SPIRITED As EVER
Dennis Flynn and His Ideas
About Oklahoma Territory.
SAYS 0U7CALT WILL WIN
Thinks Congress VIII Give
Oklahoma Free Homes.

It was sweltering hot yesterday when
Delegate Dennis Flynn, the political idol
OF Oklahoma came through Wichita sit
ting in a railroad coach and blowing
puts OF smoke out the car window. He
was bound for Washington.
viii outcalt be appointed SUPERVISOR
asked a reporter for the Eagle.
Eyes, sir. He Is already appointed"
''His name has not been announced.
hiss it?"
mo; but It will be. His name has
gone to the president, and he will be
selected"
ibid you know that charges Of incon-
potency had been filed against Mr. Out
calt?'
Il do. They are false. understand
that Secretary Jenkins has filed such
charges. They were filed against Secre-
tary Jenkins when he wanted to be Sec
Rotary of the territory and they will do
just about as much harm now as they
did then"
what is jenkins objection to Out
caltT'
az don't know. He is welded to an
other man. Governor Barnes and Jen-
kins and myself had a conference. which
1 attended under protest. to agree on a
supervisor. 1 kept naming them over to
Jenkins, and he wouldn't agree on any
OF them. 1 named nine men from his
own county, good. capable men. leading
men. and he objected to every one Of
them. Outcalt will be appointed. how
ever, despite Jenkins"
To the readers OF the Eagle It should
be explained that Outcalt is the man
Flynn and Barnes agreed on for super
visor for Oklahoma Secretary Of Terri
tory jenkins would not do so, and Is try
ing to defeat his appointment.
''what about free homes?" Mr.. Flynn
was asked.
The delegate Strengthened up and. wip-
ing his face with his handkerchief, said
spiritedly:
let me tell you about free homes. Our
chances of getting them are as good as
ever. You will hear people say that Ok
lahoma is so prosperous that congress
will not listen to the proposition. Let me
tell you that we are not asking for free
homes on the grounds Of being paupers.
We are not paupers. We have got the
grandest country on earth. We have as
fine a people as there is on earth. ener-
kettle, ambitious, public-spirited We ask
free homes as a matter of right. Ever
since the original homestead act under
President Lincoln people have been get
ting free homes. Why should Oklahoma
be asked to pay for her lands? Do you
think for a moment that after we have
the Philippines under complete control
the government will sell the farm lands
there in order to reimburse itself for
that $50, 900 900 paid to Spain? The gov
eminent will not charge either Tagal or
white man for those lands. And when
congress properly understands the situa-
ton In Oklahoma I believe that they will
give us free homes. 1t Is our right. and
I believe congress will see It that way"
The Oklahoma delegate looks as bright
and energetic as ever. He will remain In
Washington about a couple OF weeks
He says he Is not going on politics, but
on private business.
