Youth support helps Democrat Jones win Tulsa contest
James R. Jones, a 33 year old Democrat and former White House aide, defeated James Hengley, the Tulsa mayor, by about 18 000 votes. Jones credited strong youth turnout and a volunteer corps of roughly 3 500, saying youth support was likely the major factor in the margin. Mayoral race details, district shifts, and polling notes accompany the statewide Oklahoma results.
