MOVEMENT
WILL NOT DOWN. ANOTHER AGITA-
TION FOR CONSTITUTIONAL CON
VENTION STARTED. TRY TO
FORCE CONGRESS- TOACTION
Single Statehood Executive Committee
to Take the Lead.

The sentiment in favor OF hold
ing a constitutional convention,
says the Guthrie State Capitol,
seems to be growing in favor each
day.
It's suggested by representa-
tive democrats, and republicans
alike that mass single statehood
convention should be held this
spring and the object of the con
vention in addition to showing the
sentiment of the people as favoring
single statehood TO the exclusion
of any other sort, would be to ar
range methods of representation
and set the date and place for
holding constitutional conven-
tion at which both territories would
be represented and at which time
constitution would be framed 10 be
submitted to congress upon con-
vening Of that body with a request
that it be ratified and the state
thus formed admitted to then union
Some who opposed the authori
zatiou of constitutional conven-
ton bv the recent legislature are
in favor of this plan. 1t ispointed
out and agreed that for the legis-
lature to have authorized con-
vention to frame a constitution
would have been unwarranted in
SO far as the expenditure Of public
money was concerned and that
the action of the Oklaho-
ma legislature could not have
bound the Indian Territory at all
while the action of a mass conyen-
ton in which the Indian Territory
shall bear equal participant with
Oklahoma will to moral ex-
tent be binding upon the Indian
Territory.
1t is expected that the single
statehood executive committee will
take action along this line very
soon and if the convention TO ar
range for a constitutional conven-
ton be called at all it will no doubt
be arranged to assemble in May or (,
June. 1t has been suggested that
Shawnee would be the proper place
for holding the mass convention
and Guthrie the right place for the
assembling of the constitutional
convention.
The arguments made by the
friends of the idea are that it will
force congress to act. Either the
constitution offered by the people
of Oklahoma will have to be &C
cepted and ratified or some other
action will be taken. As the mat
ter now stands there are enough |
senators opposed to the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico to as
sure the defeat of any bill carry
ing that proposition. There are
no senators opposed to the admis-
sion Of Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory who care enough abont the
matter to fillibuster against the bill
if it be not entangled with Arizona
and New Mexico.
1t is pointed out by the promo
lers Of the constitutional conven-
ton that no political party need
fear to be gwen TIL worst Of the
plans for the reason
that is patent that no constitution
which is unjust can have any
