their personal troubles against each
other. The Republican party in the
proposed First district care nothing
about this personal scrap. They are
interested wholly and solely in the
success Of the party and are bitterly
opposed to furnishing political capi-
tai for the Democracy during the com
ing campaign Instead of fighting
each other let these men who have
both been highly honored by their
party use their efforts as earnestly for
the party's welfare and upbuilding as
they have in denouneing each other
and the rank and file Of the party
would applaud them both. No one
man is greater than his party and this
is particularly so in Oklahoma at this
time Personal politics have had their
day in this territory.

Asp nEsERNEs cREnlr.

When on the ninth day OF last December a dele.
cation Of $50 statehood boomers from Oklahoma and
Indian Territory reached Washington. anG headed by
brass band and a razorback shoat for mascot not
a man in the crowd nor for that matter, man in
congress could foresee the rough sailing that has
proven ahead Of the joint statehood bill There was
then prospect that the House would give the people
of the territories joint statehood Christmas gift
and that the Senate would fall in behind with belated
New Years present There was small minority to
ride over. and the Philippine tarih bill had not yet
developed that thorn IN the Speakers side the band
OF Hoase insurgents Neither had the unpopuarty
OF Senator Beveridge loomed up a factor In the
ease In due course of time the insurgents in the
House were routed and Senator Beyeridge run over
peIl nell in the Senate ana the statehood bill sent
to conference where It has been hanging fire for
weeks over the sole question OF whether Foraker
can make Cannon eat mud whether Cannon can
humble Foraker.
Meanwhile the future OF thousands and thousands
Of little school children and the development of two
great territories hinges upon whether be
brought to accept the second Foraker amendment or
whether Foraker will recede and accept his first
amendment Strange It may seem these amend
ments that are keeping out Oklahoma and indian
Territory have nothing whatever to do with these
two territories but involve only the question whether
New Mexico and Arizona shall vote upon accepting
joint statehood before or after constitutional con
yention has been held Everything affecting Indian
Territory and Oklahoma has been agreed to by the
conferees yet the fate of these two territories is
made to depend whether Cannon or Foraker can
whip out on one detail in regard to Arizona and New
Mexico. The result Of this personal difference be
tween these two servants of the people again de-
pends upon the one question whether Foraker can
get enough votes IN the Senate to tack the state
hood bill on the civil sundry appropriations bill
which has just now come out Of the House com

Russell went to the members Of the
