CLANS
COMING
Republican Politicians Pushing
In to Attend the Flynn
Tea Party.

Delegates to the Republican terri
torial convention to be beld in this
city tomorrow, are arriving on all
trains from all parts of the territory.
Men who haven't visited Guthrie since
the Third legislative assemblies are
coming back to renew acquaintances
From present indications the conven-
tion will be unusually large and per-
haps the most representative of any
ever held in the territory. And this
Is strange, too, considering the fact
that the convention has nothing TO do
save ratify unwritten work.
There scarcely any caucussing in
progress.
This is a queer 60" remarked
delegate this morning, I'VE delegates
have little to do. There is nothing 10
fight about. This is Mr.. Flynn's con-
vention. he will name the temporary
and permanent organization
just who will place Flynn in nomi-
nation has not yet been determined.
but it will likely be Cherokee Strip
convention in which he viii be unani-
mously nominated, the Barnes admin
istratlon will have nothing to say.
OF course, the administration has bcen
working up the endorsement idea and
the western delegates are, for the
most, in favor of endorsing the'admin-
istration. 1t will be necessary for Mr..
Flynn to amass a large campaign fund
this year, and, of course he Gao expect
little faancial support from the gov
ernor's officials If they are ignored.
Therefore it is believed Flynn Will
consent to a mild endorsement of tue
administration official acts. Charlie
Filson's victory in Logan county
proves, however, that the adminisJra-
tion is not idle. In case of fight on
the report of the res olutions committee
the administration will SHOW consider
able strength, desp pite the fact that it
is Mr.. Flynn's own soiree.
Those Republicans who are never
happy except when fighting are dis
gusted with the "app alling unanimity
of the whole thing, al are busy seek
ing trouble to drown their sorrow.
An effert will be made by the Flynn
people to land Joe McNeal as territor-
ial chairman. The administration is
opposed to McNeal and it is possible
that hot fight may come up on this
proposition.
A few days since Delegate Flynn
called on Gov. Barne".
What do you want, governor"
cheerfujly asked Mr.. Flynn.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, Den
mis-, ," replied the governor. ut is your
convention and have nothing to ask
