OKLAHOMA Ci17Y NOTES.
OKLAHOMA CITY, O. T., July 1S.-
Especial. THE magni 6ceut speech de-
nyered by Hon. Frank AtcMasters of Pur
cell Oh statehood is elici ting much favor
able comment. 1t presents the matter in
new light, in that it seems that when
the Louisiana territory was purchased 1t
was with the express un cerstanding that
'the ceded territory shall be incorporated
in the Union of the Uni ted States" No
provision was made for the establishment
of the quasi-Indian governments. The
whole speech was replete with timely sug-
gestions and ire futable statements.
Gradually a new phase of the statehood
question is developing. The civilized
tribes, recognizing the inevitable. have
begun to agitate the question OF double
sJatehood-a state for themselves. This,
10 any intelligent man, Is lmu'racticabIe.
IL would bankrupt the tribes and instead
OF one strong state; we would have two
weaklings. The agitation now existing
among the tribes Is Fastening statehood.
The thinking men among them know that
they have notblngJ Ito fear so Tar the
balance OF power goes, as they VII! out
mum Der Oklahoma two to one when it
comes to votes. They know also that
far as public institutions 20 none are per-
manently located Politically the admin
istration has nothing to fear with the five
tribes included in Oklahoma. Slowly the
average citizen IN that country Is coming
to an appreciation of the fact that the
masses have been duped by few leaders,
whose only Thought Is self-aggrandiZe-
ment, and that nnless there be change
there will be nothing for them. The ma.
nipulators are at war among themselves
and the good time is coming when the
Cherokee, Chlckasaw, Choctaw, Creek
and Seminole Will with one voice demand
single statehood.
The introduction of diseased cattle into
Oklahoma is waking up the people.
