owa and Apache lands? Section 4 pro-
vides that:-"In addition TO the land
office fees the entryman shall pay
81. % per acre at the time of submit
ting his final proof Does he wish to
continue this question indefinitely,
upon which each succeeding two years,
he can make demand for reelection,
and then through his statehood bill,
providing for a state with our present
boundries, then ask TO be chosen
first United States Senator, for the
purpose of pushing" his pet campaign
measure through that body?
Now, look at Mr.. Callahan. A man
ripe in experience, pure, honorable and
upright in his daily walks; man who
himself LIVES upon "A Cheyenne home
stead, he and his family are working
TO pay, If necessary, that government
mortgage placed there by republicans.
He is a pioneer worker in the Free
Homes League and if any man in
Oklahoma can be considered INTENSE
LY IN EARNEST on this question, that
man is j. Y. Callahan. There can be
nothing, judging from point OF per-
sonal ability and legislative skill that
Mr. Flynn could obtain for oklahoma
that Mr. Callahan could not equally
soon obtain from congress, and from
be even more energetic Mr.. Flynn's
personal interests and associations are
with and for the MONEY LoANING fra
ternity, and by that reason is naturally
and earnestly, as in his public speeches
he states, opposed to the free coin
age of silver at l6 TO /.
FROM A MORAL STANDPOINT
The opportunity of the year comes
on the Sd for you To judge as 20 the
kind of a representative, morally speak
ing, YOU desire TO have look after your
interests in congress. Localities are
judged by the kind of people they send
To represent them. Mr., Flynns record
of intemperanee and immortality is no
secret in Oklahoma, nor is denial at
tempted by any republicans who pre-
sumo 10 be acquainted with his person
al habits or police court record, On
the other hand the Free Silver forces
have nominated and submit for your
support man whose life record is
CLEAN; man whose personal habits
are above reproach, and whose assoeia-
tions do not lead him into debauchery.
Mr.. Callahan is a man who is distinctly
opposed TO mixed schools in Oklahoma,
while Mr. Flynns statehood bill now
pending, provides for mixed schools
to be a fixture in the state constitution
and is in the following words found in
section 8;
"And said constitution (by constitu-
tional convention) shall provide by Or
DINANCE IRREYoCABLE without the con-
sent Of the United States that pro
vision shall be made for the establish
ment and maintenance of a system of
public schools which shall be open TO
All the children of said state.
On this provision Mr.. Flynn is DI-
RECTLY BIDDING for the eolored vote
and WILL GET IT,eNcept in Logan eoun-
ty, where his double dealing with the
colored people is too well known.
On you, voter, rests "a responsibility
which is indeed great. In your hands
is the power TO express next Tuesday
the kind of q standard bearer you
would have represent Oklahoma; not
your interests ALONE are IN your hands
but those of your family and the fu-
ture of this hopeful territory now
knocking for statehood. OF all times,
on this day, You should be the most
careful that no act of yours shall tend
TO encourage public immortality dila-
tory tactics in congress, mixed schOols,a
retard Of statehood. or the defeat Of
free homes by the election of Mr. Flynn
whose party is AGAINST him on this
question and whose national party
will not recognize Oklahoma's demand
for state government as already eyi-
denced by the persistent opposition OF
the entire eastern republican party 10
any more free silver states or silver
senators.
As You vote, SO must you abide the re-
suits. Your oppressors have two wears
