1t Il curious how there are in Okla
homa state influences. This Is because
Oklahoma Is under federal control and
every state feels that some Of Okaho-
mas patronage belongs to her. For in
stance, there is the Arkansaw influence
in Oklahoma. To this influence Barnes
owes his appointment as governor. The
Nebraska influence, that is the men in
Oklahoma from Nebraska who can reach
prominent Nebraska men, who in turn
reach the president, centers about King
fisher. The Iowa influence is centered in
Garfield county. Amos Ewing and John
Buckles have a big load of Ohio influ-
ence. The Kansas influence in Oklahoma
is not we'll dfined-Dennis Flynn probably
having it-although Dennis has a distinct
way of not depending much on outside
support
