Guthrie. o. T., Nov. 1.-(Special)-
e. 7. Hainer arrived home last night
from Washington. where ne mas been a
sojourner for the last seven weeks. push
ing his candidacy for judicial honors.
and he returns filed with sublime con-
fideace that before the Christmas snow
fies he viii De occupying Judge Keaton's
warm place in the Third judicial dis
trict. Il wac expected that Mr. Hainsr
would remain in Washington until an
appointment was made. but having re-
oeived assurances from powerful friends
near the presidential throne that his in
tereEts in Washington would be care
fully looked after, ne resolved to return
to his Guthrie home. where his private
and Official business demanded his per-
sonal attention. Mr.. Hainer enjoyed
pleasant relations at the White House
through the presidents friendship for
his brother, Congressman Hainer. and II
wss the potency OF this friendship that
secured for the young and aspiring city
attorney of Guthrie a warm welcome
within the portals OF the presidents
home at Canton during the days prior
to the Inauguration. followed by a let
ter OF introduction to the mighty Mark
Hanna.
Besides these influences Mr.. Hainer
enjoys the warm and devoted friendship
OF Mr.. Webster Davis. with whom he
struggled through several years OF life
acquiring an education. Davis did no,
forget the companion OF his college days
and 1t was ne who exerted his powerful
influence 10 stop the incipient warfare
begun on Hainer a month ago. and ne

ington.
Regarding his own appointment. Mr..
Hainer regards IT as absolutely certain
and that It will be made soon after the
presidents return to Washington next
Saturday. AS 70 the contemplated
clean sweep OF the Judiciary reported
from Washington, he is inclined to be
somewhat skept.cal, and even hinte
that there may be no more changes
made on the territorial bench until the
present occupants have served out their
terms.
Regarding the chances Of the other
aspirants for judicial honors. Mr.. Hahn
er was absolutely close-mouthed and
would express no opinion either way.
TIE appointment of Thompson. he says.
Is absolutely certain, and will be an
nounced Immediately after the presi-
dents return.
Mr.. Hainer laughs at the suggestion
that Governor Barnes is persona non
grata with the president. The rumors
to that effect originated from the 'curb-
stone gossip as prevalent about the
Washington hotels and nave no founda-
ton whatever. He insists that it was
the governors telegram to Attorney
General Cunningham which was shown
10 the president that settled the matter
Of Thompson's appointment.
During his stay in Washington Mr..
Hainer appeared before the secretary
OF the interior TO argue several townsite
contests in which the city Of Guthrie
was interested. and had the satisfaction
Of having every case decided in favor OF
the city.
