OKLAHOMA FOR M'KINLEY.
But a Strong Fight win Be Made To-
day Against Instructions.

But q Strong Fight win Be Made To-
day Against Instructions.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok. March est
is expected that the Oklahoma Repub-
llcans will have a breezy time when
they meet here to-day in convention
for the election of six delegates to the
national convention. The sentiment
for Mckinley in Oklohoma is as pro-
nounced as it is in Kansas. and the del
egates chosen likely will be Mckinley
men, but there is a strong element
which is opposed to instruction. The
leaders of this faction claim that it
would be to Oklahonas interests to
remain neutral in the coming contest.
They argue that a declaration for a
particular candidate at this time
would imperil the free home" bill,
interfere with the Statehood plan and
otherwise work injury to the Terri
tory.
