FLYNN WON'T STAND FOR
REGULAR REPUBLICAN DOPE

washington, ~. u, Jan. l5.-IDat
Oklahoma republicans are at war TO
the knife and up to the hilt can be
easily 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-
litical secrets.
Flynn has been attacking both Con.
gressman MCGUIRE 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-
dorsements for federal jobs as made
by the Cade-Flynn combine.
by the Flynn Morgan combine.
For instance Dennis T. Flynn, the
journalist says;
-. George Wright in charge of mat
ters for the interior department in
the Indian Territory, is here waiting
to be called as witness in the Gore.
McMurray and Hamon hearing. Wright
is 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
sional districts. The national commit
teeman and the state chairman are
supposed to be advisers as to the ap
pointments in those districts and as
there is no love between Jim Harris
and Cash Cade each seems to be en-
dorsing different men for many post
offices.

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. MCGUIRE and Harris, it is
said will endorse no one that Morgan
and Cade favor, and Creager, believ
ing that Jim Harris can give him the
Muskogee postoffice is understood tc
be with him.
The lack of its quota of federal pat
ronage coming to Oklahoma is due tc
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
member of the republican state com
mittee the unsigned assaults on Flynn
and Cade will shortly be ascertaineC
by the government in its search fol-
abuse of the postal laws.
Mr. Flynn. it is said, is contemplat
ing putting in his application as {
member of the National Press Club anC
the house and senate press gallerie:
and in the meantime everyone is hop
ling that the cub Washington cores
lpondent for the Oklahoma City Times
will send in a dispatch telling jus
how it feels to have T. Roosevelt kicl
one out of the white house.
There is much jealousy among th'
Washington correspondents because
the youngest reporter here is said t
