e THE OKLAHOMA CONVENTION. “Alfalfa” Murray, of Tishomingo, Chosen as President by the Dem=- cratic Ci Guthrie, Ok, Nov. 20.—Following all-day bitter fight between the of the democratic delegates to the constivutional conven- which met here Tuesday, Wil- tm H. Murray, of Tishomingo, gen- known throughout the state as “Alfalfa,” was Monday night chosen ‘as the nominee for president of the convention. : The only other name offered in the caucus was Peter Hanraty, of South MeAlester, president of the twin ter- ritory federation, who received the votes of the Murray opposition, made up in the most part of those delegates which the democratic machine in the new siate had tried to line up for W. ©, Hughes, of Oklahoma City, the machine candidate. The fight became so bitter during the day that charges of treachery were made. W. C. Hughes who had been eliminated from the presidency race, made the statement that the élction of Murray not only would mean the adoption practically of the Sequayoh constitution, which the In- dian territory constitutiunal conven- tion adopted at Muskogee in 1905, } but also uniform prohibition for 20 years over the entire state, WE CA Prove it By You We have the largest and best selected STOCK OF MENS BOYS AND CHILDRENS SUITS OVERCOATS For less money than than any house in BUTLER or Bates county We only advertise FACTS.
