SINGLE STATEHOOD
CONVENTION To meet
Eight Hundred Delegates From In
dian Territory and Oklahoma
Will Lay Plans.



Guthrie Ok. June 2o.-In the coming week
there will be two important political meet
ings in Oklahoma, both to consider the
statehood situation and to take some ac'
ton regarding the fight to be made for ad-
mission into the Union.
At Shawnee on June "a the advocates OF
single statehood-one state composed of
both Territories-will meet to consider the
advisablity of calling constitutional con-
vention of the two Territories as a means
of advancing the interests of single state
hood.
AT Guthrie on June 90 the Republican
Territorial Committee will meet. following
the call of Chairman Cash Cade. to discuss
the statehood fight and to indorse. ii Is now
believed the admission of Oklahoma alone
as a State. separate from Indian Territory.
The meeting at Shawnee will be the
greatest convention of its kind ever held
in either of the Territories. There will be
500 delegates, equally divided between Okla
homa and Indian Territory. C. E. Castle
of Wagner. /. r. as chairman Of the Sin
gle Statehood Committee will preside in
opening the convention.
The permanent craftsmanship CT the con-
vention will so to Judge Maxey. Democrat.
of Shawnee. or to Anton Classen, Repub-
lican, of Oklahoma City. Colonel Roy Hoff-
man of Chandler who was Cleveland's ap-
pointee as Deputy United States Attorney
for Oklahoma. is also in the race for the
Craftsmanship.
IN DEEP EARNEST.
The single-statehood leaders are in earnest
in this fight for the union of the Territories.
While in Oklahoma the bulk of the single
Shareholders are Democrats-that being the
Democratic statehood platform in the last
campaign-yet in the Indian Territory,
where single statehood is advocated. both
parties are united in demanding ii.
William Cross. who ran for Congress in
Oklahoma last year on n sinSle-statehood
platform. has already announced himself
for denomination. believing that platform
stronger than ever. He was defeated by b.
s. Mcclure Republican. by less than 800
votes in a total of $500 cast. This showed
the strength of the single-statehood senti-
ment in Oklahoma at that time.
The leaders in Oklahoma for single state
hood declare that as numerous and cogent
as the reasons are for the union of the
Territories in a State. none are perhaps
more important than the commercial ad-
vantages to be secured thereby. a mere
glance. they argue, at the natural and pro-
ductive resources of the two Territories is
sufficient to convince.
Oklahoma Is primarily an agricultural sec
