leave for Canton tomorrow and will
return to the White House about No
vember 6, when he will take up the
Oklahoma appointments and dispose Of
them.
The president has been very much
annoyed by the scAndalous auarrels
among the Oklahoma politicians over
the offices. The fight between Baruer
and Flynn was particularly offensive
to him, and, as rebuke 10 both, he
refused to consider the claims OF theis
respective candidates for the marshal
ship. The result was the selection Of
Thompson for the place, Another re-
suit OF this quarrel is the disappear.
ance OF Flynn from view as & factor in

dislifes guerilla methods in politics.
The hope is expressed in administra.
tion circles that the Oklahoma politi-
clans, profiting by the fate OF FLYNN
and the outcome of the marshalship
fight, will cease their chickering's and
get together. The presidents tArdi-
ness In making appointments FOR the
territory has been on account OF quar-
rels among the politicians who are
supposed TO be in position to advise
him. SO far every applicant for a
position has been assailed from one
