HEG|RA HAS SET N
To the Republican Territorial
Convention at Enid.
SOME CONTESTS FORECAST
County Convention Reports,
With Delegate Lists.
SOME CONTESTS FORECAST

Guthrie, o. T., May S.-The hegira to-
ward Enid has already set in, although
the republican convention. which is the
occasion of this activity, viii not con-
vene until Thursday morning. Governor
Barnes, Harper S. Cunningham and Henry
E. Asp. who are delegates from Logan
county, left this evening by way of Wich-
ita, and Joe AcNeaI. who is going to
make the crowning fight Of his political
career to go to Philadelphia as a national
delegate, will leave tomorrow. From the
keen interest being displayed it is mani
fest that the convention VIII be the most
largely attended of any in the history of
the territory.
Much speculation exists as TO the prob
able outcome of the convention. 1t is
certain, though, that Dennis Flynn, IN
less he Indicates a desire to the con-
trary, will be placed at the head Of the
delegation to the Philadelphia convention
by reclamation.
A determined effort IS expected to be
made TO precipitate a fight in the conven-
ton by refusing to endorse the territorial
administration, but this win be met with
an equally determined movement to close
up The old time factions and restore the
party into harmonious lines. Even Ok
lahoma county, which has consistently in
the past been lined up against Logan
county, has manifested a disposition TO
join hands and circle TO the left, as Jake
Admire would say. 1t is also among the
probabilities that the question of select
ing federal officials as national delegates
will create a ripple Of excitement, but
United States Marshal Henry Thompson,
who has openly proclaimed his ambition
in that direction, seems to have his forces
well in hand, and unless out-generalled
"a very unlikely contingency, he will
realize his desire. The same conditions
may be said to apply to Grimes candi-
dacy for national committeeman; in fact,
from the returns at hand he would seem
TO occupy even q more advantageous po-
sition than Thompson, for he has several
instructed delegations, which Thompson
tailedt secure.

county's choice for national delegate.
Each Of them was said TO be Identified

of making final proof allowed settlers in
the Sac and Fox reservation, Delegate D.
T. Flynn addressed letter TO the com
missioner OF the general land office con-
corning this matter and received the fol-
lowing reply:
Hon. D. T. Flynn, House of Representa-
tives:
'tSir: 7 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of April q, in
which you state that settlers on the Sac
and Fox lands write YOU that the local
land office has notified them that they
must prove up on July l, and you ask
to be advised as to the law in the mat
ter.
in reply, have to advise you that it
is held at this office that a party who
made a homestead entry Of coded Indian
land prior to July &C. 1894, is allowed ten
years from date of entry within which
to submit proof and make payment.

tended for one year the time within

No extension of time is granted persons
whose entries were made subsequent to
July 26, 1894. Very respectfully,
