EST MEN IN THE NEW
STATE TO-DAY.

The Associated Press telegram an.
nouncing the fact that Roosevelt
would approve the constitution was
received by the ANlmoreite too late
for publication yesterday afternoon,
having be,n received after clock
when the paper was on the press
The thrill of JOY that generally runs
through mans heart ON realizing
the ambition for which he has been
laboring for years is being felt by
Hon W A. Ledbetter of this city.
who was a delegate to the convention
from this district. and who played
an important part in framing the or.
ganic law of the baby state.
When seen this morning and ask
ed for an opinion. Mr.. Ledbetter
said: Il cannot express myself /
am really too full for utterance. the
question OF statehood has been a
seventeen years, and now since
Roosevelt has expressed himself as
he has, ] feel greatly relieved.
Il never will forget the expression
on the presidents face when we had
our consultation with him In Wash
ington. and the way he thumped the
table with his fists, when he made
use of the expression that no man or
set of men had any right to express
what he was going to do when the
instrument was submitted.
The telegram that was received
was no more than what | expected.
and while | felt sure that the proc
lamation would be issued yet felt
some uneasiness about the same, not
knowing what pressure would be
brough. to bear on the president, al
though ! held Roosevelt in the high
est esteem as to fairness. However,
after the vote has been so over
whelmingly in favor OF the constitu'
ton knew that the instrument
would be approved by him and the
proclamation would issue.
II have never been drunk In my
life. but | am almost persuaded to
take a drink of White Mule"
/. In all probability a grand rally
will be had by the citizens of
Ardmore and Carter county when
the president issues his proclama'
ton proclaiming Oklahoma mem
ber of the states.
