MANY THE ASP|RANIS
For the Vacant Commission
ership in kingfsher.
GOVERNOR IN NO HASTE
To Fill lt-Amos Ewing at the
Capital.

Guthrie. o. T., April 9.-Hon. Amos
Ewing, inspector Of oils. came over from
Kingfsher today to urge the speedy APP
pointment of a successor to the late
county commissioner F. NJ. Albaugh, who
was killed several weeks ago by being
thrown from his horse. There has been
quite an unusual scramble for the va
cancy, which, under the law, is filed by
the governors appointment. Mr. Ewing
refused to state whom he favored for the
place, but it is generally regarded that
he favors the candidacy of Colonel L. A.
Dean. Governor Barnes is still absent
from the city but prior to his departure
he stated that he would be in no hurry
to fill the vacancy in the Kingfsher
county commissionership; that thus far
there had been no considerable pressure
exerted and he desired to first learn the
wishes of the leading Republicans Of the
district and county before he would take
any action

TELLER FAVORS FREE HOMES
And Works for the Bill, but Has
Doubts Of Statehood.

Guthrie, o. T., April 81. II. Plnkerton
Of PixIee tells the AraDahoe Bee that he
received a letter from Senator Teller Of
Colorado in which Mr.. Teller says: so
fas are the free homestead bill is con-
cerned I have done all 1 could to secure
its passage. In the winter Of 1886 We
passed it through the senate with a de-
cided majority. I made a speech in its
favor. As for statehood, do not believe
there is any probability of your immedi-
ate admission. OF course the officials are
all opposed to statehood They want to
hold the offices and will make all repre-
sensations possible to discourage the ad-
mission Of Oklahoma as a state. 1 re-
member well the early days of Colorado;
how difficult it was to get good officials
and how difficult to get rid of bad ones.
1 am disposed to get the territories out
of their territorial condition as rapidly as
possible, for I hold that the people are
entitled TO govern themselves and if they
want to elect a Republican administra-
ton they have a right to do 50. 1 will
not dispute their right. although I might
not approve Of their judgment"

THINKS FREE HOMES WILL WIN
w. L. Harm says liz Not Now, 1t VIII
he Probably Never,

Guthrie, O. T., April 9.-The Oklahoma
City Times-Journal says: ''W. F. Harm.
having Just returned from Washington,
was sought out today by a representative
of the Times-Journal and the following
interview on Oklahoma matters was had:
What do you think Of the prospects
for the early passage of the free homes
billy" was asked by the Times-Journal.
1.-THE free homes bill is almost certain
to pass, but there is much hard work 10
be performed before it becomes a law.
The great difficulty has been for Mr..
Flynn to get the speaker to fix a date
upon which the bill can be considered by
the house. Speaker Henderson has given
Mr.. Flynn assurance that he will have a
date but no definite time has been agreed
upon. The Importance OF this concession
cannot be fully appreciated until it is
remembered that IL was the failure OF a
former speaker of the house to allow the
bill to come up for consideration that pre-
vented the bill from becoming law a
long time ago 1t is well known that there
will be no trouble in the senate. for that
body has heretofore twice passed the
measure by a two to one vote, and If
consideration in the house is once had,
there can be no doubt of the final out
come"
Does there seem to be great oppo-
sition to the bill in the house of repre-
sentatives?"
''At first there was considerable ac-
tivity on the part of a few influential
members of congress to prevent the bill
from being reported and later in trying
to prevent It's final consideration. on ac-
count of the large amount of money the
bill will indirectly take from the United
States treasury. This opposition has
been minimized by the indominitable per-
severance and activity of Dennis Flynn.
l have always thought that Flynn is the
only man that could get the people Of
Oklahoma free homes. and now, after
having spent the winter in Washington
watching the proceedings of congress
daily. I not only think so, but know that
if free homes become a reality in the ter
ritory it will be because of the incessant
work Of Flynn, and if it fails under
Flynn's labors for its passage, all efforts
might as well be abandoned
