DARK FOR FLYNN.
His Chances for the Oklahoma Govern
ernorshIp Not BrIeht-LeIsnd-cIsy-
ton Combine In Control Now.

Washington, March 2S.-The
nomination of the three Okla
homa land office officials on
Friday undoubtedly indicates
an anti-Flynn victory, and was
/ worked by a combination in
which Cy Leland of Kansas
and Powell Clayton of Arkan-
sas were the main factors. Clay
ton has expressed himself with
the utmost confidence of his
ability TO name the governor,
and of course will designate G..
NJ. Barnes.
At the same time he is not
disposed to trample ruthlessly
on Flynn's PROSTATE body. rs
he assured one of the leading
Western politicians today, and
declares that his opposition is
not based upon any resentment
ne entertains for the late dele
gate from Oklahoma, but alto
gether upon circumstances
which he claims compel him to
cross his gubernatorial aspira-
tions. He recognizes Flynn's
remarkable strength with the
rank and file of the Oklahoma
republicans and his great SER
vice to the Territory during his
two terms in congress, and
readily comedies that good poll
ties dictates conciliatory
course which will retain Flynn's
influence in the right channel.
From the tenor of Clayton's
talk today, it is evident that
the president has thrown out
a strong hint that Flynn must
be conciliated, and the inten-
ton, apparently is to take care
of him. Whether it will be the
governorship remains to be
/ guessed at. Clayton says the
governorship is for Barnes, but
that Flynn is to be provided
for with a place on the Dawes
commission or something equal.
~ good that he will accept
Flynn's Endorsements for the
governorship are gilt-edged,
and it is hard to see how the
president Is going to overcome
the recommendation of above
go Republican members of the
last congress, the St. Louis del
egates and 30 per cent of the
Oklahoma Republican newspa
pers. He is more determinedly
/ in the fight than ever. and it j:
doubtful if he would compro
mise OH any position that would
/ take his personality out of tn,
) territory.

his country seat at Pearl Harbor
and, after getting down there, had
some trouble in getting her into
the paddock. The doctor was too
plucky to give in to any quad
ruped, but, before he conquered
bovine recalciirancy, received
supdry scars on his hands, which
today serve for birthday decora
tions.
This is the seventy fifth ami
versary of the genial doctors birth,
and h comes hale and hearty to
hts three quarters of century.
DIR McGrew's permanent residence
