After all the reports OF good crops In
Oklahoma and prosperity did not hurt
the cause of free homes.
Some time ago Dallas sauk OF waukc-
mis- was poisoned and the poison settled
in his eye and put IL out.
Dennis Flynn telegraphed J. b Guilt
son OF Enid when free homes passed,
ard added: Tel the people
Lots of original free homes men ara
now appearing on the scene. H Il. Ha-
gan credits Frank Greer with the idea.

ion that a man who runs in repeaters
az an election IS guilty under the postal

knew that free homes was TO come up
IL the senate Monday afternoon. There
was great danger OF serious opposition at
the very last, and the bill Sunday even
ing was in great Deril.
Here is the tune the Oklahoma City
Oklaheman plays. and right now 1t
sounds rather strange and discordant:
THE people of Oklahoma owe Mr..
Flynn nothing. He has been doubiy paid
for ali his services TO them. The passage
OF the free homes bill is as matter Of

for the OkIahoman to keep that up and
observe what sort of effect it will have
on the vote of the candidate 1t backs for
congress.
