BETRAYED THEIR TRUST.

The action Of some or the delegates
TO the St Louis convention TO have
incorporated in the platform a double
statehood plank, or in other words a
statehood plank, separate from okla.
homa, has aroused storm Of protest
from many Of the single statehood ad.
vocates who feel that the delegates
are taking undue advantage OF the
territory and of the convention which
selected them.
The Dutant convention refused in
positive terms to endorse single or
double statehood, thinking il very un.
wise at the time to express itself II
is a fact that the men who are for
double statehood should not betray
the trust roposed in them by yiolat-
ing Tn wishes of the people any
more than the single statehood men
should attempt TO have single state
hood endorsed
Statehood is not an issue with the
people. It probably IS with the poll
tIcians, ani there is where the trou.
