Dennis Majority May Climb
Before it Stops,

Now in Doubt, There Is 1923
Against Him.


mis- Flynns majority for delegate in con-
gress continues TO grow apace as addi-
tional returns are received from over the
territory. and it will not be a matter OF
surprise If his majority reaches 5000 when
all the returns are in. The count is pro-
ceeding slowly in some Of the counties
and from the remote southwest counties,
including Greer, not word mas been
received, except from Custer. which sent
word of $50 majority for Flynn. exceed
ing it's record of two years ago by 166.
The returns are also slow in coming from
Big Woods, but in six precincts where
the count has been completed Flynn
leads by 800 votes. II the percentage of
gain maintains he will carry the county
by 100, but to keep within the bounds
of conservatism the Republican commit
tee is claiming the county by only Go
majority The counties in which, count
IS practically completed, and their re-
spective majorities for Flynn, are as fol-
lows: Canadian 20, Noble 697, Custer

he certainly has, 20 which may be added
the estimated majority Of 500 in Woods
county. 800 in Blaine, 100 in Beaver and
100 in Payne which makes his total major
ity 1873 While by no means conceding
them to him, still granting that Keaton
viii carry all the counties not yet heard
from-Pottaawatomie, Greer, Day, D and
Washlta-1,1 100 would be an extremely lib
eral majority TO allow him in those coun-
ties. so that Flynn's majority may be
safely placed at 700.
One OF the gratifying results Of the
election is the unqualified endorsement Of
the administration, shown by the re-
turn of a Republican legislature. In
every district the territorial administra-
tion was made the target of abuse and
