Washington, D. c., Jan. 20-Fau
citizens of Oklahoma, who have unit
ed in a petition addressed to the
United States, are inclined to be
facetious with Senator Bailey OF Tex

would more evenly balance the power
IN the senate between the east and
the west The petition bears the sig
natures of F. M. Gault, j. S. Laugh
miller, d. G. Launse and w. G. Bris-
SAY and reads:
Whereas Hon. Joe Bailey, United
States senator from the great Lone
Star State of Texas, has placed him
self on record as being in favor of an
increased number of senator's in the
west and south. in order that the SEN
ate of the United States may be more
evenly balanced as between the east
and the west and the south; and,
Whereas. as a method of balancing
the United States senate with the west
and the east. Hon. Joe Bailey fayors
the creation of Oklahoma and the In
dian territory into two states, or com
monwealths. in order that there may
be four United States senators, where
but two ought to exist; and.
'h''Whereas, at the time the great
Lone Star State was admitted as one
of the commonwealths of the Unite
States. there was provided in the act
of admission, among other things, that
whenever It so saw At. the great state
of Texas might be divided into four
states which would result in the elee.
tloa OF eight United States senator's,
where but two now exist; which in
crease from two to eight. consequent
upon the division of Texas into four
states. would to large extent balance
the west and the south with the east,
in senatorial strength
Now, thefore, We, the undersigned
citizens Of the territory of Oklahoma
hereby most respectfully petition your
body that you viii at once
take such action as may be commen-
sarate with the subject looking to an
early. division Of the Lone Star State
ilhto four commemorative. in order
that there may be that proper bal
ance created between the east and

PUnited States senator from said great
commonwealth; but. while looking to-
ward division Of the great state OF
( Texas into four commonwealth. we
must humbly petition your honorable
body to look with care to the inter
ests Of Oklahoma and the Indian ter.
ritory. and out Of said domain create
but one commonwealth and two Unit
