Moreover , the effotts of tile republican Ieadcr to bring about an early adjournment have to be taken into consIderatIon , and time d&egates do not care to have the bill suspended in conference or between the house and senate when congress adjourns. It is expected that the commnttee on terr- tories will report the Oklahoma statehood bill this week , anti then Delegate Flynn vllI center with lila two cohleagucs lIjOfl their line of actIon.
