SAYS STATEHOOD IS DEAD.
Dennis Flynn Says So In An APP
proved Interview,
STATEHOOD WAS NOT WANTED.

Guthrie, Ok, Nov. 10.-D. Il. Flynn
said in relation to the election in Okla
homa:
"The present election in Oklahoma
was the closest in the history of the
country, when area and the number OF
votes cast are taken into consideration.
Over 90, 900 votes were cast and it will
take the official count to decide the
result.
but whether Mcclure or Cross is
declared elected as delegate to con-
gress, there should be no contest, as
this should destroy the usefulness of
whoever wins, and would negative all
chances to get legislation for the terri
tory
II do not believe now, no matter
who is declared elected, that can get
statehood this winter, no matter how
hard work, and l shall work as hard
as l can. Congress will be timid, even
if Mcclure is successful, as his majority
will be small, and the senate, which is
always conservative about admitting
territories to statehood, will seize upca
any pretext to delay the <tatehood
bill. New Mexico, where the people
are unit for statehood, having been
territory for tifty-tive years. elected
Rodey by 6,00O, and he struck the key
note when he said that, if Oklahoma
did not emphatically declare for the
statehood bill, there was NO hope for
its immediate passage.
THE people of Oklahoma fully un-
derstood the significance of the present
election, and their votes would seem
to indicate that statehood is not want
ed Cross stood for indefinite statehood
and Mcclure stood sor immediate
statehood. l regret that the school
land lessees were deceived and, infer
entially, voted against statehood. The
bill provided more literally for them
than any future bill will, and abso-
lutely protected them. After March A
/ will be private citizen, and, while
always their friend, will not be in
position to do for them what could as
a member of congress.
"The republican party in the recent
election, for the first time in many
years, not only had the loyal support
of the entire party, but had the ag-
gressive support of the federal and
territorial officials. Mr.. Mcclure made
a brilliant campaign. He did every
thing a candidate could do, and, if it
should turn ont that he is defeated,
while the loss of him will be a personal
one, the real loss will be TO the terri
tory"
