A special from Washington 10 the Guthrie
Capital says: The marshalship contest has
been transferred from the department OF
justice to the White House. Long before
the hour when the president receives public
men, Senators Gear and Baker arrived with
ately into the presidents private office,
where long cnversation followed. Senator
Gear informed Mckinley that he came TO
request the appointment OF Or
put as marshal. II was the wish of Senator
Allison. who has taken great interest in this
case, as well as the western Republican
senator's generally, and he hoped the ap-
po:ntment would be made. Senator Ba-
ker also indorsed Orput's candidacy strong
ly, while few moments later Senators Gull
lom and Mason called on the same mis-
sion. The president did not intimate who |
be would appoint but said he would dis |
pose of the case in a few days. Shortly |
after Orputs friends had departed, Dennis |
Flynn arrived at the White House. accom- |
panied by Ed Kelley. He saw the presi- |
dent only a few minutes. but received as
surances that he would be consulted before |
the appointment was made. although the !
president intimated that he thought Kel- /
ey's candidacy had been launched too late. |
DeFord then entered alone, but Mckinley |
VAS so pressed with callers he received but
slight recognition. 1t now looks though |
Orput will surely be appointed unless Flynn
should throw his strength to DeFord, which
S not at all probable. as Flynn prefers Or
put 10 DeFord.
