DEMOCRATS WANT
OKLAHOMA LET in.
president May Tl,wart its Ad-
mission by Rejecting New
Constitution.
-----------
TAFT's uTTERANcE INSPIRED
Prospective New State is Demo
cratic, and Would Aid Party
in Congress.
Timcs.Dispatch Bureau,
Munscy Building.
Mnsllincton. ID. O.. sept. II


If the Democrats OF the nationnlcap-
ital could only get limo on President
Roosevelt. with regard to his attitude
towards the Constitution OF the new
state of Oklahoma. they would be pow
crfully pleased. The Overwhelming ma
jority by which the people OF the
two Territories to compose the new
tate voted to accept the Constitution
elated those who want statehood, and.
of course, Democrats are unanimous IN
wishing to see the new State admit
ted. since 1t is Overwhelmingly Demo
cratic The admission of Oklahoma
means two additional Democratic Sen
ators and four more Democrats In the
House ,of Representatives.
Democrats have been very uneasy
concerning the course the President
viii pursue when he comes to pass
been ratified. The act enabling the
people of the two Territories TO frame
Constitution and apply for admis-
sion to the Union as single state
provided that the, President should
have the power to reject the Consti-
tuition. in which case Congress would
ilaye to pass another enabling act. u
new Constitution would have to be
Framed and the question of ratihcn-
tion would have to be voted on again.
THIS very vicious attack made upon
the Constitution of the new. state by
Secretary Taft on the occasion OF MS
visit to Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory last month leads TO the. belief
that the President may refuse to APP
prove it. The fact that the new state
elected Democratic Governor, four
out of FIVE members of Congress and
Legislature which will return two
Democratic Senators. Will. or may. have
q most potent influence with the Presi-
dent when he comes to consider the
question of rejection or approval.
Oklahoma will cast seven electoral
votes for the next Democratic candi
date for the presidency, fact which
will probably have its influence with
the President when considering the
subject of admitting her to the Union.
Mr.. Roosevelt has established the rep
Gtation of being the most astute politi-
clan in the country. He has shown a
thousand times during his term of Of
flee that he is not above playing poll
les. even when the most serious ques
tons are involved. Friends of state-
hood for Oklahoma are wondering
whether he viii be able to rise above
all questions of partisan politics and
pass upon the question of admitting
the new State solely with regard to
the justice of the case.
Oklahoma is Knocking for admis-
sion with population of nearly
100000 people behind the demand.
Further than the position of Secretary
Taft, the mouthpiece of the President,
there is absolutely no means of irdg-
Ing of the attitude of the President

over it and then the prospective custo
mer pulled out page Of catalOg and
said he believed he would send for d

dealer protested that his sos buggy
was worth more for the difference in
price, that the freight on ohe buggy
would be 81 or So, but to no avail.
Finally the merchant said: well to
