ritOry Before the Advent
Of State hood.

Secretary Gulick, OF the Territorial
Good Roads Association is sending
the following communication to all
the newspapers Of The Indian Terri
tory:
Dear Sir: As editor Of newspaper
you are well aware that the only
movement that has come before the
people OF tile Indian Territory that
has no enemies is the Good Roads
/ proposition. The territorial movement

ary 26th and 9th Of this year, by the
National Good Roads Association, and
as far as possible a vice president was
selected for every incorporated town
in the territory. These gentlemen
have been notified of their appoint
ment and they have been requested to
at once organize a local association for
their town.
The territorial organization thus
completed has for its purpose the edu-
cation Of tpe people to the benefits
and advantages of Good Roads and the
best way 10 build them, and it is the
desire II he organization to have the
newspapers of the territory take up
the matter and push ii along with all
their accustomed strength and energy.
A constitutional convention for the
new state will in all probability be
called sometime he coming summer,
but before nat is called it is hoped
that every town In the territory will
have an acliA Good Roads ASsocia-
tion, 81 before he constitutional con-
