Among those who have visited

sion to investigate the statehood situ-
alton there are none more enthusias-
tic than W. l. Alexander, who has
Just returned from a trip to the CAPT
tai. II Is his candid opinion that
statehood will be provided for In
dian Territory and Oklahoma during
this session of congress, and the
more he investigated the chances u
statehood tho more certain he was
that a statehood measure of soma
kind will pass before the season ends
This. he says. is the general opini ~
in Washington and he has based his
opinion on the general trend OF sen
timent In Washington
Mr.. Alexander gave congress no
tice that unless we were admitted
within ten days Indian Territory am
Oklahoma would take in the Unite
States. He says that srro'.g pre- Shui
is being brought TO bear IN congress
in behalf of the territories md thai
unless something unfo"srCA arise
we will be admitted into the Unlor
at an early date
