WILL MAKE
FINAL APPEAL
TO FLYNN
Friends to Hold Conference
With Him This Week.
THEY WILL NOT TAKE mo"
Insist That He Shall Remain
on the Track.

Guthrie. O T. March Delegate D. T
Flynn is expected 10 arrive in Oklahoma
this week. possibly tomorrow. His visit
IS fraught with Interest more than ordi-
nary because it is believed that his friends
are going to bring al forces TO bear on
him to make him reconsider his deter
rnination not 10 run for congress this fan.
The Democratic papers of the territory
have been claiming out that Delegate
Flynn intends TO run again and his de-
clination, as recently published. was
merely for the purpose of finding out how
public sentiment stood. As a matter OF
fact Flynn wrote several friends saying
plainly that he would not ran again and
authorizing them TO publish the statement
over his name. The friends refused to
publish such statement, believing that
after a conference with him they can per
suade him to remain on the track.
They intend to have q conference with
him this week. Everybody who has any
information on the subject at an under
stands that Mr.. Flynn is teeth and toenau
personally against making another race.
During the last year he has said so re-
peatedly TO friends in conversation.
Curiously, the Democratic papers which
charge Flynn with insincerity ia his de
cHnauon. are very careful not to say
anything TO induce him 10 be a candidate
again. Not a single Democratic paper in
the territory has thrown out the chal-
lenge that the reason he desires to get
out of the race is because he is afraid of
defeat
orTff % IN
knows that very few allegations of this
sort might bring FLYNN back into the race
in hurry And the Democratic poIiti-
clans of the territory do not want Flynn
In the race. They know that he cannot
be beaten in the territory. Their hope is
that he is really out of the race and that
he win stay out. Part OF the idea in
charging him with insincerity in declin-
ing is the desire on the part of the Demo-
Gratis to have him demonstrate 10 the peo-
pie that the Democrats are wrong in their
charges and so get rid of him as a caDdi-
date
on the other hands the Republican pa
pers Of the territory are a unit for FIynns

A Severe Blow to Converse College.

Spartanburg, January 23.-Dr. B. f.
Wilson has resigned his position as
president of Converse College. His
resignation will take effect after the
present scholastic year. The board of
trustees have, as yet, taken no definite
steps to secure successor. DR.. Wilson,
at the end of the session in June noxt,
will sever his connection with the college,
and will go abroad to tho European uni
versities and take a course Of a year or
more in special studies, pursuing the
branches of history and philosophy.
During his administration of 12 years
(the total length of time of the existence
of Converse College) DR.. Wilson has been
the institutions president and executive
manager. He has labored we'll, and not
without results. His individuality, good
judgment and scholarly attanments
have dominated his every step in his
honest and honorable endeavors to
establish hero ali institution for the
education of young women of whom the
whole Southland can woii be proud.
During the twelve years of his admins
tration, there has never been dissent
ing vote among the board of trustees in
meeting or elsewhere, and during the
same period there has never been the
slightest misunderstanding between the
management and any member of tho
board of trustees.
