Hon. Ben Hogan Considers Mrs. Leases
Candidacy Joke.
Hon. Ben Hogan, q prominent Re-
publican politician OF Kansas, who was
in Los Angeles yesterday, AYERS that
"Kansas is all tore up" and further
that "the Republicans OF Kansas are
unqualifedly blue" Mr.. Hogan was
himself a candidate at the late election,
having been the , oninee of his party
for state senator { ON Republic county,
and when discussing that fact and the
attending results, unheeitatingly ad-
mitted that he too was somewhat sore.
Discussing Mrs. Lease as probable
candidate for United States senator
from Kansas, Mr.. Hogan said: "rhe
people of Kansas laugh over the propo-
sition. As a matter of fact, the story
was @ straight fake, emanating from tho
versatile pen OF a well-known space
writer OF Topeka, from whose story the
Associated Press ut Kansas City copied il.
In the first place, Mrs. Lease is heartily
despised by large element OF the peo.
ple's party, and only tolerated by the
balance because OF her sex. Again, she
was born in Ireland and has never been
naturalized.
"The referendum of Switzerland
which Mrs. Lease has been advocating
the copying Of by Kansas could not be
adopted without constitutional con-
vention."
Mr.. Hogan relates an interesting
fact in connection with the early life OF
Delegate elect Dennis Flynn of Okla
homa. Flynn when a broth of boy,
not long in America and the son of poor
parents, went to the city of Buffalo from
his country home to seek work. Three
days were spent unsucce ssiully and when
the youth was despairing he .iaiiddly en-
tsred the door of an office before which
the swinging tin sign read "Grover
Cleveland, attorney.at. law" Accosting
the good.natured, happy faced occupant.
he was informed that the boss was
in and was then addressing
himself to his youthful visitor.
Flynn stated his case. The result
was Dennis Flynn was the cognomen OF
Grover Cleveland's office boy from that
day on for several years, developing
later into an unlicensed student in con-
nection with his other duties. With
the money saved while with Mr.. Clsve-
land Young Flynn finished in high
school course, reading law assiduously
| meanwhile. w men MS course OF etuQle6
were through Flynn came to Kansas,
soon locating in Kiowa county. Law
yers were not in much demand, but the
people there wanted newspaper, and
Flynn grasped the opportunity, ac-
cepted the bonus offered-enough to
buy small Office and start HIM in
business. Flynn edited a very credit
able paper, doomed the county and
surprised his friends by his
bright wit and ready debate during a
local political campaign. Later during
state campaign his duties were sought
for, and he made quite a name as an
orator. When Oklahoma was thrown
open to settlement, Dennis Flynn, with
many others, risked their future there.
Flynn was appointed postmaster at
Guthrie, the capital, by Mr.. Harrison,
and still holds his job.
Mr.. Flynn has never met Grover
Cleveland since he left Buffalo, but
although a Republican and stranger TO
Washington, believes he will have one
personal friend at the capitol.
