the Chickasha Milling Co., didn' t
lose any time when the committee
entered his Office but seized his
pen and wrote SIS.

study long to write S25 and F, M.
Denton the same thing. The Mis-

Oklahoma City, Aug. I3-The
gerrymander boards appointed by
the president to apportion the new
state into constitutional delegate
districts are in bad plight. The
census in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nations showed such heavy
population that in order to get a
majority Of the delegates outside
of these two nations, they were
forced to raise the population Of
Indian Territory from 100000 to
S25, 5,ooo-24o, 900 of which are
credited to the Cherokee nation.
The recent utterances of leading
Indians in the Cherokee and Creek
nations indicate very clearly that
the Indians will line up with the
Democrats. This has brought
CONSERVATION to the republican
camp and they are now in desper-
ate straits TO figure out some
scheme by which to over come the
enormous Democratic majority
that Indian Territory will give in
the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention. At first
the republicans we're hopeful of
carrying part in the Cherokee
nation, but recent facts have de-
veloped which go to show that the
Cherokee nation is as strongly Dc
mocratic as the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations.
The republicans now realize that
the Democrats will come out Of
Indian Territory with ~ delegates
and probably two more from the
Usage nation which is now evid-
entity in the Democratic column,
and it is evident that the Demo
Gratis will elect one half of the del
egates from the Greek nation, with
chances favoring the election, Of

Keith, it is more than likely that she
will get the child again sometime. Both
parents are warmly attached to the
child and a reconciliation at some
time in the future is thought to be
very possible by those who have fol-
lowed the testimony in the case closely.
The parents will be allowed to
visit the child every week for two
or three hours if they wish. Henry
Bremmer will put up $500 bond next
week not to interfere with the child
and to remove it beyond the jurisdic-
ton Of the court.
