Oklahoma Woman Victorious In Battle of Ballots.

A copy of an Oklahoma City, Okla., newspaper reaches us, telling of the nomination of Mrs. Belle Hedlund, of that place, for county superintendent of the public schools. Mrs. Hedlund is a sister of Mrs. A C. Pancoast, of west of town. Mrs. Hedlund led the republican ticket in Oklahoma county on Tuesday, August 6th, for nomination for superintendent of public instruction and it was conceded the following Thursday that she was victorious,, having a majority of 1,000. Two other candidates, both men, in the race for the nomination, were turned down in her favor.
