1t is understood that the committees

program of creating two states out of
the four territories, but 1t will not be
a surprise IL this program fails to
meet the approval of a majority of the
republican senator's and representa-

hood for these four southwest terri

many senators and representatives
have personally investigated the exist

the result is that public sentiment
among public men is crystallizing in
favor of the plan of admitting Okla
