Roosevelt's Opportunity.


 The state elections last November gave Presit gent Roosevelt what he has wished for s' eral years. The Senate. as if will meet in December will be composed of sixtx-one republicans and twenty-nine democrats, a fraction more than the nee essary two-thirds. But with two mora democrats from Oklahoma, the Senate membership will be increased to ninety two and the democratic vote to thirtx- one, and the republicans will be without the tWo-thirds and the old trading ana buying method of trying to pick off a democratic vote will have to be renewed.
 The action of the Senate democrats In the last Congress in applying the caucus whip as a means of keeping it's member ship solid, will be continued in the new Congress and upon important measures democrat who votes with the republic ans will have to go to the republican committee or committees for his commit tee assignments. With the enforcement Of this system of discipline the democrats can defeat any treaty brought before the body

Proclamation for Statehood of Okla. homa is Due in November. Accord ing to All Preoedents, and
 Gan Hardly Be Dodaed.

Washington. September 2-(Special)- The republican objection 10 the admission Of the new state of Oklahoma does not principally rest upon the addition of seven democratic votes 10 the electoral college. It is true that this Is matter of im- portanee. but just at present the most timid of republican politicians does not think seven electoral votes will prevent the election of a republican President next year, with the democratic sentiment seemingly so overwhelmingly favorable to the renomination of Mr. Bryan.
 What the President and his advisors in Congress have more in mind is that the admission of two democratic senators from Oklahoma means that the republic ans will not haNe two-thirds of the Sen ate and therefore will not be able to put through ny treaty which may be sent them. l. sislation by treaty has become quite a factor under President Roose- welt. but heretofore he has been com pelled to win over a couple of democratic senators before ratification could be as- Sured
