The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1900-08-27

should be led to ignore and slight The
national administration and to refuse an
endorsement Of an honest and econom cal
territorial administration ana the laws IN
acted by a legislature republican in bath
its branches.
II confess to n feeling of humiliation
and Indignation, and insist that the re-
sponsibility therefor belongs to Mr.. Tlyun
and those who following his lead would
rather defame and besmirch other repub-
licans whom they fear, than to share rhe
glories Of success with any one.
Much interesting reading might be
written in regard to the course Of Mr.
Flynn since he was defeated for the Of
flee OF governor but the sole purpose OF
my statement at this time is to tell the
truth in regard to my position on the
question of resolutions and to expose wnat
believe to have been a willful and mali
cious misrepresentation Of the same re
fore the committee. 1t is gratifying o
note that a majority Of our county cNn-
ventions passed republican resolutions Of
endorsement of both national and terri
torial administrations, which is sure
indication of the sentiment of the people,
and the evident attempt to throttle that
sentiment in the territorial convention in
the interest of factional local quarrel,
will sooner or later be properly rebul,cd
by the people
"I am n republican and shall remain
republican, fighting within the party for
honest methods and policies and lighting
with the party for the supremacy of re-
publican principles and the best welfare
of the people
'I have been asked If would contribute
to the republican territorial campaign
fund, to which I reply:
81 was chairman of the first republican
meeting in the territory and OF the COM
mittee that organized the party. have
supported the nominee Of our party for
delegate to congress in every campaign We
have had by speech and by contributing,
and probably would do so NV, II be-
lieved the republican party in serious dun
ger of defeat. I have always paid r1y
own expenses and rever received n liar
from any committee. But on the vlat-
form of gratitude and statehood backed
as it is by a national and territorial sG-
ministration of public affairs that has
won the regard and approval of the peo-
pie. and with the tide of pros peri.y IN
full flow all over our country as result
Of wise and beneficent laws and sdminis-
tration, I do not believe it necessary to
contribute funds to the territorial cam
paign. The alleged whirlwind of gra--
itude claimed for our candidate for dele
gate to congress may ably be as
sumed to be sufficient to elect Mr. Flynn
without effort upon the cart Of L CON-
mttee. The party has paid Mr.. Flynn's
campaign expenses four or five times to
which I have heretofore cheerruily con-
tributed. More than that he admits that
he has made more money in the last few
years tran the president OF the Guthrie
National bank, and that being true he
can better afford to pay his own expenses
than we can to pay them for him. Besides
this there is danger of losing the legis a.
ture and some of the county tickets that |
with some effort can be saved to repub- |
lican candidates, and think some ae'p |
will be needed in some of the close ais
tricts and counties 4 will therefore, M
tribute my mite in that direction, or 10 |
the national committee for use in states
where extra hard work will have to be |
done in behalf of the national ticket; he
cause in my humble judgment the hest |
welfare and highest interest of Okllh) ma |
and her people and the success of the re-
publican party in the territory, are oe-
pendant upon the election of the national |
republican ticket and of a republican |
legislature and republican county officers. |
However, I will be at home IN time to
consult with yourself and other friends !
as to where our aid will most be reeded."
