1ponca Citv Courierl


The efforts Of a lot of town boom
ers to locate the state capital at this
time are not meeting with the APPROX
al of the people generally. This is
shown by the fact chat little interest
8 being taken in the matter except
by the town boomers themselves or
oy politicians who imagine they see
something in it for themselves.
The general opinion seems 10 be
hat there is no good reason why this
matter should be taken up now, il at
III. The location Of the state cap
ital is not a matter Of great import
ance to tie average citizen and it will
be difficult to make him believe that
here is anything to be gained by
moving it from Guthre to Oklahoma
City. Therefore, We are inclined to
.hink that when the voters 90 TO the

sition and let 1t 20 at that.
