VENTloN AT MUsKoGEE, DE-
CLARE FAITH IN THE TERRI
ToRlAL WHITE MEN, AND NO
OTHERS - POPULATION, AREA
AND RESOURCES CLAIMED TO
BE AMPLE - WANT CONGRESS
TO REDEEM A PROMISE.

Muskogee, |. T., Sept. 16.-Just at
present, the main business in the In
dian Territory has to do with state
hood.
Indian Territory has arisen with a
demand that it not only be admitted,
but independently of Oklahoma. En-
ergy, characteristic of men building up
new country, and a strong line or
argument, figure in the project. Pop
ulation estimates range from 100000
to 100000. The former seems safe.
The great mass of these people are
Americans of the highest type, who
have come here from all of the states
of the Union. There are only $4,000
Indians, less than one to eight whites.
OF the Indians, only about 10000 are
fullbloods. There are not more than
10000 blanket" Indians in the terri
! tory.
In the variety and wealth of its nat
ural resources the territory will stand
comparison with the best tof the
states.
The Indians and the whites are
working harmoniously for separate
statehood. A convention was called
by the chiefs of the five civilized
tribes and two hundred delegates were
elected. A large majority of the dele
gates were Indians. The stranger
however. would not have guessed the
presence of a score of Indians in the
assemblage. The big men of the
tribes are highly educated and we'll
to-do. Among them in the conven-
ton were business and professional
men, farmers and stock raisers. The
best of many able speeches at the con-
vention was delivered by S. p. Homer,
a fullbloOd Choctaw, who is a Har-
ward graduate.
Much of the oratory was of the high
grade Texas type. When the fellows
of that class got after the corpora
tion lawyers and misguided press" fa-
vorable TO joint statehood and paint
ed the glories of this territory, there
was music in the air.
Prepare Constitution.
A committee of fifty-two drafted a
constitution which will be submitted
to the people in November. Its
friends claim that over 100000 votes
will be cast for its adoption.
Whether the territory gets state
hood jointly or separately with Okla
hOma, the action of the Indians in
calling this convention is regarded as
of importance. Here, for the first
/ time they express a desire for the full

We once had a Judge OF this district
