RooSEVELT'S SILENCE.

President Roosevelt has always
been good To oklahoma. He adyocat.
ed her cause in his message and all
ways urged statehood. II must be
confessed that ne in common with
many leaders aJ Washington expect
ed Oklahoma TO be Republican. It
went Democratic by a landslide. The
whole national cahal fell down hard
on their statehood scheme and might
naturally be rcsontful
These considerations have led
many 10 believe that President Roos-
eyclt would turn down the constlu.
tion If It contained a Jim Grow"
clause. \ desire to square himself
with colorcd element on account Of
the Brownsville order has been
counted to be a patent factor in the
case.
Many of the best friends OF the
Democratic party both in the senate
