CLARK ISSUES A CALL
Hon Sidney Clark, chairman of Okla
homa's statehood executive committee
has called a statehood convention TO
meet at Shawnee on December 4, 1895,
Shawnee is in the extreme eastern por-
ton of the territory nearest the Creek
Choctaw and Cherokee nations, and it
IS expected a number of delegates from
those ma tions will be present and take
part in the deliberations. The conven-
ton promises to be the largest and
most important statehood meeting ev-
er held in The territory.
Mr.. Clark expressed himself as GER
tain that the incoming congress will
give Oklahoma an enabling act and
within a year or eighteen months. pos
ssibly at the election in 1896, the conSti-
tuition can be submitted to the voters.
He thinks statehood will be given to
Oklahoma with ne present bounda-
ries, but hopes that the lines may be
thrown around the whole of the Indian
territory. with a provision that the ma
tons can be attached ais soon as land
is taken in severaaty, and the Indians
become citizens. If this cannot be ac-
complished. efforts will be made to at
tach at least the Chickasaw nation,
the leading men of that nation being
favorable TO the project.
Oklahoma's population is 100000 or
more. and she has an assessed valua-
ton of $50. 900 900 and win make grand
state even if statehood is given her
alone.
A strong delegation will be sent 10
Washington from Oklahoma and the |
Chickasaw nation TO push the claims |
for statehood.
