Shawnee, o. t, May s.-Geo. z. McKin-
mis-, the energetic postmaster eff this city
is in Washington. talking business with
the postaffice department relative TO addi-
tional clerks to handle the business of
the Office here. Immediately after being
indicted into the Office Mr.. McKennis
began work along this line and it be-
came imperative for him to make the
Washington trip. Mr.. MeKinnis is up
against what other postmasters are suf-
fering from in various parts of Okla
homa. Very few Washington officials
realize the tremendous amount Of mail
received in Oklahoma cities and until
these officials do realize this it will be
difficult to secure additional clerks.
When Mr.. McKinnis left here he was very
sanguine of success.

Guthrie, o. T., May 9.-Judge T. P.
Gore, member of the territorial council,
has formally announced his candidacy
for United States senator when state
hood is secured. Judge Gore is known
as the 'blind orator. and if speechmak-
ing has anything to do with the selection
of a Democratic senator, few gentle
men will not be in the ract with the
councillor from Comanche.
Judge Gore intimated, while in the leg
islature, that he might be a candidate
for the United States senate, but no
formal announcement was ever made by
him during the legislative session.

one who stops to think for himself.
1T is a fact, also, that most of the
single statehood. talk has always, been
here in Oklahoma-more of it in Okla

been Systematically worked up and
magnifed into importance by few po-

localities in Oklahoma, bat nobody in
Washington has ever worried over it,
and very few have given it serious at
tention. This was clearly demonstrated
by the debates and votes in the late
congress-
