What with fights within fights,
chewing of the rag and steering of the
buncoers, Mr.. Flynn's chances are in
sorry plight. Flynn is running on
platform of his own building. viz:
Gratitude TO Flynn" Gratitude in
the past tense cuts but little ice.
Everywhere that Flynn orators speak
the ghost Of Barnesism will rise to
haunt them. Flynn cannot turn the
tide Of disgust by prosy dissertations
on statehood. Statehood and free
homes cannot win votes for Flynn.
Throughout the campaign Flynn
will be on the defensive. The Okla-
homa voter will not allow Mr.. Flynn
to scuttle away from the arguments
put forth by Judge Neff and other
Democratic speakers.
If the Flynn platform is Gratitude
to Flynn" then the arguments
along that line must neces-
sarily touch upon Flynn's In.
gratitude to Barnes" AS governor
of Oklahoma, Barnes spent money and
time in lobbying for the free homes
measure While in Washington last
winter Gov. Barnes won over three
senators who had been fighting the
free homes bi l, and his officials inlthis
territory have contributed literally to
the free homes league, to say nothing
Of the speeches made by them. James
Hus ton, one of the offic as condemned
by the Flynn convention, compiled the
gigantic free homes memorial to con-
gress.
No, the gratitude racket will not
work,
Flynn's only recourse is the defense
otself-coufessed corrupt and rotten
territorial and federal administrations
which be specifically caused to be dis
graced even after the territorial Dem
ocratic convention had refused to
brand them with the specific Clarke
resolution of 'wantonness and corrup-
ton"
Flynn cannot guild the lilies DUR
ing this campaign. Voters will want
to know things.
Among other pertinent interrogato-
ries they will ask;
Why the director or president of 21
banks in Oklahoma, Dennis?
How do you stand on the banking
law9
Do you favor trusts and monopolies?
What was rakeoff in the Usage cattle
scandal cases?
Why do you give the school land
lessees the worst of it in your state
hood bill?
Why is it you have so suddenly
awakened to the extreme Importance
of immediate statehood?
Why did you not give the homestead
ers in the Kiowa, Comanche and Wich-
ita reservations free homes?
While ostensibly assisting Guthrie,
why did you secretly plug for another
town on the capital question?
You have drawn sec, 900, 900 in salary
as congressman. How is il you are
worth So 900, 600?

bullet, except that It has an opening,
which he calls . canal, practically all
the way through IL. This opening, he
maintains, will prevent the explosion
Of projectile air after the bullet has
entered the body, and also will prevent
the entrance Of air into the wound.
The new bullet has . steel tube, ex.
tending from the tip TO the butt, so
fastened at each end a. not to weaken
the bullet or give Il an opportunity
to explode. Al che back of the bullet,
against the opening into the tube, is
an aluminium Wad, to prevent the es-
cape Of the gaa generated by the pow
der. As soon o. the bullet leaves the
