Oklahoma City Gazette: The present
| Indian leaders base their supremacy on
antagonism to the whites, yet all their
| elements of superiority are derived from
white blood and white learning. Iheir
| chief argument, to the full bloods, is the
| danger of white control, and still there Is
not full blood Indian at the head OF any
| one of.the Five nations. This anamoly
| does not occur to the full blood voter be
cause he never reads and scarcely listens
| to discussion of any question in which
| the opposition are allowed TO speak
| plainly.
The real opposition to allstment and
! statehood comes from these men. They
| fear that the overflow OF the tribal rela-
tions will be an end to their power. On
the contrary, if the Indians accepted citi-
zenship and became full voters no state or
national election would ever be held with
out giving the Indians a very full show on
| the ticket. Their power as political FAC
tors would be increased rather than di-
minished TheIe is no position In the
state, nor in the gift of the state, to which
an Indian might not reasonably aspire. Ii
the territory were admitted now, with the
| full boundaries of the present Indian Ter
ritory, it would have $780, 900 people in one
! year from the date of admission. This
would give us four, and probably five, con
gressmen, of whom at least two would
| certainly be Indians, as they would hold
| the balance of power in the new state.
