The Election Uncertain.

At the close of the campaign of
1900, both parties are claiming
the election Of their candi-
dates by overwhelming major
tiles. while undoubtedly both
sides are fearful of the outcome
Political leaders of both parties
agree that a campaign was never
known when such large numeer
of voters refused TO express an
opinion. and it is believed that
this silent vote will decide the
election and both express the be-
lief that they will capture it. On
the surface it looks as if the Dem
ocratic faith was the best found
ed, ss the Republican attempt to
make the money issue the leading
one, has failed to bring the re-
spOnse frOT the body OF voters
expected and shows that graver
questions are occupying the minds
of the voters and the Democrats
have every reason TO believe that
ii is favorable 10 them. A land
slide for Bryan would not prove
a surprise to many while McKin-
ley may give an equal surprise of
doing as well as four years ago.
One thing seems to be settled,
which ever is elected. the major
ity will be so decided that there |
can be no bubble over it.

The question Of statehood for
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
is subject that should absorb more
of the public attention than it does.
That Oklahoma is gong to make a
big effort to secure statehood this
winter Is beyond doubt, and that
she should getIt is beyond question.
What is the Indian Territory to do
in the meantime Is another question
There is but little doubt that con-
gress will never admit the one
without the two as one. 1t has also
been suggested that the Indian Ter
rItory can be admitted with Okla
homa and the Indian questions set
tied after. With this, and with the
fact that Oklahoma is to make an
effort, any effort to win, to be ad-
mitted as a state with the Indian
Territory it is time the Indian Ter
ritory WIS moking an effort to get
In on the motter and protect its
own right.
A single statehood club has been
formed at Wagner, and that club
asks the cooperation of other parts
of the territory. If there are any
who believe that this is the proper
thing in Chickasha why not get to-
gether and organize. Organization,
agitation and push are the only
means TO accomplish anything on
tlis line. We all appreciate the
desperate condition that exists here
and how much better we would be
were the conditions different. We
can only get change by working
for it. Shall we do il;

Look out for hot time in the
next congress on the question of
apportionment. The present lower
house of congress consists of 375
members, being / representative
for each 174,0O0 population. If
this basis should be continued il
will give Us about 43O congress-
men, which will make it a very
unweildy body. Several northern
papers are beginning rema rks up
on negro disfranchisement in the
south and congressional reap
pointment, claiming these states
which have deliberately disfran-
chised a large number of their
voters have forfeited their right,
under the constitution, to their
present representation in the
house. To increase the basis so
as to continue the present number
of representatives, each member
would represent about 100000
people and would render il not
much of a popular legislative
body.-Decatur Messenger.

Many papers and people in
both Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory continue to agitate the ques-
tion of bringing the Territory, in
connection with Oklahoma, in as a
state. Heretofore the Leader has
beenopposed to it but it would be
wise plan. We would ask those
opposing it ifthe conditions could
possibly be made harder for our
people, and if there is not a chane
for an Improvement. We can see
nothing. for at least eight or ten
years. that will possibly be done
tor our peoples relief as affairs
are now running. If the Indian
Territory can be admitted as a
state with Oklahoma the coming
year, would it not be better for
our people than to hold back for
eight or ten years and possibly
for a long period! We say let
her be admitted. Give the 400,-
900 people of this country what
they are entitled to, and that is a
right to govern themselves. This
is Democratic doctrine, is is a
part of our constitution .-Lehigh

MURDERER IS LYNCHED.
Negro Taken from Officers and
Hanged to Telephone Pole
r. ~ In Pueblo, Col.

Pueblo, Col. May 23.-Calvin Kim
blern, a negro murderer, was lynched
by mob of 1900 citizens who took him
from train in the outskirts of the city
at 1920 this Wednesday, morning.
The sheriff's officers and the city au-
thorities were helpless against the
throng of infuriated men, and after
a short resistance realized the useless
ness of continuing the struggle and
surrendered the prisoner. Kimblern
had killed two little girls at the Fries
''orphans' home in this city in an
especially atrocious manner, and the
townspeople swore that they would
avenge the crime. When news was re-
ceived during the night that the negro
had been arrested in Denver crowds as
sembled in public places and prepared
for the dealing out of speedy Justice.
AS soon as it was known that KIM
blern would be brought here to-day
the mob arranged details of the plan
to lynch the black man. Guards were
placed at the depots and the greater
part of the mob fastened to the out
skirts of the city, where the train
could be intercepted before reaching
the thickly-settled districts. AS the
train slowed down hundreds of men
clambered aboard the cars. soon To-
eating the deputies and their prison.
er. Police officers were on hand, but
they could do nothing to protect the
black, who was carried off by the
| crowd. After Ki1nblern had been
identified he was hanged to a tele-
phone pole at the corner of Santa Fe
and Eighth streets, and the crowds
