The indications are that there will

statehood sentiment during Tie sum
mer and it will not be at all sursris-
ing if the high water mark Of enthu
slasm for the double steters is
reached before the Fify-ninth con.
eress assemblies. The failure of the
senate and house to agree on the Bev-
eridge-flandlton bin has greatly en-
couraged those who oppose auy kiaC
Of statehood and they are using the
double statehood cry as club to pre-
vent the passage Of any legislation.
There are in Indian Territory some
few who desire two states made Of

believe this can he done There are
some persons VINO desire conditions
