WANTED ALL LAND
SUITS DISMISSED
CONGRESSIONAL D LIE G ALTON
ASK DISMISSAL OF ALL SUITS
PURELY TECHNICAL.

Washington, April 22.-Oklahoma's
$4,000 land suits which have clouded
titles in eastern oklahoma for the
past three years will soon be reach
ed in the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, and probably be disposed
of in short order but in the mean
time the Oklahoma congressional del
egation and Senator owen in particn-
lar, is making every effort to have
the interior department in connec-
ton with the department of justice
dismiss most of the suits which are
considered technical and to serve no
real purpose. Senator Owen, speaking
of these cases recently said:
Il have regarded these suits IN
the United States circuit court, in
volving, as they did, 10000 tracts of
land, as very mischievous and inju-
riouS to the state because they put
q general cloud on the titles in
eastern Oklahoma. interfered with
immigration. with credits, with mort
gage and loan companies, with farm
development town building, etc.. and
retarded generally the progress OF
eastern Oklahoma.
THE Oklahoma delegation had
agreed with the interior department
upon plan by which suits were
authorized in the name of anv al
lottee. and at his request, in the
state courts, wherever a charge of
fraud or injustice was made, and this
We enacted into law, May 27, 1908.
Our delegation believed that this
was sufficient, and we provided in
the Indian appropriation bill this
year for 100000. for the district
representatives. of the secretary of the
interior who have been aacting as-next
friend end coursellors to Indian al
lottes who needed such assistance.
The president has promised me to
bring the matter to an adjustment.
and | hope that it can be so ar.
ranged as to serve the ends of ius.
tice while it would not perpetuate
the injustice to the body of our peo-
pie of these Wholesale suits. The su-
preme court will determine the oues-
ton of guardianship over United
States citizens of Indian blood at
this term, and | hope that all that
our Oklahoma people expected me to
accomplish will be concluded during
this year. The restrictions have been
removed as far as practicable. and
II these suits are abated. / think
it will give a strong business i'm
pulse to Oklahoma"

LEE CRUCE IS FOR
THE AMENDMENT
MAKES A BOLD STATEMENT
THAT NO FRAUD EXISTS AND
TAKES STAND FOR PROGRESS.

Governor Lee Cruce made a state
ment to the press in which he says
that it is strange that fraud is charged
in connection with the proposed con
stitutional amendment to be voted
upon next Tuesday. The bill passed
the house last January, lay over until
February and was passed by the sen
ate and then was held by him a num-
Der of days before it was signed.
During the time the bill was pending
there was abundant time to raise the
cry that the governor and the legis-
lature had been led into trap. The
statements of the governor sets at
naught the assertions of the attorney
general.
"THE PROSPERITY OF OKLA.
HoMA," said Mr.. Cruce, DEPENDS
LARGELY UPON RAILROAD CON-
sTRUcTIoN, AND I AM FOR THE
The action of Lee Cruce will be
lauded by his home people. Ardmore
and Carter county stand for railroad
building, they stand for the develop
ment of the state and a telegram was
sent to Governor Cruce yesterday
signed by a dozen of his old neigh
bors asking him for his position on
the question.
1t is generally conceded that as Lee
Cruce goes, so goes the election. The
friends of the measure will have it
known in every nook and corner of
the state that Lee Cruce is for the
amendment The prospects are good
for its adoption and it means a great
er Oklahoma from one end of the
state to the other. There will not be
a county in the state that will not
receive some benefit from its adop-
tion and especially will Carter county
be benefited. 1t means several mil
lions of dollars will be added to the
taxable wealth of Carter county alone.
Lee Cruce as governor has had the
courage to take a stand upon every
public question. He has not hesitated
TO let the people know where he stands
at ali times, and even the enemies of
the measure will appreciate the frank
statement of the governor upon this
proposition.
