FLYNN WON'T STAND FOR
REGULAR REPUBLICAN DOPE

Washington. D. c., Jan. 15.-Tbat
Oklahoma republicans are at war to
the knife and up to the hilt can be
leasily seen from the dispatches being
sent out to the newspapers in Okla
homa City owned by Dennis T. Flynn,
former delegate in congress and that
are being sent daily to none other
than Dennis T. Flynn himself.
Flynn is adding TO the gayety of ma
tions politically and is unburdening
himself of many of his innermost po-
litieal secrets
Flynn has been attacking both Con-
gresham Mcclure and Creager and
Republican State Chairman Jim Har-
ris because MCGUIRE, Creager and Har-
ris will not join in with National Com
mitteeman Cade, Flynn and Congress-
man Morgan, in backing up the en-
ldorsements for federal jobs as made
lby the Cade-Flynn combine.
by the Morgan combine.
For instance Dennis T. Flynn, the
journalist says:
y. George Wright in charge Of mat
ters for the interior department in
the Indian Territory, is here waiting
to be called as a witness in the Gore
McMurray and Hamon hearing. Wright
| is a strong man with the department
and it is said would have been ap-
pointed commission of Indian affairs
but for false statements filed against
him by two republican congressman
from Oklahoma (Creager and Nc
IGuire) just as the commission was
about to issue.
The charges were investigated and
found to be false but Mr.. Valentine
was appointed before the falsity of the
charges was ascertained.
And again:
"A new political row is about be-
gun in the fourth and fifth congress
Isional districts. The national commit
Iteeman and the state chairman are
supposed to be advisers as to the ap-
lpointments in those districts and as
there is no love between Jim Harris
and Cash Cade each seems to be en-
Idorsing different men for many post
offices.
Your correspondent, realizing that
The Times (Flynn's paper wants the
facts, refers to these matters in the
hope that the republicans throughout
the state may know just how their in
lterests are looked after here. The ad-
ministration, it is said, begins to look
upon Oklahoma as a southern Bour-
bon democratic state whose republi-
canism is based solely upon federal
patronage. Mcclure and Harris, it is
said will endorse no one that Morgan
and Cade favor, and Creager, belev-
ing that Jim Harris can give him the
Muskogee postoffice is understood to
be with him.
The lack of its quota of federal pat
tronage coming to Oklahoma is due to
the rule or ruin policy adopted by its
congressman and others holding politi-
cal offices.
Just by way of threat Flynn says:
who sent out through the mails as
a member of the republican state com
mittee the unsigned assaults on Flynn
and Cade will shortly be ascertained
by the government in its search for
abuse of the postal laws
Mr. Flynn, it is said, is contemplate
ing putting in his application as a
member of the National Press Club and
the house and senate press galleries
and in the meantime everyone is hop
ing that the cub Washington cores
pondent for the Oklahoma City Times
will send in a dispatch telling just
how it feels to have T. Roosevelt kick
one out of the white house.
There is much jealousy among the
Washington correspondents because
the youngest reporter here is said tC
! be the highest paid correspondent al
the national capital.
The Flynn News Service is creating
a sensation in newspaper circles in
that it shows the harmony that exists
between the Oklahoma republican
brethren.
