Certain That Governer Jenk
ins Has Formulated a
Pie Slate
Milling tn the ranks of the JenVlns-
Flynn organlsstion Is on good and
hard. Every train brings republican
politicians to the city and all of them
are not Interested in harmony. The
majority want pie. It is reasonably
certain that Gov. Jenkins has formu-
lated a slate and that all the Barnes
appointees will retire or be removed
the day following the new Governor's
Induction Into office. It
io ccrt"' '
t-at J. J. Huston is booked for coin
missloner of the school land depart
oil Inspectorship.
Either .hi age Roberts of Kingfisher
or Geo. S. Greer will be darned attor-
ney general. James McConnell of
Kingfisher Is booked for Grimes'
chief clerk. Oklahoma City and Porry
will have very little munching at tho
p'e couuter. Federal appoiutements
for the Kiowa and Comanche country
are said to have been decided upon at
Washington and there Is not a carpet-
bagger it. the list. Thomas R. Reld
and Thomas B. Ferguson are oach
conceded a land office Job and both
will probably be at El Reno Reld as
register and Ferguson ns receiver.
Anton Classen will remain as re
ceiver of the Oklahoma City land of-
fice while John Pfaft of Edmond In
nil probability will succeed Seymout
S. Price ns register. Pfaff was an ap-
plicant for the placo four yonrs ago.
Jamos McConnell of Klngflshor has
been picked as tho wlnnor In tho rnco
for tho position of assistant territorial
secretary under Grimes. McConnell
has been closo in tho confldonco of
Grimes for years. Ho Is a man of
ploasant address a requisite for tho
place and has an Intlmato knowledge
of Oklahoma politics.
Tho Influences that brought about
the appolntmont of Jonxlns nnd
Grimes are said to bo committed to
the reappointment of C. H. Thompson
as United States marshal. Thomp-
son has political enemies who would
gladly seize upon any opportunity to
defeat him but thoro Is no doubt of
his overcoming them.
