TO meet, and 1 cannot see how II Is be

hands of the voters when the rest Of the
Republican ticket was so horribly man

Colonel Lamm also said: There Is no
doubt in my mind that Oklahoma. with
her SO 600 inhabitants viii be admitted IS
a state. It is nothing more than right
that this should be so. You have the
people and the wealth TO make Oklahoma

thing he can 10 push the good WORK along
and he viii also receive good support
from the senator's and congressman OF al

The Colonel was very anxious 70 know
how Dennis was elected: he had heard
various stories, but wanted 20 get the
straight OF II.
The Deacon told the story IN the follow
ing concise and not 70 be for gotten way;
Dennis Flynn Is the idol Of the people
of Oklahoma: he is TO warm bosom friend

There are two sets az abstrac; books in
Canadian county. and II a Ere should de-
stroy the court house. as was the case in
Harvey county. Kansas. some years ago.
there is not a farmer in the county that
could give a clear title TO his land without
going 10 the parties who hold the alb
