what did yoa learn in the me-
tropolis that is Of interest to Chick
asha'" was in inquired this morn
ing and then Mr.. johnson proceeded
10 ta!k very interestingly Of his
visit. He stated that he found
the business man of New York in
favor of statehood for the ter
ritories but there was fear that the
New Mexico-Arizona proposition
would stand III The way OF the pas
sage Of the bill. New York, said
Mr.. Johnson, "has learned much
about the territories in the past
two years. The big cottol crop last
year opened the eyes of the east
erners and they are recognizing the
importance of Oklahoma and Ind
ian Territory as a business aud in
dustrial field. They have learned
also that we have progressive, up
to-date towns and cities in this
country and our financial institu-
tions have taken high standing"
Mr.. Johnson mentioned the fact
that the people of the east have an
idea that this entire country is
in cons, ant peril Of disastrous storms
They read the stories Of the Snyder
storm and they seemed TO think that
nearly all Of the territory was
wept away.
Speaking Of the separate stale
convention in Muskogee, Mr.
Johnson said he regretted that il
had been held as its tendency
would be to retard statehood. Hs
regarded il as the last effort Of th'
Indian politicians 10 maintain theil
hold upon the affairs Of the terrific
ry.
Personally. Mr.. Johnson, who i
an Indian citizen, is heartily il
favor of making one great state o
the two territories. He headeS
the Chickasha delegatien at th'
single statehood convention in Ok
ilahoma City and his views repre-
sent the consensus of opinion
among the enlightened Indian cit
izens and the progressive busines
men of Indian Territory, who hav'
no interest in the schemes Of tn
politicians, but are anxious tc
bring about the conditions tina
make for the largest development
of the territory.
