WEBSTER DAVIS IN HIS GUTHRIE SPEEEH.
"Let me tell you something: In the year ;ind a half that I
have been there, 1 hay*', not seen the representative for Ok-
lahoma. Callahan, once in my office. (Applause. ) Now thai is
honest. I am telling you the truth. But you turned down
a man here two years ago, that on his own expense has wor-
ried the life out of me working all the time for the interest
of the people of Oklahoma and that man is Dennis Flynn.
Give him power, so he can go on the iioor of congress and
demand things for Oklahoma. Why, he made a good record
daring the four years he was there. He was instrumental
in having forty-tive bills become laws of this country: he did
not have a voteeithor. There been a member of coil?
gress in any staie in t.iie Union that has worked as hard as
Dennis Flynn has in the same space of time.
"If yon have got any business in the interior,department
thatr 1 can attend to just write me when I get home and 1
will show you that I can treat you right. But send a man
down.there who will tight for yop day and night, and the
best man you can send there to do that business this time,
is Dennis Flynn."

N. B. Eggleston lias an envi-
able record as commissioner.
He has been in office nearly four
years, and his opponents can find
no point in which to criticise his
Embry-Slraughen Debates.
Among the most interesting of
lhe political meetings held in Lin-
coln county this year have been
the joint discussions held this
week between .J ohn Em bey,
county attorney, representing
t he republican party, and H. K. ,
Straughen, deputy treasurer, I
representing"the fusion party.
Mr. Straughen was for several'
months a deputy in the county,
cierk's office before necoming j
deputy treasurer, and he w as put i
out as the defender of of the re- i
cord .of the fu.von officials he-
cause it was hoped that his fa-]
iniliarity with the records of the j
two offices woula enable him to
so juggle with the figures per
taining to count y ti nances as to
confuse the minds of the voters j
and "escape an exposure1. This
was a vain hope on the part of;
the fusion bosses. liealizing
that a deput,\>hip for the nwxt j
two years depended in part upon',
the result of his efforts, Mr. !
Stratighen made a desperate
effort to cut and peice together
years and portions of years and j
expenditures and funds and
other matters so the fusion ad-
ministration would appear, not to
have been cheaper than the re-
publican rule, but not to have
cost MOltE! This effort was a
failure. .John Embry's exper
ience as a prosecutor enables
him to detect insincerity and
falsehood: hi> «|-\iick perception
and strong powers of analysis
enables him to tear to shreds the
flimsy fabric of falsehood and
deception woven b\ the fusion
officials to tilde their record of
incompetency, dishonesty, and
i'xtra.vagaflce; his familiarity with
county affairs makes it possible
for him to show the truth and t<>
prove beyond a doubt that the
defendants are guilty of having
broken their promises and be-
trayed the confidence of the
people. With the clear presen-
tation of the law which Mr. Ein-
bry makes and the indisputable
evidence which lie presents
would be sufficient to send au or-
dinary criminal to the peniten i
tiary; in this case it should i
enough to relegate them to a J
place where they will never1
again have a chance to put their
greedy hands into the county
treasury. The people of the
county should feel grateful to
Mr. Einbry for the honest, forc-
ible manner in whice he is show-
ing up' the hypocrisy of these
self-styled reformers.
Flynn and Keaton met yester-
day at Perkins in joint debate.
Flynn had b >en billed .to speak:
at th< rt'iinion, aiid when Keaton
learned this he had his Wellston
date cancelled and had his tnana (official record. He has always
gers bill him to speak at Perkins been careful and discriminating
at the same hour Flynn was to jin his efforts to protect the inter-
speak, boasting that he would ests of the county. His services
make Flynn meet him in joint lor the next twef years would be
debate. The managers of the re |'11 valuable to the county. Will
union objected to a joint debate, j the people retain him or elect an
but Flynn and Keaton both insis : unknown man whose only quali-
ted, and an arrangement .was i tication for securing the nomina
made for Flynn to open in a 30
minute's speech, Keaton to follow
in an hour's speech, Flynn to have
111) minutes more, and Keaton to
have five minutes to close. In
his opening speech Flynn asked
so many questions that Keaton
was unable to answer them all in
an hour's time. After Kea,ton's
effort to "square"himself, Flynn
poured the "hot shot" into him
for half an hour. It is estimat
eel that more than i!0( voters
deserted the Keaton cause by
reason of this exposure of tin
tion was that lie' would protect
French's printing graft?
If .J. F. Ayars is elected conn
1y 1 reasurer he will go into office
free from promises, except the
promise to do his duty by his
people. He has the qualificat ions
to do the work of the office him
self, so'far as one man can do
it, and he will not leave the office
in.the hands of deputies or be
habitually absent. He will be, as
he always has been, courteous
and obliging. No person is ever
fusion candidate's hypocrisy and too humble to receive fair treat
weakness. Flynn called atten ment at the hand ol Doc Ayars,
and those who know him will
hear us out in the statement that
no man could be elected to t}ie
office of treasurer who would try
harder to do his duty by his con
stituents. His honesty is. un
questioned and his loyalty and
patriotism were proven by four
years of service in the army of
the Union back in the 00's. Vote

tion to the fact that Keaton was
posing as the candidate of three
parties, each of which had a
county ticket in Payne county,
and asked Keaton .which'of the
three county tickets
elected. Keaton in said answer
that he couldn't take sides, or, in
other'words, that lie didn't care,
so long as they all voted for him
