AMES FIGHTS STATEHOOD
Emphatic in Opposition TO
Capital Provision
In the Bill.
Special to Daily Leader.

Special 20 Daily Leader.
Oklahoma City, Dec. 5--Mr c. B.
Ames, law partner OF d. r. Flynn, prac-
tlcally opposed statehood today. Among
other things he said.
"The capital provision of Mr. Nc
Cures statehood bill Is nothing more
nor less than political trickery It pro-
vides that the capital shall remain at
Guthrie until 1910. and that thereafter
il may be removed by the vote OF "A
majority Of the electors. The effect Of
this will be 10 keep the capital perma-
nently at Guthrie. unless one Of the OPP
ponents can at the election secure an
absolute majority Of the entire vote
east-not simply A p,1rality but a clear
majority The effect Is that Mus
koees. South McAiester. shawnSe' ok
lahon,a City Enid and Guthrie should
enter the race for the capital cad Guth-
rle should receive the luweat vote Of
any aspirant, Il would Htill remain the
capital unless one Of the other candi-
dates received a majority of the entire
vote cast. This is taking away from
the people the right to locate the capt.
tai and is nothing more or less than an
outrage.
1T is somewhat surprising that Mr.
Mcclure should insist upon this pro-
,ysion. in view OF the fact that the re-
solutions Of The statehood convention,
held in Oklahoma City last July. con-
demned all these provisions OF the bill
taking away from the state its fun
and equal rights as a member Of the
federal union"
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1905-12-05

Spokane was unfair and burdensome.
Il would. without the amendmen. urged
by NJ Townsend be powerless to
compel the railroads to stop their dis.
crimination, since the courts have held
in long line Of decisions, that freight
is Rot deiievered to interior points.
under substantially similar circum.
stances and conditions" as to the
terminals and so long as these six
words are a part Of the law, the courts
will go on sustaining railroad discrim-
nations in favor OF the terminals.
The amendment proposed by Con.
gresham Townsend, therefore. goes IA
the heart Of The evil, and ought TO be
supported by every interest and every
