DEMOCRATS AND THE FREE HOMES
BILL.

hill.
While the Democrats of Oklahoma
feel that there is little hope for the
passage of the free homes measure
through the present congress-, they are
willing and anxious TO lend everylpos
sible aid TO Delegate Flynn looking
toward favorable Legislation in the
matter. Free homes is not partisan
question although Mr.. Flynn has al
was endeavored TO give It the appear
ance Of being such. HehAs treasured
this bill as his own political offspring
aud has ruthlessly ignored every At
tempt Of Democrats 10 push legislR~
tion. While Mr.. Callahan was engi-
neering the free homes measure in
congress, Delegate Flynn and his fol-
lowers refused to appear before the
committees when called upon for in.
formation, and they coptrived in ev
cry way within their power to retard
action so long as Callahan was at the
helm. Flynn has been elected TO con
gress three times on the free homes
plank and he has regarded Democrat
ic aid with distrust. He has never
called upon Democrat to assist him
with the bill, and in the event Of its
passage he will doubtless claim credit
for the Republicans, and also another
nomination from his party on the
strength Of his wo-kl
The question of free homes for Ok
lahoma is not now, sni never was, a
partisan measure. A free homes
plank appears in the platforms Of the
Democratic. sPopulist and Republican
parties. IL ia q measure Of the people
aud is of vital industrial, not political,
Importance to the territory. The peo-
pie of 0klshoma are a unit in favor Of
free homes. The passage Of Flynn's
bill would mean the lifting of six
teen million dollar mortgage from the
homesteAders. The people want this
mortgage lifted and they pray con.
gress that 1t be done at this session.
But from the color Of the congression-
al program at present there is little
hope that the prayers of the people
will be answered.
The people are not exacting in their
demands and are not overly particular
as to what form of free homes legisla-
tion Ia enacted inst 40 sone favorable
course is taken looking to the better
ment of the Oklahoma farmer, who,
relying on the promises of Delegate
Flynn, has delayed proving up his
claim for the past Eve years in the
hope that he might do business with
tke land Office without placing q mort
gage on his place in order TO own it
Flynn's free homes bill is a good
measure, but II it cannot be passed
then let general bill be enacted.

by scheminp men who would use him as
a tool 70 further their own ends. For
these reasons | prefer Bryan for the
Democratic nominee, and think that he
will be placed At the head of the ticket
by the national convention. Dewey,
believe. liz a Democrat, his only vote for
president having been cast for Cleveland.
His candidacy will not affect the political
situation, unless he Is seeking the nomi-
nation from the Republican party, I'm
which case all the opponents Of Mckin-

however, draw very heavily from the
Democrats. II his platform was the same
IA McKinleys. / believe he aspres to
the Democratic nomination, and that II
no should get IL he would carry many
Republicans with him. The day of hero
worship has passed away and 1 greatly
doubt IL he will succeed in his ambition.
