A SERIOUS HANDICAP.
lMnskoree Phoenlx.l

Democratic papers generally |
throughout the territory express the
opinion that whatever chance the Re
pubiicans may have ever had or carry
ing the new state has been destroyed
by the policy pursued at Washington
by Republican officials and territory
appointees. On this subject the Durant
News says:
'.vhe Muskogee Phoenix comes out
in an editorial suggesting the name OF
Tams Bixby for one Of the first sena-
tors when we get statehood. Clarence
was just throwing that little bouquet
at Tams. not that he expected him to
take il seriously. Both of them have
long since learned that Speaker Can
non has thoroughly strangled every
hope Of the Republican party for years
to come in gaining success in this
country"

REPualleAN HANnloAP.

. The MusRogee Phoenix, leading
Republican newspaper, regards the
Republican misrule in Indian -esitory
and the action OF the Republican ma
iority IN congress in dallying with
statehood as a serious handicap to the
party in that part Of the territory The
Phoenix of course takes a brace and
expresses the hope that, in view OF II
all. the local Republicans will be able
TO overcome this handicap and win.
About the question Of whether OF
not they will be able to overcome the
handicap there would be some diverg-
ence Of opinion which could and would
be properly settled at the polls when
elections are held, but that there is a
han6Icap on the Republicans Of Indian
territory and extending almost equally
TO Oklahoma territory, there can be
no doubt.
II is A curious circumstance that ma
tionai leaders who hold the power and
who are apparently Jealous for party
success should have so carelessly and
negligentIy overlooked this handicap
which they we're and are making great
er every day by delay and misrule.

people simple justice and admit theI
