Oklahoma City Okln.. 8ept. 20--Chairman
Jesse Dunn who was In
Guthrie yesterday gave out the fol-
lowing authorized statement today:
Tho recent activity in the Republi-
can circles and the visits of the Santa
Fe railway officials and the result of
tho withdrawal of nil the constitution-
al delegates of the Republicans ex-
cept Henry Asp brings to mind the
work the Santa Fe railway did In the
passage of the statehood bill.
It has been recalled that immedi-
ately ufter the statehotd bill passed
Frank Greer through the State Capi-
tal (raised Henry' Asp very highly
Uor the part he took in the framing of
tho enabling act and in Its passage.
It was a matter of comment among the
men from Oklahoma who worked In
Washington during the days when tho
statehood bill was being considered
that tho special agont of tho Santa Fo
railway was the only man who was
able to visit the congressional com
irlttee any time day or night when It
was In session. "
In an editorial dated June 20th
Frank Greer In tho Capital whioh is
the Santa Fo railway's organ In this
territory stated that to Henry Asp
was duo tho provisions of the enabling
act It waa virtually stated by Greer
ft Henry Asp wroto tho enabling
In that editorial it was also
stated i at Mr. Asp's expenses wore
not met by Guthrie so it Is to be pre-
sumed of course ho was there as the
attorney of tho Santa Fe railway and
that in dictating the provisions of the
ouabllug act we have It on Mr.
Greer's authority that tiie Santa Fe
railway wroto the enabling act for
Oklahoma. It Is easy to understand
why the great Injustice ot placing
election machinery in the hands of
the corporation tools in this territory
was dono.
Evnry Judge- In Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory owes his appointmont
to tiio interests of the railroads of
Oklahoma When tho Santa Fo railway
dictated tho provisions of tho enabling
act it placed Its own tools at tho head
of tho election machinery of the now
state.
The Injustice that has been dono
the people was dono by tho Santa Fo
railway for tho purpose of enabling
tho railway corporations tp write tho
constitution.
It Is not much wonder that Henry
Asp Santa Fo representative is now
candidate for tho constitutional con-
vention. It Is not surprising that the
Santa Fo officials have been congre-
gated in Guthrie and mouey being
poured In thero to provide for tho
election of their representative who
according to Frank Greer wrote the
enabling act. Having dictated the
i.ro visions of tho enabling act In the
national congress It Is no presump-
tion on the part of the Santa Fe rail-
way with the assistance of the other
railroads of the ttute to demand the
right to make the constitution
This is the exact situation in Okla-
homa today it comes from the best
corporation source of the state the
Santa Fe railway's organ whose edt"
tor is Frank Greer owned and con-
trolled by Henry Asp. It Is known
that these corporations aro ready to
spend a million dollars If necessary.
to make it possible for Henry Asp to
In rite the constitution.
It is to bo a fieroe tight between
Ithe Santa Fe railway backed by the
'other corporations ot the state and
tho people. Evory offort is being
made to prejudice the poopls against
the Democrats and it will be their
chief aim from this day on until elec
tlon to throw sand in the eyes ot the
people whllo they carry out their
game to make it possible to continue
their policy of wholesale robbery.

eral Funston who is oxpeeted to ar-
rive In Washington today probably
will leave immediately for Cuba. Sec-
retary Taft desires to make use ot
Funston's knowledge of the Island
secured during the Spanish war.
There Is to be no detail la eking in
a Cuban campaign if Uncle Sam de-
cider to step In.
A new Cuban Hag has been ordered
prepared and new military maps of
ths Island are now being drawn.
The high state or preparedness by
the government fcr the possible In-
vasion of Cuba la shown by Uie fact
that estimated transportation of five
thousand troops to tiiat island Is
causing the war department no worry.
Tills can be better appreciated when
it is learned that tiie only army
transport now available for that pur-
post Is the Sumner which Is under-
going repairs in New York harbor.
The surprising fact leaked out this
afternoon that the general staff has

It Is not known positively how
