When Mr. McGnlro heard of the
I.AWlon man's activities lie at once
circulated n report that the flag was
never government property and later
tinted that he had paid tho govern-
hiont clerk in question J7.f0 for the
flag. In an Interview given out In
Oklahoma City since and during the
recent republican state convention Mr.
McGuIro is quoted as liaving used th )
following words:
"All this talk about the first Hag i

It will be noticed that according lo
Mr. McUmres latest wenl tho fli
