shows HON the Republican tidal wave
is going to overwhelm the fusion forces
in November The Capital says: Moth
ing but encouraging statements are re-
ceived from all portions of Oklahoma at
the Territorial Republican headquarters
and those in charge are greatly pleased
with the satisfactory conditions. Never
before in any territorial campaign have
we experienced such general encour-

visit this section and give US a speech,
but he is going to carry this township
anyhow and send him if you can -
In letter received from Mangum the
writer, a prominent Republican, says:
There are no voters in this county, so

who supported Flynn in 1898 who will not

lows out there advertise a joint meeting
between Flynn and Callahan and the
whole country turned out Of course
when Flynn did not show up, Mackev
took the chance to give the impression
that Flynn was afraid to come
The truth about the matter is that Mr..
Flynn was not scheduled to speak at
Walnut Grove on the date mentioned on
Mackeys bills, nor did he or the terri
torial committee know Of the meeting
until apprised Of it yesterday The
scheme was worked by the Democrats to
injure Flynn and it is understood that
the methods are to be adopted in various
portions OF the territory.
