AND OKLAHOMA REJoICES.
This Time Over the Resignation Of
Secretary Hitchcock.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. S.-The an
nouncement from Washington that
Secretary Hitchcock is to resign from
the cabinet, to be effective March 4,
has caused general rejoicing in Okla
homa and Indian Territory. Many Of
his rulings have been considered OPP
pressive and those affecting the oil
industry have at several times result
ed in stagnation Of business and in
great financial loss to the territories.
The announcement of Hitchcock s
resignation recalls the fact that while
the investigation Of Governor Frantz
was pending, the Governor wired Pres
ident Roosevelt that either he (the
governor) or Secretary Hitchcock,
must go. Frantz was appointed gov
ernor Of Oklahoma without consulting
approval The secretary, it is claim
ed, then inspired the investigation Of
Governor Frantz and desired TO have
him ousted from Office upon the evi-
dence submitted at the close Of the in
vestigation.
Hitchcock and President Roosevelt
disagreed on this point and it is be-
lieved here that this disagreement had
something to do with the secretary's
resignation. 1t is also known that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hitchcock have disagreed in regard
to several other appointments in both
territories.
