BRYAN's visit to Ohio has had
two important results that will add
to his strength in that state. One
is the unqualified announcement of
John r. Mclean in his favor,
which is taken to indicate that
Dewey will either accept second
place or that he will gracefully
withdraw. The other was the
speech of Mayor Jones of Toledo
who introduced Bryan to a vast
throng of people in that city and
took occasion to heartily endorse
the candidacy of the Nebraskan
With these two state leaders openly
supporting him his chances of unit
ing the strength of both are good
This would give him the state.

An Effort. Being Made by some to

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Oakland, 1. T.. May THE Frisco
surveyors ran line just east of town
yesterday, this is the line we have
been looking for, for some time. We
do not know that they will build on
it, in fact we know less than we have
at any time.
Every effort is being made to
boom the new town, The first thing
in order is to cripple the interest in
Oakland, get our people divided and
then say to outsiders such and such
men are with us and will move.
We are glad to say that OaklaE d
with a few exceptions is here to
stay and that the nimble frogs that
inhabit the pond near the public
square will be sailing through the
air on golden wings long before
"MadelI' is recognized as town.
Hundreds of people have moved
to this town and spent all they had
for lots and houses. Thinking that
in the near future they would be
able to get titles to these lots and
have G permanent home. And this
would be true if we had been left to
deal only with the railroad officials,
hence we are going to contend legal
ly for our rights as a town recogniz-
ed by the last treaty.
We have near 1900 inhabitants and
many of this number would be left
bankrupt should the town be moved.
Many of the railroad people are
getting places to stay until the road
is built. The officials of the road
left here last Saturday to attend a
meeting at Sapulpa, we expect them
back on Tuesday next when the
| final line will be determined. We
want the matter settled and hope
never to be mixed up in another
state OF affairs as now exists here.
The late hail did but little damage
here, but we learn that on the Wash
ita considerable damage was done
Many will have to replant cotton
other crops are good but needing
work badly.

Washington, ID. c., May The
chances of the enactment of law
giving the Indian Territory terri
torial form of government in the
near future have materially improved
during the last few days. Indeed it
seems probable that this congress
will place such law on the statute
books.
Judge Moon of Tennessee, who
introduced the bill in the house to
create the Territory of Jefferson out
of the present Indian Territory has
had the bill referred to the commit
tee on territories, of which he is a
member, and is confident tLat he
will not only be able to report it out
of that committee but pass it through
the house during this congress. Such
a statement from the author of the
bill is significant as he is one of the
most conservative and prominent
members of the minority party. He
is also very popular with the repub-
licans, especially with those asso-
ciated with him on committee work.
When seen by your correspondent
he said:
"a rough draft of the bill which /
introduced in the house was brought
to me by citizen of the Territory
who asked me to introduce it in the
house. l dislike to introduce meas
ures by request and l did not care
to father the bill until l had had an
opportunity to investigate it. Fin
ally | decided to take the bill and
examine it and if L then thought
proper, introduce it. l found the
bill to be defective in many respects
as l thought, and | made many
changes. They were satisfactory tC
the party from the Territory and ac
cordingly l introduced the bill in the
house and had j. referred to my com
mittee. | believe that the committee
on territories will report the bill
back to the house and that it will
pass that body during this congress
Judging from reports from the Ter
ritory some legislation along the
lines of this bill is badly needed anC
| hope that this bill will become {
law before the adjournment of thii
congress.

Representative Lacey has favorabIy
reported to the house the bill intro
duced by Congressman Stephens of
Texas providing that any incorpor-
ated city or town in the Indian Ter
ritory having a population of one
thousand or more? is authorized to
igsueIbonds and borrow money there
on, to be used for the construction
of sewers, waterworks AMI the build
ing of school houses; such bonds not
which would at per cent. per an
mum, be liquidated by tax of mills
on the dollar of the valuation of the
taxable property in the city or town,
to be attained by the last assessment
for purposes of taxation. The bill
/ also provides that before the bonds
can be issued they must be author
lied by a two-thirds vote of all the
qualified voters of the town or city.
In his report Congressman Lacey
says:
There are nearly 500, ,0O0 white
people living in the Indian Territory
and at present there is no general
authority for municipalities to bor-
row money with which to build
school houses and to provide sewers
and waterworks, The necessity for
such public utilities is toe obvious
for discussion, and we deem it only
necessary to state the fact of the
lack of the same. There are many
prosperous and growing cities and
towns of over 200 population in the
Territory, and they should all be
authorized to make such necessary
improvements as those contemplated
in this bill.'
