cKNNoN on STATEHOOD.

The st. Louis Republic seems de-
termined to convince itself that sepa-
rate statehood really means something

Cannon is not yet speaker Of the house
in the Fifty-ninth congress. though he

however. that the great Republican
majority in the new house win suffer

or sequoyah separately. The new con-
gress is tolefably certain to admit
Oklahoma, and thcre is every reason

Mr.. Cannon's opinion that only one
state sought to be made of Oklahoma

its face against doing anything that

be any new state at all in the South

Mr. Cannon presumes entirely too
much on his expected power of boss

against separate statehood. Other
and abler members OF congress do not
agree with him. Senator Clapp OF Min
