BIG FOUR ARE PLOTTING
OF An Unholy Alliance OF Politicians
Who Want to Go to the
Senate

Col. Bob Owen the Muskogee bank
er, who is numbered among those who
have grown fat over the snaps offered
In the Indian territory under the con-
eltions which prevail there. was in the
city yesterday in conference with Bird
Mcclure. Sidney Clarke and others
whose future political prosperity de-
ponds upon Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritorics becoming separate states.
Col. Owen called the Oklahoman rep
rcsentative aside from group
ard proceeded to interview himself on
the statehood question.
"You people of Oklahoma have given
vogue to the idea that single statehood
is inevitable, while the contrary IS the
true status of the case. The senate is
the ruling body in the United States
congress and never in the world will
Il consent to single state composed
Of Oklahoma and the Indian territory
which world send two democratic SEN
ators to Washington as long as the
republicans have a majority in that
body On the other hand. the demo-
cratic portion of the senate Is solidly
in favor of two states, knowing that
Indian territory. or Jefferson, as 1t
may be called when state. will elect
two democratic senators and believing
that Oklahoma will probably become
democratic state when released
from territoryhood and give the demo
Gratis four new senators.

tax they inflict upon posterity in Ok.
lahoma. What does the business man
and taxpayer OF Oklahoma care about
their ambition? Especially when 1t is
placed in the balance against his inter,
ests and the interests of his children.
There is but one thing for the bust.
ness man to DO in this election, and
that is to declare for single statehood
and lower taxation. 1t is a matter for
not only the present but the future.
All his hopes are wrapped up in it.
and he owes no such a price to any
politician in this territory. The pen.
atty Of double statehood is too great.
The people can not afford to leave
such price for all future generations
to pay on the installment plan. They
can just as easily vote for immediate
statehood FOR both territories as for
one.

fore. This means that vast amount
of land and other property in the In
dian Territory is just about to become
available for taxation, and 1t makes
the argument for single statehood
stronger than it has ever been since
the agitation was commenced. There
is certainly no reason for any man who
has ever been for single statehood in
the past, g. ing back on the proposition
now, when he is nearer than ever to
the realization of his hopes. The bust
ness man is going to take a business
view OF it. 1t is nothing 70 him
whether this or that politician gets into
the United States senate. 1t is ques-
ton CT taxation for the future state.
1t is matter that towers far above
the ambitions Of individuals who aspire
for office. These politicians who are
so desirous of breaking into the Unit
ed States senate will not pay the taxes
for the people of Oklahoma. Some OF
them pay very little OF their own.
They want the salary and the prestige,
regardless OF how much trouble and

be admitted. In the end the result
would be just what the republicans are
clamoring so violently against Just
row-the equal division OF Oklahoma &
school fund.
Anybody can see this proposition.
On the other hand. the democratic
platform demands a statehood that
shall provide at once for the school
funds in the Indian Territory. and thai
they shall then be admitted as one
state, Cd equal terms in every respect
Which is the fair and honest way
protecting the taxpayer. the business
interests and the school fund Of this
! territory?

'Flynn is uralterably opposed to
single statehood. | told him that IL
Indian territory and Oklahoma united
as a state he would find it necessary to
look around for some private business
in which 70 engage, as Indian terrific
ry would promptly relegate him to pri-
vate life. He agreed with me and is
aware that single statehood would
mean his political doom. l told him
that with statehood for Oklahoma
alone he would have a chance for the
future, but | will candidly state that
believe that with statehood Oklahoma
will promptly turn down Flynn and
his crowd | believe that it will be
democratic when it becomes a state"
What we want out here" said Col.
Owen. lis four United States senator's.
This assertion he frequently repeated
and emphasized. And he might have
added, as it was on his mind, that
these senators should be Bob Owen,
Dennis Flynn. Sid Clarke and some
other fellow from the state of Jeffer-
son. The Muskogee banker is the
Mr.. Hyde to Dennis Flynn's DR.. Jekyll,
in aspiration being as much alike as
two peas. Col. Owen spoke in flatter-
ing Mr.. Flynn and said that the
delegate was extremely wise in going
to Connecticut to fawn at the feet of
Senator Platt, as that individual would
have much to do in handling the terri
torial question at the next session Of
congress.
with Oklahoma as a separate state"
said Col owen, patronizingly. okla
homa City will become its capital, but
with single statehood the capital will
be located more centrally"
The colonel was evidently unaware of

A BUSINESS VIEW.

At every convention and in every in
stance where an expression OF senti-
ment upon the subject has been up for
consideration OF Oklahoma. when poll
tics was not factor. the business in
terests OF this territory have resolved
In favor of single statehood. The bust
ness men of Oklahoma are not running
for office. nor are they aspirants for a
scat in the United States senate. If
they we're they might get in such big
rush for statehood that they would
be willing to have their particular
county admitted as a state, as some OF
the politicians now give evidence.
The arguments that have been made
for statehood from a business stand
point are just as true now as ever.
In fact. they are more forceful; for
now the Indian tribes are in state of
dissolution and the lands in the In
dian Territory are about ready for al
lo,ment-a condition precedent to
statehood which has never existed be-

THE GUILTY PARTIES.
The real fellows who are trying to
divide the Oklahoma school fund with
the Indian Territory without any rec

boosting Mcclure and the omnibus
statehood bill.
According to the provisions OF this
omnibus statehood bill. the Indian
Territory may be added piecemeai al

lutely no provision is made for school
lands in tho Indian Territory. In case
that territory should be added piece
