) Guthrie, o. =, Feb. Ii Especial =
A sLeciu from " ashing;on says: The
Populist senators, headed by Senator
PETER, are Disposed to defeat the con-
hrmation Of Pat Maggie for United
States marshal OF Oklahoma. The
nomination of Mr.. Nagle was reached
IN the senate executive session Tues
day and Chairman Hoar, of the judi
ciary committee, announced that the
committee had Looked up the record Of
Mr. Maggie and the charges that had
been filed against him and also had
conferred with the attorney general
Mr. Harmon had stated that Maggie
was recommended very highly by a
minister now residing in Washington
but who al one time was located at
kinghsher. The attorney general had
urged the confirmation, and under all
the circums stances the committee had
concluded to report it favorably and
ask confirmation.
Nj PETER read a letter he had re-
ceived from q prominent Populist in
Oklahoma IN which some very ugly and
discreditable statements were made
about Maggie. He also said he had
other letters from prominent men in
oklahoma asking that the nomination
be rejected. He was compelled to ask
the senate to defer action until more
time could be utilized in securing infor-
nation. The Maggie case came up
again today, and went over on request
of PETER and Allen. II is being in
sisted by Nagle's friends here that an
effort IS being made by the Populist
leaders in Oklahoma to work up some
politics over the situation and falling
TO reach an understanding with Maggie
about political matters, seek to defeat
his confirmation. 1t is still believed
that Maggie viii be confirmed, no mat
ter what becomes of the political
schemes originating in Oklahoma.
