of his being disposed as editor of
The Post.
One or the questions that o.inie up
was how to reach the Prisco and
Itock Island sysitem for another fund.
Tho present representative or these
two roads In political circles In Ok-
lahoma Is Dennis Plynn and tho
management or the Republican party
at Guthrie Is In the hamU or McGulre.
No plans were perfected for reaching
the Prisco and Hock Island for a
slush fund In Oklahoma nnd It Is
barely possible If they can seo their
way clear to get along without It all
tho money contributed from thla sys-
tem will go to the Indian Territory
committee ru IHrd McGulre Is unxlous
to keep Plynn from acquiring any
credit in tho Oklahoma campaign.
Tho commlttoo In Indian Territory
Is a Plynn organization and with tho
help or Pliny Sopor It is thought that
comniltteo will lie able to get a largo
fund from tho Plynn railways. It
Is conceded here thnt the only way
tho Republicans can hope to win now
Is with a largo slush fund. They huvo
not tlmo to perfect an organization an
tho Democrats have In tho limited
tlmo between this nnd election tlmo.
Said a prominent Republican hero
yostorday: "Wo will do Just as Hanna
did In 00. TIip Democrats had ev-
erything going their way up to with-
in n fow days of election when tho
tldo wns turned with tho means at

dian Territory was over I n rested or

Jameses tho Christians and the nat-
ions. In .tne early manhood or Henry
Starr his family was the subject of
mi Insult which resulted in the burn-
ing of their home mid the killing oy
himself of the person whom ho
thought responsible for the trouble.
An attempt to arrest him tor this kil-
ling his resisting nrrest ami subse-
quent events put him in tho list or
outlawry and finally at the head or
tin' ramous Starr gang. After many
years of train nnd bank robbing hold-
ups and murder the gang was routed
