Dennis Flynn Laying a Foundation for
Free Homes Legislation.
Dennis Flynn, the delegate
from Oklahoma, has already be-
gun his campaign for free homes.
He has made an important ar-
rangement in regard to the com-
mittees in this respect with Dele-
gate Parea, of New Mexico.
There are three territorial dele-
gates in congress—Flynn of Ok-|
lahoma, Parea of New Mexico, j
both republicans, and Delegate
Wilson, of Arizona, a democrat.
Mr. Flynn was very anxious, on
account of the J fee homes bill,
to get on the committee on public j
lands. He and Mr. Parea today
called on Speaker Henderson at!
his rooms and had a conference j J
with him. * The three agreed on j is
Flynn having a place on the pub- j %
lie lands committee, the commit-1
tee on Indian affairs, and the j ^
committee on territories. Parea i :
is to have a place on the commit-1 ;s
tee on military affairs, committee j
on private land claims, and com-1
mittee on territories. The- other
delegate, Mr. Wilson, of Arizona, is
gets the balance. Mr. Flynn is j E
already seeing members of con- j ;s

:J a jaw. ft is important to make congress feel that the people
;= of Oklahoma are in earnest about this matter. • No one can do
£ this better than the homesteaders themselves, and no one is
§ more interested than they are. It will not be hard for every
■; man in the county to help. There are over 3000 homestead-
is era in Lincoln county; and there are hundreds of others who
§ are not living on homesteads, but who are interested in see-
■5 ing free homes given to settlers in Oklahoma. Each one of
5 these should write one or more letters to members of con-
1 gress and senators, asking them to support the free homes |
;5 bill. There should be 5000 letters go from Lincoln county jj:
■s alone between now and January 1. Each letter will do a lot ;
I of good, and will cost but a few minutes of work and two sj
rg cents postage. You don't know how to write one, do you |
sav? Then we will suggest a form that may serve as a guide. |;
Here, is a sample letter, clipped from the Kingfisher Free §;

Kansas settlers did and
like all other homesteaders have done heretofore, under the old home-
stead law. I would be all risrht. But. iI' i have to pay $240 for my
homestead, I will have to mortgage it to get the money. We had
some bad years to start with—poor crops and no money, and got be-
hind. We are doing pretty well now.
Don't you think we deserve as good treatment at
the government as other homesteaders? I was a soldier in the S;
Union army (if that's so, or if you were *a rebel soldier say so— fe
its all one now), and I want to leave my homestead unencumbered,
to my children. All of the political parties at their last national
conventions put free homes in their platforms, and they ouglU to sj
do as thev agree, to. and not mislead the the people. _ ^

Word it something like .the above, varying it if necessary
so as to fit your case. Write to as many members of con-
mess and as many senators as possible, and get your neigh-
bors to do likewise. Don't imagine these letters will do no
good. If they accomplish nothing else they will keep the
free homes question before the members addressed, and
that will be an immense help to our delegate.
Write at once. Don't put it off.
