Brands as False Imputation That He Has Been "Influenced” on Statehood Question. By Private Leased Wire. Washington, June 15.—Incident the adoption of the conference report on statehood In the house yesterday, Speaker Cannon left the chair and from the floor answered Delegate Smith, of Arixona, who a ahort time before had made what was regarded as Insinuations that undue Influence had been used to affect the speaker's position on the question of statehood. The speaker measured every word he said, and was frequently Interrupted by applause from both sides of the house. At the conclusion of his speech Democrats ahd Republicans gathered about the speaker and shook hie hand. After calling Mr. Dalxell to the chair, the speaker stepped to' the nearest aisle and, addressing the chair, asked for live minutes in which to stats his position. He aald he had alwaya tried to represent his constituents and the people at large to the best of hfs Judg ment. The coming Into the Union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, he skid, met his approval. He said ha would prefer to sea each come separ ately with an aggregate population of 2,500,000, with four senators, than to tee Arixona and New Mexico come to getlidr with a population of about 300, 000 with four senators. Continuing, he said: ^Although every man In the Indian Territory should vote against state hood for the now proposed new state of Oklahoma, notwithstanding that prplest the state would be and will be farmed under this enabling act. There Is h6 separate vote there. There Is a separate vote, however, as to ths other two. I would not have taken the floor had not the honorable- gentleman, the delegate from Arixona (Mr. Smith) made the remark that there was a high penalty for the governor of that territory to attempt to Influence legis lation, or for one legislative body or Its membership to attempt to traffic In legislation with the other In order to secure certain other legislation. If I correctly state him. That remark could not have had but one. motive and one meaning, nnd that meaning Is that some one In the house has sought to affect legislation In the house aa a matter of traffic In order to secure ac tion upon this matter In the senate. That Imputation Implied, ao far aa I know or believe upon any other mem ber of thle house, Is unworthy of the gentleman that uttered It, and It with■ out foundation In fact."
