Outlines of Oklahoma,

l. The surprise this year IN woes IS going
to come from Woods county.
Oklahoma City is now IN direc. commu-
nication with ST. Louis BIZ wire.
Keaton appears on the ballot as James
r. Keaton, Flynn as Dennis T. Flynn and
/ Hankins as Arthur S. Hanxins.
The campaign in Oklahoma county has
/ got to the pitch where insults are spoken
OF as most shameful and damnaole
! Right in the midst Of the campaign the
/ editor OF the Cloud Chief Sentinel went
/ down in a heap with the chicken-pox-
! At Chandler last week a boy fell from
! the third story OF the Hoffman building
| TO the first floor and was only bruised
The Chandler News says hat Keaton
lost at the lowest estimate 20 votes by
his joint debate with Flynn a; Perkins
| A negro who has been put IN the Enid
| Jail. charged with theft, refuses 10 eat
and the authorities are concerned about
him.
W. o. Cromwell, the braiIy young
Enidian, was thrown from a buggy Sat
urday night and is very seriously in
| Jured.
During the Oklahoma street fair noted
pick-pocket was arrested He is wanted

Bones No. 3D.
About 5000 people heard the F1ynn-Kea-
ton debate at Perkins. The Perkins
Journal says II is acknowledged that
Flynn did Keston I'D.
Whitinghill and Percy Glaze OF Enid
while driving in from 4 political meeting
were upset in ditch. They a-e out OF
the campaign and pining for Red Cross
nurses.
n
Perkins. not knowing what the circulars
were, distributed around the whole town
a lot Of the Laverty pamphlets against
Keaton.
1t is unfortunate that any man should
get that way. but they say that Keatoa
is suffering from the big-head variety OF
egotism. II he IS elected they will take
that out Of him down in Washington.
A wonderful sentiment has grown up
and out among the Populists during the
campaign. It is the mental concession
to themselves that the man who would
be the greatest service TO tie free homes
measure is Dennis Flynn.
On March IL. 1898. Callahan wrote law
erty: ''Of course. you have seen the fate
of the free homes bill long ere this reach
es you. Twenty-Five Democrats and one
Populist. Howard of Alabama, votcG
could have carried the measure by a Dig
majority
The thing that paralyzed Keaton at Per
kins was when Flynn demanded Of Kea-
ton TO know which county ticket he was
supporting in Payne county. the Populis'
or Democratic ticket. Keaton couldn't
answer. A good politician would have
taken one or the other horn OF the d.
lemma and made an effort to save him
self. Now Keaton has both sides mad
at him.
