United States senators and 101

Honorable Joseph Quincy Cannon OF
Illinois Kansas was represented by
Senator Curtis and Representatives
Calderhead, Campbell, Anthony, Mad

These gentlemen talked freely about

Arkansas. 1t is a remarkable record

This phenomenal increase in popula-
ton is partly due to salubrity of its
climate, the fertility of its soil and the
opportunities it has offered for the es-
Enlistment of industries and the in
vestment of limited capital in mercan
tile and commercial enterprises; but
it is without doubt more largely due to
the character of its constitution and
laws which have been made and adj
ministered in the interests of man and
not of predatory wealth. In other

Oklahoma is nothing if not unique.
This is shown in its recent primary

IS consistent with the states predilec-
ton for the exceptional ond the abnor-
rial that it should adopt a "Grandfath-

tens about ancestors are generally
Reid 70 De in bad taste. Every good
citizen is satisfied TO be his own an

But Oklahoma is not only unique

it is proving itself to be unique by
phenomenal growth in wealth and pop

Of the youngest Of the sisterhood of
states has been completed and its rate
OF growth for the last decade promises
to exceed that Of any of it's other as
sociates IN the Union.
Comparing the present population
Oklahoma, 1,G51.95 with the popula-
IN Of Oklahoma Territory and the In
Clan Territory in 1900, the gain has
been LOO, or 100 per cent. No other
state has been forging ahead as rap
idly as that. North Dakota may show
gain of over Go per cent, but that
gain will be made on a much smaller
population than Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory had 10 years ago. No
Other new state has ever taken rank
as Oklahoma has in the first decade
after its admission. It has now five
representatives in congress, and will
have eight under the new apportion-
