L. M. Baughman a Wilson Booster.

A letter from IT. M. Ijaughman of Oklahoma City, Okla., formerly of Renselaer and former democratic county chairman here, in renewing his subscription for T&e Democrat, says, among other things: . “Our State Convention has been tjse center of interest here for the past titffee days," and it' has been one of the most hotly contested political scraps that I have ever, witnessed. The convention was in session most or the day yesterday, and until three o’clock this morning. The Willson adherents are somewhat in the majority, but as a compromise pleasure it lias been decided to spilt the delegation and give Clark one-half of the twenty votes in the National Convention, with the understanding that each side stay with their favorite so long as he Is in the race, and then to support the choice of the other hali'. “I early cast my Hot with the Wilson crowd, and feel that he is the most available candidate we have. The Oklahoma republicans are strong for Roosevelt, and have no use for Taft, who queered himself with the people of this State when he opposed Statehood, and they are slow to forgive for such an offense. “Trusting this may reach you in due time, and that you will continue to prosper in your new office, I beg to remain as ever,” etc.
