Ardmorelto Special.
Guthrie. Okla.. Oct. 7. C. N. Has
kell democratic governor-elect has
opened headquarters In tho Royal
hotel. Today ho was busy receiving
callers. A mass of paper on tho desk
before him showed ho was not alto-
gether In tho hands of visitors. It
might bo a coincidence that Mr. Has-
kell's room Is tho sanio ono occu
pied as headquarters of W. II. Mur
ray tho president of the constitution
al convention. Tho complexion of tho
guests Is much life same.
In tho pile of documents scattered
over the desk wero numerous appli
cations for berths under tho new
Btato regime. Mr. Haskell fingered
them as ho spoke thoughtfully.
They aro asking for olllces I've
never heard about l'ossiuiy i win

things sometime."
It Is an apparent habit of tho
democratic leader to leave ample
room for Inference. At any rate ho
smiled broadly.
To tell you tho truth" ho con
tinued do not know Just what
plo I will .have to dispense. I havo
a lawyer at work now comparing tho
Oklahoula statutes 'with tho constitu
tion to find out Just what my lim
its are."
Is thcro any foundation In tho
report that Murray will attempt to
take Governor Frantz's placo on tho
election board Tuesday? " ho was
asked.
"Not a scintilla" he replied quick
ly. Then ho hesitated. That Is I am
positive Mr. Murray would havo com.
inunlcatcd with me If ho had Intend
ed to take such a radical course."
Mr. Haskell went out of his way to
express his confldenco In Secretary
Fllson and tho rest of tho stato can
vasslmi board. "Charllo Fllson Is a
red hot partisan" ho said "but ho'
on tho square alright. I'd bet my
bottom dollar on that."

RRYAN WILL
DECIDE SOON
WHETHER HE WILL AGAIN BE A
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.
ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER
Should He Decline For Himself He
Will Urge the Nomination of
Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleve-
land to Head Ticket.
Omaha Neb. Oct. 7. William Jen-
nings llrynn has given himself Just
two mouths to decide whether or
not he will again bo a candidate for
president and he will make his for-
mal "bid" for support either for nlm-
self or his favorlto candidate at a
big banquet which his friend. Mayor
J. C. Da Mm a ii of Omaha has an
uouueed for Dec. 7 at tho auditorium
In Omaha when 1000 prominent
democrats from all portions of tho
country will bo present l!y that time
llrynn expects to know positively
whether he will nBk for tho nomina-
tion for himself or for another. If
tho trend of events between now
nnd Dec. 7 Is such that Ilryan Is
(l)nvlnced that ho can bo elected he
will announce his candidacy and his
platform nt tho big banquet. If ho
concludes thero Is not a first class
chance of his election ho will an-
nounce at that time that ho Is not
a candidate and does not want tho
nomination. At tho samu time ho will
make a plea for his personal cholco.
Whllo eastern democrats havo been
declaring that tho south Is not for
Ilryan Ilryan aud his' friends havo
quietly gone about disproving this
statement not by tho words but by
tho actions of tho southern leaders.
Among tho leading democrats who
will Lake part in tho great banquet
aro tho following governors of south
cm states: Comer of Alabama Glenn
of North Carolina Campbell of Tex
as Hoke Smith of Georgia Droward
of Florida aud Folk of Missouri.
Ucckham of Kentucky aud sev
eral others havo been Invited
aud aro expected to accept but
havo not yet done so Tho sight
of tho governors uf mj many south'
cru states taking part In a pro
Ilryan banquet aud ono nt which
lirynn Is expected to mako tho most
Important political announcement of
tho year Is calculated by tho Ilryau
peoplo to show tho country that Dry
an Is yet solid with tho real leaders
and the actual voters of tho south
em states despite tho circulated
reports that such Is not tho case.
It Is expected that Governor Johnson
of Minnesota will also bo ono of
the galaxy of democratic governors
who will surround Uryau on tho
night when ho will either announco
his candidacy or "sing his swan
song." Governor Johnson has not yet
replied to his Invitation but from
tho answer given by whom to an
Invitation to a Ilryan banquet work
ed up In Lincoln and then aban
doned It Is believed ho will accept
and will bo with Ilryan It Uryau
decides to bo a candidate
Now hero Is tome Information
which comes hlght fro mtho very
"Inner circle" of llryanlsni and may
bo taken as absolutely true.
Ilryan and his most Intimates and
"ancients" concede that William Han
dolph Hearst really holds tho whip
handlo of democracy and that In tho
final analysis It rests with Hearst
as to whether or not Ilryan will bo
a candidate. After deciding that all
other points are with him Ilryan
will then reckon with Hearst before
ho makes a decision
If Hearst through tho Independence
League refuses to support Ilryan
William Jennings llrynn will not no
a candidate for president
All tho doubt of Hearst's position
comos from tho 111-feollng which
really exists between thoso two men
which on Hearst's part originated at
tho St Louis convention when Ilryan
refused to throw his support to
Hearst and Instead asked his fol
lowers to supioit Cockrell of Mis
sourl. Hearst has never forgiven Dry
an for this and now Dryan Is In
tho position of having to ask Hearst
to give his support where .1 similar
request from Hearst to Ilrjan was
turned down.
This Ill-feeling between Hearst and
llrjnu which Is openly denied by
each really exists Just tho same and
unless Hearst agrees to throw the
support of tho Independence League
to Ilryan. W. J. llrynn will posl-
tlvely not bo a candidate.
When the banquet of the D.ihlman
democracy Is called to order In
Omaha on Dec. 7 this point will
li.no been definitely settled. If Hearst
has In tho meantime agreed to sup
port Dryan and Uryau has settled
u his own mind that other condl-
lons point to his own election he
will that night declaro himself and
will outline his platform which will
be pratlccally the same as the Ne
braska stale platform for this fall
which plat form was written by Ilry
an himself.
Hut If Hearst falls Mm Ilryan will
make a plea not for himself but
for Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland
Ilryau would rather see Tom Johnson
head the democratic ticket than any
other man. Johnson Is also a per-
sonal friend of Hearst so tho Dryan
men claim and he can command
tho support of both llrynn and
lenrst. If Johnson Is riM'lected may
or of Cleveland In tho face of tho
opposition of the Washington admin-
Miration ho becomes nt onco a load-
ng figure In national politics nnd
with Dryan on ono stdo of htm and
learBt on tho other both "boosting"
Ilryau believes tho Cleveland man
can bo elected whero ho himself
would fall.
Whllo tho banquet has been an
nounced not nil tho arrangements
havo yet been made. In addition to
tho list of governors who havo al-
ready accepted aro tho acceptances
of many prominent democrats from
all over tho country nnd yet others
aro still being Invited. It Is tho Inten
tion of Mayor Dahlman who Is fath
ering tho affair to mako this tho
greatest gathering of national figures
in democratic circles that this coun-
try has ever seen. And when tho
Bpeeches nro over Ilryan or Tom
Johnson will bo the next candidate

ticket
