ator Pettigrow and Representative Lacey
20 let the original Oklahoma free home
bin become a law this session. and that
would be an entering wedge and a start
ing point for the future enactment 81 such
legislation on this subjec, as other MEM
bers OF congress were interested In. Tn
DER date of 9th inst. "a reply was receiv-
cd from Mr., Callahan. In which he SAYS:
We Will have another vote on free
homes. That IS, We will take vote on
the report OF the conference committee.
But I have no hope or favorable result.
There is no way Of reaching an agreements
between Petugrew and Lacey. In fact.
II isn't Pcttigrew alone. There arr q
dozen or more members OF the house and
senate who are Interested and for " TO
leave them ont would never be consented
to. This unfortunate condition IS 90 -
regretted. IL really looks Ike there was
