GARFIELD TO RECOMMEND
REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS

The fact that the department has
changed its policy and will recommend
such legislation means it will pass
next winter. In the meantime the
secretary win cut out all the red tape
he can in acting upon applications
for restriction removals which lhust
come through his department under
the existing laws.
Garfield will also ease up on the
present oil and gas regulations. He
wants to simplify those regulations So
as to protect the Indians fully with
out working any hardship to oil and
gas men. Oil and gas leases are com.
ing in rapidly More than 5000 are
now before the Indian agent at Mus
kogea for action. Garfield wired hin
not to attempt to make separate re
port on each lease, but to send then
to Washington in patches Of 100. HI
says the department will be able t.
take care of them promptly.

Among Indian Territory Republicans
Defeat Staring the Knockers
the Face

Bartlesville, I. 7. May 1T. A.
Latta, manager Of the republican state
hood bureau which is conducting a
campaign for the adoption Of the con-
stitution and the naming of a repub-
lican state ticket, said this afternoon
that sentiment all over the state was
rapidly forming in favor of the prop
osition.
From the hundreds Of letters re-
ceived it is already possible to form
a fairly accurate iudgemnt Of the
sentiment generally. From the Kans-
as line to the Canadian there is prac-
tically no opposition to the plan
every locality 50 far heard from is
either overwhelmingly in favor of
the bureaus plan Or the opposition is
50 small as to make It absolutely inn
possible for the opposition to win.
South Of the Canadian sentiment is
mixed. Some localities are absolutely
hostile, while in others the leaders
are for the plan and express their be-
lief they can bring the party into line
by the time the delegates are chosen
In the Choctaw country it is report
ed on what appears to be on good au
thority that the Indians arc to mar
opposed to the constitution and arr
conducting an active campaign
against it.
| One correspondent from the hill
country of the Choctaw nation says
"There will be no stay at home vot
among the Indians this time and ther
will be no democrats among them
They will vote solidly against the con
stitution, providing they are no
shown that it is to their own inter
ests to support the instrument"
The Oklahoma movement seems t
fhave stopped over into the fourth dis
trict, and the organization there ar
making active campaign to secur
delegations to the Tulsa conventio
instructed against the constitutio
and a state ticket.

STATEHOOD SENTIMENT
GROWING STRONGER

Frantz, said 1T is plain we must
make a fight. We can not consistent
" fight the constitution because that
imperils statehood but we can attack
certain things in the constitution, and
yet and yet, even that imperils state
hood To tell the truth the republic
cans of Oklahoma are between the
proverbial devil and deep sea-
1t is now thought the big stick
will wave over the supreme court Of
Oklahoma. Bonaparte will force the
court to meet June 1, hear all the
election cases and dissolve all injunc-
tions.
Many private kilograms went out Of
Washington yesterday and last night.
They were directed to probable state
candidates. The republicans will soon
be busy with ticket.

Garfield Of the interior department
proposes to loosen the reins in Indian
Territory in regard to the alienation
Of lands. Garfield said he had just
