STATEHOOD KNOCKERS
MOTIVES ANALYzED

The Tulsa World, the leading Rep

1T all resolves itself 10 the question
OF statehood ii says. The World is
sincere In its belief that Gov Frantz
Hon. Dennis 4. Flynn, Hon. B. s. Nc
Guire and Frank Greer are sincere
in their desire for statehood. The
World cannot take any other position
in view of their oft repeated protesta.
tions to that effect. But Ia the light
OF their present policy, what will not
some see?
VIII not some ascrlbe Gov Frantz's
efforts, not to a desire 10 amend the
gerrymander, but desire TO perpetu-
ate himself as governor as long as he
pleases to hold the position under ter
ritorial government? VIII not few
skeptical personages see in Frank
Greer's fight not patriotic repugnance
10 an Objectionable bin OF rights but
a selfish unwillngncss to release
his grasp on the territorial print
ing2
VIII not a lonely dozen or maybe
more view the Hon. Dennis Flynn's
defense of posterity's education
through glasses which point to an add
ed tax upon the Frisco railroad On
$500 annually under statehood?
Is there not possibility that few
may think that Bird .. Mcclure would
shout for statehood in the halls Of con
gress at $500 a year, rather than on
the plains of his chosen district as a
private citizen?
The Oklahoma politicians who are
for this delay Will suffer
at the hands of the people. We are
bound to get statehood some time and
when we do the people will take care

the Oklahoma side of the people in
