pondent shows how Flynn sassed Mckinley:
Dennis Flynn was at the White House
again this morning to consult with the
president about the Oklahoma marshaiship.
The president stated frankly that it was
useless for him to urge the appointment OF
either Grimes or Kelley. as he had decided
to appoint either DeFord or Orput "Wen,"
said Flynn, IF that is the case. hope you
will carefully consider the claims OF these
two gentlemen before you take final action.
Mr.. President, We have had one of the
finest Republican organizations in Oklaho-
ma that has ever been known :n a wastern
state. You have il within your power 10
help up perfect that organization and keep
IL intact, but IL territorial appointments are
to be controlled by gentlemen living IN
other states then We VIII be compelled to
do the best We can with the public dissatis-
faction, local party success will be retarded
and faith in the justice OF the administra-
ton broken. Grimes is chairman of the
party organization. He has the endorse
ment OF the best Republicans of Oklahoma.
Neither DeFord or Orput has one-eighth
the local endorsement Grimes has. But be-
tween DeFord and Orput, endorse Orput.
and since the fight has narrowed to these
two. / ask that Orput be appointed. You
have already given two appointments on
the Santa Fe and the marshalsh!p and dis
trict attorney should go over on the Rock
Island. This would only be fair and the
people of Oklahoma expect you to treat
them fairly" President Mckinley listened
attentively 10 Flynn's statement and then
said: II will consider carefully what you
have SAID before / send in the nomina-
tion."
