Speaks in BehaIf Of ollahoma.

Speaks in Behalf of Oklahoma.
Il have this to say about Oklahoma:
It should be admitted as a state with
out further delay It should not be
crucif1ed to satisfy the desire for spo-
lftfcaI revenge. Oklahoma and Indian
territory ought to be admitted as a
state, regardless of the action on New
Mexico and Arizona. The two affairs
should not be linked together. Per-
sonally I think that New Mexico =and
Arizona are also ready for statehood.
believe it is the intent of the consti-
tuition that a territory shall be adj
mitted as soon as it is able to bear
hood.
Oklahoma is fully qualified for
statehood, and ought to. be admitted
without further delay"
