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

Col. Bob Owen the Muskogee hank
er, who Is numbered among those who
have grown fat over the snaps offered
In the Indian territory under the con-
tltions 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 ana Indian ter
r,to;ies becoming separate states.
Col. Owen called the Oklahoman rep
rcsoatative aside from a group
and proceeded to interview himself on
the statehood question.
"You people CT 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
L consent to a single state comnosed
OF Oklahoma and the Indian territory
which would send two democratic ser.
ators to Washington as long as thr
republicans have majority in that
body. On the other hand, the demo-
cratic portion oe the senate Is solidly
in favcr of two states. knowing that
Indian territory. or Jefferson, as 1t
may be called when a state. will elect
two democratic senators and believing
that Oklahoma will probably become
n democratic state when released
from territoryhood and give the demo

tax they inflict upon posterity in Ok.
lahoma. What does the business man
and taxpayer Of Oklahoma care about
their ambition? Especially when It 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 fer 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 amy
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.
Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1901-190?, 1902-10-25

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 it 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. gCing 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 oe it, 1t is nothing 70 him
whether this or that politician gets into
the United StatDS senate. II is r. ques-
ton CT taxation for the future state.
II is a matter that towers far above
he ambitions Of individuals who aspire
for office. These politicians who are
80 desirous OF breaking into the Unit
ed States senate will net 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 s
school fund
Anybody can see this proposition.
On the other hand, the democratic
platform demands statehood that
shall provide at once for the school
funds in the Indian Territory, ana that
they shall then be admitted as one
state. on equal terms in every aspect.
Which is the fair and honest way,
protecting the taxpayer. the business
interests and the school fune of tnis
territory?

A BUsINESs VIEW.

Al every convention and in every in
stance where an expression of senti-
nlent upon the subject has been up for
consideration of Oklahoma. when poll
ties was not factor. the business in
tcrcsts of this territory have resolved
I'm 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. II
they were they might get in such big
rush fer 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 a 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 answer Is plain. There is no
other equal and feir way except the
way that is set forth in the democratic
platform, and that way was advocated
by both the South McAlester and Mus
kogee single statehood conventions in
which number of the leading repub-
licans OF Oklahoma participated.

MCGUIRE boosters is the old cry OF

eomplish. But they are going to fall
several thousand votes short OF their
target this year.

AGAINST A THIRD TERM.

While a party paper is expected TO
give loyal support to the ticket placed
in nomination 1t should recognize the
right of members OF the party 10 dis
crlminate in their choice of public
servants where fitness and unusual
conditions exist. Party fealty is very
strong in this country and it is proper
that it should be, for IL men are not
loyal and true to the organization
and principles Of their party it will
soon become "a thing of threads and
patches" and impotent to accomplish
great results.
However. a party and its leaders
are not infallible. Through i~nertness
or Indifference MISTAKES are made. In
the primaries and in the nominating
conventions there IS a lack OF inter.
est or a failure to properly gauge the
sentiments Of the voters as to what
they will demand in the way of fit
ness and eligibility of candidates who
must seek their suffrage at the polls.
II Is much easier to ascertain what
the candidates want than to learn
just what the people demand. The
latter Is learned after election, when
it is too late to profit by the knowl,
edge.
Judging from the result of the re.
cent election the people Of Fergus
county are emphatically opposed to
the third term in office. Although
there might be some exceptions in an
instance of great popularity and eff.
ficiency as a general proposition there
is no doubt as to the verdict of the
people.
The Republican party of this coun-
ty has received a dear but wholesome
lesson, but one 1t will profit by. In
naming candidates it must try and
find out the wishes of the people first.
| While 1t named competent and tried
men, there were others in the party
just as good and fully as deserving,
who could have filed their places.
1t is not %infrequent also that IAN
didates ask for a nomination who have
no conception of their own weakness,
although it Is we'll known to others.
They should not be allowed to han
dicap the ticket by a nomination.
| With more care in conventions and
effort made to find out what the peo-
pie want the blunders Of this year can
| assured for the whole ticket.

SOME TElLTALE FIGURES.

A study of the figures in the vote
at the recent election. taking the vote
on congressman as a basis, show
a loss in Republican precincts of 237
votes, or 16 per cent, and a gain in
Democratic precincts of 1888. or 80 per
cent, compared with the vote of 1900.
Although the county has grown
steadily in population in the past two
years and the voting strength has
been estimated at from 200 to 5000,
the total vote this year will not ex-
coed 2,24O against 2.263 two years
ago.
Since 1900 the voting strength OF
Kendall has increased from 20 to 1879
and that of Gilt Edge from 25S to
295. The former went Democratic on
| congressman by al and the latter by
81, and in neither instance does 1t
show the actual Democratic strength,
as some Democrats voted for Dixon
out of personal preference.
While the Republicans made gains
in two or three Democratic precincts
they lost in nearly all of the precincts
which have been regarded heretofore
as strongholds of the party. In near
ly all precincts save those in the
mountains there was a heavy falling
of from registration.
Some comparisons with the vote OF
two years ago in outside precincts
will suffice TO show bow the Republi-
cans failed to land at least three of
their candidates. In 1900 1870 votes
were cast at Utica. in 1902 120; Gar
nell los, this year 90; Ross Fork "a,
this year "a; Forest Grove 43. this
year SO; Grass Range So, this year
40; Box Elder lG, this year 80; Ju-
dith ~, this year IL; Flatwillow 81.
this year 10; Lavina "a, this year 10;
Edgewater Is. this year 10.
The above are only a few of the
precincts out of the many showing
Republican losses by the failure to
vote. Being an off year a falling of
in the party vote was expected but
not to the extent shown in the result.
