FLYNN At IECOASEH
Addresses the Largest Meet
ing Ever Held There
ENTHUSIASM WAS FERVlD
Pottawatomie County Is
Counted for Flynn.
ENTHUSIASM WAS FERVID

Guthrie. o. T., Sept. A.-Dennis T.
Flynn came home Saturday night from a
campaign tour of Cleveland and Potta-
watomie counties and left yesterday for
Kingfsher, where he has speaking dates
this week. Describing the meeting at
Tecumseh, where Flynn spoke Saturday,
a dispatch says:
The largest political gathering ever as
sembled ih-the city was that which greet
ed Dennis Flynn at the court house this
afternoon. Long before the meeting hour
the people began focking to the temple
Of justice and when the hour for the
speaking arrived the house was packed
like sardines in a box. 1t was q good
natured crowd and they stood quietly
through the speaking, frequently break
ing into enthusiastic applause at the
salient points made by the speaker. Dele
gate Flynn was in great form and he
held the attention of the vast audience
throughout the whole meeting. When
ever Mr.. Flynn would pause for a mo-
ment there would be cries of go on"
give US MORE and when he closed the
large audience broke forth in a very
whirlwind of applause.
1T was truly a great meeting, every
body hurrahing for Flynn and free homes.
Even the Populists and Democrats were
shouting for the Little Giant and say
Ing Flynn saved our homes and now
nothing is too good for US to do for him.
1T is estimated by careful and conser-
vative men who have been over the
grounds and who have made a study of
the situation in all of its bearings that
the great Democratic stronghold, Potta-
watomie county, can be counted upon to
give a handsome majority for Dennis
Flynn and the Republican county ticket.
So great has been the change in senti-
ment that the old-time Democrats and
Populists are thinking how did this all
come about, and there are numbers of
them going to change this fall and vote
for the party that fuliiIls its promises
and keeps faith with the people,
Keep the liver and kidneys in order.

lot, when there will be a general switch
to Filter. Gregory Ritt was discarded as
factor in the treasurership fight early
In the game. There will be no opposition
10 the denomination of Comptroller Nc
CaTdy.
AT o'clock this morning the situation
was decidedly mixed, and the convention
today promises to be one Of the most ex-
citing and bitter ever held by the Repub-
licans in the city. Kiefer Is certainly
done for, and after numerous conferences
between the Kiefer, Reeves and Smith
1leutenants 1t was decided, or rather
promises were made that there would be
a combination OF the field against Schiff-
mann. The only trouble about the pro-
posed combination was that each Of the
three candidates had it figured out that
he was stroAS enough to win out, and
consequently the promises to stand by
each other were made with particularly
long strings 10 them. Shiffmann kept at
work saving wood, and was not invited
to any Of the conferences, but he claimed
to have delegates enough to land the nom
ination on the first ballot
There was some talk of a dark horse
and Assemblyman Albrecht, c. K Sha-
rood, Bernard Zimmerman and County
Auditor johnson were being touted as
possibilities.
The Seventh ward caucused at the AL
blon early in the evening and declared
forty-four for Smith and one for Sehiff-
mann The one lone delegate was Gen
Eli Warner. The Schiffmann delegates
were beaten in the Seventh ward two to
one.
The mayoralty fight completely over
shadowed everything else, and not much
attention was paid to the other offices.
Nelson seems to have 1t cinchad, but Au-
gust Filter, of the Sixth ward, claimed

Puerto Rico to meet an uncertain ques-
ton as to something else"
The next argument advanced to sup
port the tariff. he said. was the protection
the Is per cent would afford to our prod
ucts and labor. He ridicued such prop
osition, as no protectionist would contend
that 15 per cent of the Dingley rates would
afford adequate protection for anything.
Adverting again to the Philippines as
factor in the Puerto Rican problem Mr..
Davis said:
when we come to deal with the Philip
pine question we will take care Of It, Puer-
to Rico is little more than 700 miles from
our coast: the Philippines 5000. The island
of Puerto Rico is naturally part of the
North American jurisdiction; the Philip
pines are a part of the domain of Asia
Against the product and people of the
Philippines, when the time comes, the
rights of American labor will be protected
by any party that may be in power"
In conclusion he said:
what I say, I say with the unater-
able conviction that I am right-right
politically and right economically. In my
Judgment the only course for us is TO
abandon the pernicious mockery of q
tariff between Puerto Rico and the United
States and return to the pathway of plain
duy."
