Of the former measure All the politicians were
against IT, for the same reasons that have led the
politicians Of New Mexico and Arizona TO oppose the
reunion Of those two Territories and their admission
into the Union as one State. The people Of Okla

however aud the ultimate outcome Of an earnest dis

Fifty-eighih Congress an overwhelming majority Of
the United States Senate was its support
Since the adjournment of Congress- nevertheless the
mining and railroad interests Of Arizona and New
Mexico have undertaken to defeat the joint Statehood
by starting in Indian Territory itself agitation for
separate Statehood On the one hand, their emiss
aries have endeavored to pursuade the Indians that
they would have undispnted control if Indian Terri
tory were admitted as single State; while on the
other hand, the white settlers are warned that BY
serarate Statehood they get rid of the Indians
They have also divided Indian Territory into counties
thus, TO certain extent diverting the attention Of
the inhabitants from the joint Statehood issue
eve do not hesitate to say that there is not
single meritorous argument back Of the artifcial
movement TO secure separate Statehood for Indian
Territory There is a not single influence at work
there against the joint Statehood bill that is not
corrupt influence. II is nothing short Of monstrous
that measure so essentially rghtfu the admission
to the Union Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as

Statea measure which, once adopted will endure as
