STATEHOOD QUESTION.
Discussed at Convention Composed Of
Creek and Seminole Delegates.

Okmulgee, I. T., Jan. 30.-Over 300
delegates representing thirty-nine cit
les of the Greek and Seminole nations
were present at the convention hid in
this city. IL was tn largest meeting
ever held in the Indian Territory to
discuss pandlng and prospective legis-
lation.
A esolution passed endorsing the
administration and an agreement was
reached advising the plan known as
'the piecemeal plan" looking to state
hood with the admission of the Creek
and Seminole nations at once.
The attendance was much larger
than expected. The program of the
day commenced with a big parade and
there were two bands in the city. The
opera house in which the meetings
we're held was crowded to the limit.
An address of welcome was delivered
by Okmulgee's mayor. who was follow
ed by many others who took up the
question of the meeting.
Promptly at o'clock p M, Mr..
Charles II. Myers. Of Okmulgee, called
the convention to order and proceeded
to the election of a temporary chair
man. This was the signal for hot
contest, MuskOgee, Holdenville and
several other delegations espousing
Hon n. NJ Tate. of Wewoka, for that
position, and Okmulgee and the bal
ance throwing their votes for Judge
Orlando Swain, United states commits
sioner After some little balloung
among tho delegations, the roll was
called and Judge Swain was found 10
be the leader by a substantial major
ity. Hon. n. G. Turk, of Checotah,
was chosen for temporary secretary.
Three committees were then ap-
pointed, with delegate from each
representation on each committee.
They we're the committees on resolu-
tions, permanent organization, and ere
dentials. The credentials committee
found that there was a lrge delegation
from every town, comparatively, IN
both nations. Okmulgee took the lead
having over so delegates. The com
mittee on permanent organization, rec
commended that the appointment of the
temporary officers be made permanent
This was carried
The only fight that developed during
the meeting was whether Il would be
best to endorse the piecemeal plan OF
statehood legislation, or to advocate
the admission of the two territories on
an absolutely equal basis as provided
by bills of that character now pending
in both branches of congress.
The convention seemed pretty even
~ divided on this matter and 1t had
to be threshed out on the floor of the
convention.
Finally the advocates of piecemeal
statehood succeeded in passing a reso-
luton endorsing the bill now in con-
gress which provides for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma with the Creek and
Seminole nations attached, LAS ses-
sion and a provision for the absorp-
ton of the other three nations as soon
as they are ready to be taken in, all
to be known as the state of Oklahoma,
A feature of the convention was that
every person who so desired were ad-
mitted as delegates, and every one
had a voice in the debate if he want
ed to. 1t was a red hot meeting and
there were republicans enough pres
.ent to carry Oklahoma and tho Chick
asaw nations combined.

NoAH's ARK.

IL is really very curious, that Noah's

are a hermit people. They have kept
themselves to themselves. Mr.. Lum.

centuries, long before Cortes came TO

as to where they got 1t.

To the Democrats of Indian Territory:
/ have Just returned from a session
OF the Democratic National Committee
in Washington d. c. at which all sec
tions OF the United States were re-
presented. II was determined to hold
the next Democratic National Conyen-
tion for the nomination of a President
and Vice President in St Louis, Miss
ouri on July 6, 1904.
The meeting was harmonious and
enthusiastic and reports from many
OF the usually doubtful states Indicated
wide spred disafectionin the Republi-
can Party, and pointed 10 a sweeping
Democratic victory this year
The importance of early, active or
ganization in every section of the
United States was fully agreed upon.
If every democrat does his duty success
is assured.
/ respectfully call to the attention
OF every Democrat in the Indian Terr-
itOry the necessity for party organiza-
tion not only in the towns, but every
hamlet.
There are pending In Congress sever
al measures for statehood for the
Indian Territory and wheather any OF
these measures will become a law at
the present session is problematic
yet il behooves the Democratic Party
to be ready TO safeguard with ballots
the intrests of the people.
Within few days I Will be furnished
with the proper blanks for the organ
ization Of Democratic Campaign Clubs
and upon application viii be pleased
10 furnish these blanks to every dis

Harvard was not without brilliant play
ers for Starr, who went into the game
in the second half, drove his men with an
energy that threatened the Pennsylvania
line. Brill also played an excellent game

Referee Edwards. Harvard and Pennsyl-
yania were both penalized for offenses IN

crookedness Stopped.

Much crookedness in civil service ex-
aminations has been stopped by the re-
cent issuance of orders requiring that
a photograph must be attached by each
applicant 10 his or her examination pa
pers. The photographs must not be more
than three years old and Il must be ac-
companied by an official certification that
1t is a good likeness. The photograph and
sample OF the applicants handwriting
will be sent for comparison to the chief
of the division to which he is assigned
The order was the result of the discoy-
cry that many dummies were being END
ployed to take examinations for appli-
cants, and were paid either a fixed sum
or a percentage of the applicants salary
each month after appointment. The de-
velopment of incompentency after a high
standing on examination by many APP
polntees excited suspicion and the dunn
my scheme vas revealed by Investigation.
The frauds were especially lMge in con-
nection with places in the Philippines.
