REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
South McAlester. I. T, March 19.-Gover-
nor Green McCurtin Of the Choctaw Nation
has taken a decisive stand against the alb
sorption of the Indian Territory by Okla
homa or the addition of any part Of the
Territory to Oklahoma at any time. In this
view he Is sustained by the Governors and
leading men of the five civilized nations.
who recently petitionad Congress to leave
the Territory intact until separate statehood
could be granted.
The latest movement on the part Of the
Indians is more important than any pre-
vlous efforts. They propose to lead the
whites In holding a Constitutional Conven-
ton. forming State Independent Of Okla
homa and to knock at the doors of Con-
gress for admission into the Union in 1906.
when all the tribal governments are to be
abolished by treaty.
Governor McCurtin has taken the initia-
tive in this matter. He has addressed a
letter to each Of the Governors in the In
dian Territory, in which he says that he Is
convinced that 1t is the duty Of the In
dams composing the five civilized tribes to
make one supreme effort to erect a State
out Of the present boundaries Of the Indian
Territory.
Governor McCurtin probably has more In
nIence than any man in the Territory.
