INDIAN TERRITORY A FOOTBALL.
Representative MeRea's Strong Plea
for Indian Territory People.

for Indian Territory People.
After calling attention TO the great
wrong which had been done the ter
ritories through the appointment of
outsiders TO offices, Mr.. Knox said:
Il am glad, as a Republican, that
am a member Of party which has
pledged itself to home rule for these
territories, and that the Republican
party has kept its pledges
Mr.. McRea of Arkansas, at the con
clusion OF Knox's speech. offered an
amendment to the bill which added
all of the Indian Territory to Okla
homa. and made the two territories
one state. Mr.. McRea is an impas-
stoned speaker. He announced that
he wanted it understood that he did
not object to the admission of Okla
homa. He thought Oklahoma was
| thoroughly prepared for statehood
What he did object to was the willing
ness Of congress 20 leave the Indian
territory as q football, TO be kicked
around by people who knew nothing
about the conditions that prevailed
there. McRea contended that the
proposed bill was unfair to the Ter
ritory. He insisted that il was an
outrage to permit Oklahoma to organ.
ize and have its state affairs adjusted
without reference to the Indian Ter
ritory, and then finally force Indian
Territory into statehood with the or
ganized state. Oklahoma had only
10 population TO the square mile,
while Indian Territory had 12. He
regretted to hear his political friends
assert that it was better to have two
sta, ., and therby get two sena-
tors, to offset the senators from some
Of the small eastern states. He thought
in a measure of this kind congress
should rise above partisan politics
and attempt 70 legislate for the best
interest of all the people

Tax Assessor. w. r. Roberts has
completed his tour Of the city asses
sing property. he has also taken an
accurate census Of bona fde residents
of the city and gave out the figures
yesterday afternoon as St65. To this
number We modestly claim a transient
population OF two thousand and at
the present time we doubt If those

Ardmore therefore has without boast
a population exceeding ten thousand

rolls around will have FIVE thousand

DR., FRANK ". STIFF
WAS THEIR CHOICE
Elected to School Board Over
MT. Charles E. Brewer by
Vote Of 28 to IA.

Unexpectedly and much to the surprise
OF no small number of local politicians
DR.. Frank W. Stiff was last night elect
ed as a member of the School Board by
the Beard OF Aldermen and Common
Council in joint session. The successful
candidate will fill the unexpired term OF
Mr.. j. c. Dickerson, resigned.
The vote by which Dr.. Stiff was chosen
was twenty-eight to fourteen, Mr. Charles
e. Brewer being the defeated seeker of
the office.
Immediately after the session was call
ed to order by President Turpin, the clerk
read the resignation of Mr.. Dickerson.
Upon motion of Mr.. Elicit, the paper was
accepted, and the chair announced that
nominations were in order.
Alderman J. 4. Wood. of Jerrerson
Ward. arose, and placed the name of Dr.
Stiff before the joint body. The nomination
was seconded by Mr.. Ferguson
Air Mann then secured the floor and
offered the name of Ar. Brewer, who. he
said had proven his excellent Qualities
while a member of the City. Council. He
sincerely hoped that he would be elected.
Mr.. Elicit seconded this nomination. The
nominations were closed. and the vote
was as follows:

would be elected without opposition. A
number OF his ardent supporters and
friends credited such reports. Their sur.
prise at his defeat may easily be i'm
agined. It appears. however, that sew
$eral days ago, in fact since it first be-
came known that Mr.. Dickerson pro-
