THREE MEN
WHO WANT
THE PLACE
FIynn's Friends Will Push Him
for National Committeeman
ALSO ASP AND CADE
Each Have Supporters in a
Very Strenuous" Fight

Guthrie. o. T, April 25.-lt now appers
that the contest for national committee
man for Oklahoma viii be on the 'streh-
GUS order and il promises to De one VI
the most interesting events IN the re
nuhlican party OF the territory for months
10 come. Three persons have been men
TONED for committeeman. These are
well known men Of Oklahoma. Cash NJ
Cade, of Shawnee. Henry Z. Asp or thls
CITY and Ex-Delegate Dennis i. Flyhh.
A boom for Mr.. Cade was started sew
eral weeks ago and there has been much
favorable comment He is not saying
much about the matter, but his friends
insist that he be a candidate and they
are willing to push him to the front In
the contrst.
Close friends of Ex-Delegate Dennis T.
Flvnn have mentioned him for national
committeeman, and in fact. an effort Will
be made TO have him enter the contest
IT IS not known what he will think of
the matter as he has been in washington
and nothing has been heard Of him since
the committeeman talk came up. There
are those friendly to Mr.. Flynn who do
not believe it advisable for him to become
candidate for committeeman, as there
would be nothing in it for him after hav-
ing served several terms in congress- ana
besides it might injure his chances for
political preferment in the future.
Mr.. Asp has been connected with the
committeeman matter. although he has
had nothing TO say about the matter pub
IT,. szt ono limo
and his friends believe that he should be
committeeman again.
William Grimes is the present national
committeeman and il is not known
whether he viii be a candidate for the
place again or not. If Mr.. Flynn would
consent TO become a candidate, Mr..
Grimes would certainly stay out of the
race. In connection with the matter, il
has been questioned whether Mr.. Crime
being secretary of Oklahoma could hold
the position OF national committeeman
under the Roosevelt order of affairs In
certain states the man holding Office had
to give up such positions and it is not
known whether this viii apply to Okla
homa Mr. Grimes has many friends who
would work for him for committeeman
should he desire 1t again. However the
Roosevelt matter will have some bearing
IN his case.
In all events the contest for committee
man will be of extraordinary interest.
Already men have been talking about
candidates for delegate to the next ma
tional convention. There are many men
who would like very much to go TO this
convention, but have not as yet an
nounced themselves publicly. There is
plenty OF tome for announcements how
ever. and it is presumed that there will
be plenty of candi lates

OFFICE IN GOOD HANDS.
Free Delivery Earned but Failed TO
Get II So Far.

Guthrie. o. T. April 25.-The kinghsher
Times speaks of the local postof1ce very
kindly as follows:
The business of the postoffice at KING
fisher shows a very healthy growth Tor
the first. quarter of 1903 over the same
period in preceding years.
The sale of stamps for the past fiscal
wear was sufficient to insure Us free de-
Hvery in the city, but for some unknown
cause the question has not been acteo
upon by the department, although the
postofice inspector was here, looked over
the ground and made his report.
The business of the office is in good
hands. The force are competent and obiig-
ing to patrons of the office, and at no
time in the past has the office been under
better regulations than now.

The editor had the inside OF his house
finished up this week. That house was
begun in September. 1901. and we have
been building a little at time as We

small hive for the size CT the swarm. and
some day we may move an amendment,

Hickam of Perkins, editor of the Perkins
Journal who represented his district in
the territorial council, is writing editorial
paragraphs based upon Official knowl-
edge gained while a legislator. A few OF
the paragraphs are as follows:
Do your duty and you make enemies.
The man who is afraid TO trust the peo-
pie has some scheme that he is trying 10
foist upon the public for his own selfish
interests
Among the good things the seventh Leg
islature did was to pass law providing
for working short term convicts on the
public roads.
Some men are to be loved for the enc
mics they have made.
We believe in an official whose honesty
is known without label.
A political boss opposes men VINO nave
the ability to become too big for them
In public office the people want men Oh
