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

Guthrie, Ok, Nov. 1o.-D. It. 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 Mcguire 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.
81 do not believe now, no matter
who is declared elected, that can get
statehood this winter, no matter how
hard work, and shall work as hard
as 1 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
territori, IS to statehood, will seize upon
any pre-, ext to delay the statehood
bill New Mexico, where the people
are unit for statehood, h aving been a
territory for fifty-five years, elected
Rodey by 5000, 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.
1.-The people of Oklahoma fully I'M
derstood the significance of the present
election, and their votes would seem
to indicate that statehood is not want
ed Cross stood for indefinite sti .tehood
and Mcclure stood for inn Mediate
statehood. 1 regret that the school
land lessees were deceived and, infer
eDtially, voted against statehood. The
bill provided more literally for them
thar any future bill will, and abso-
lutely protected them. After March
l will be private citizen, and. while
always their friend, will not be in a
position to do for them what 1 could as
q member of congress.
1.-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
brilliant campaign. He did every
thing candidate could do, and, if it
should turn out that he is defeated,
while the loss of him will be a personal
one, the real loss will be to. the terri
tory"

cry OF George F. Ayers, who lives at 16
Division street, in this city. One year

when an old gentleman from Bath,
N. Y, advised me to take Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, telling me they had cured
him of the same disease.
81 had tried so many remedies that
I was past hoping and told him so,
but when he bought me box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and coaxed me to
try them 1 did so just to humor his
within.
THAT was the means of saving my
life. l took that box and half a dozen
more Thanks to that old man and

Most people think the success of Pc
runa depends upon the use of advertise
ments. Undoubtedly the advertise
ments help some. But by far the great
est number of people who hear of Pc
runa, have their attention called to it
by friend.
Some one gets cured of chronic ca
tarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of
his cure, he is sure to recommend it to
his friends. Friend recommends it to
friend and the news spreads from tongue
to tongue.
All the advertisements i'm the world
could not make Peruna as popular as
