republican. Second District E. L. Fulton, Democrat, defeating ex-Territorial Governor E. B. Ferguson. Third District James Davenport, Democrat. Fourth District C. D. Carter, Democrat. Fifth District Scott Ferris, Dem ocrat. The new State must await the con stitution's indorsement by President Roosevelt, who will either approve or reject it upon his judgment as to whether it conforms to the enabling act of Congress and the Constitution of the United States. In the enabling act Congress pro vided for prohibition in Indian Terri tory until January 1, 1927. The pro hibition clause voted on applies the same provision to the Oklahoma side of the new State. If it has carried, as it now seems, State-wide prohibition will be a part of the constitution for twenty-one years, and at the end of that period will remain in force indefinitely un less repealed.

The President announced his formal acceptance of the invitation extended to him some time ago to go on a hunting trip in Louisiana during his projected down- the-Mississippi journey, and in conse quence of that acceptance he will be in the canebrakes from October 4 to 21. The details of the Louisiana so journ, which is to be called a camp ing expedition," have not yet been worked out and the exact spot where the President and his friends will pitch their tents is not announced. It is said that it will be somewhere in the northeastern section of the State, near enough to a telegraph wire for Assistant Secretary Latta. who will be stationed within reach, to put him in touch with official business if the heed arises, yet far enough away for the President to enjoy seventeen days of uninterrupted recreation with his friends if public business does not require his attention.

Charlotte, Special. Farmers in the city Sunday report great damage to cotton by the storm "which passed over this section Sunday night as a reminder that the equinox was at hand. They say that fully ten per cent, of the cotton that was open in the bolls has been torn from the stalk and strewn along the ground. Aside from this, which represents the great est amount' of the damage wrought the cotton which held out against the strong wind is badly stainerd and therefore depreciated in value. Corn was blown down, but the damage to this crop is not consideredandtath ih this crop is comparable with that which cotton sustained. This comes as a heavy loss to the farmers large ly m view of the fact that at least half of the cotton was open in many sections.
