FOR SUPREME COURT.
Governor Ferguson Recommends Sep
arate Tribunal for Oklahoma.

In his recommendaticn to the in
terror department for the ensuing year
ior Oklahoma, Governor Ferguson
states that the necessity OF a separate
and distinct supreme bench in place
of the present system becomes yearly
more urgent, because the district
judges who now compose the supreme
court require the entire time in the
district cases. The report shows a
less ccngested condition in the district
courts since the redivision of the ter
ritory into seven instead of five dis
tricts.
