the statements Of the gentleman from

state. Why. sir. that declaration will be
heralded throughout the district which

they will quote the gentleman from Ohio
as very good authority. I have no OBJ
jection if they want to use him as such;
but I deny his right to speak on that
proposition for me and the party OF which
I.claim to be a member.
Further, we are told you are bound 10
be Democratic AS a matter OF fact. sun

OF Oklahoma right TO align themselves
With whatever party they deem proper.

Following the above, Mr.. Flynn made a |
very able presentation Of the moral. Intel /

its newspapers. magazines. schools. 1
churches. denominations and beneficiary 1
and fraternal organizations.

in the territory various building and loan
and other financial institu-
tons. all OF which are Of a substantial
character; and to say that we have 80
banking institutions Of All kinds N the
territory, with resources Of over go 00o. 900,
IS 10 place low estimate on them.
There are now IN the territory over I
.2o0 miles OF railroad. with enough pro-
