those responsible for it,
I'VE of Greer county are divided on the
statehood question. Personally, being a
Democrat, 1 am in favor of single state
hood, even if we have to wait for it. But
there is a strong sentiment in southwest
ern Oklahoma in favor of any kind Of
statehood the idea being that it would be
better than the present territorial form of
having all our matters censored at Wash
ington. Which ever way the matter is
settled. Oklahoma will survive, as the
territory is a wonder and will prosper
under any sort of conditions.
