ern tour next spring. They promptly for-
warded the President the following
letter:
"Ardmore, I. T., Dec. 13, 1904.
"Theodore Roosevelt, Washington,
D. C.
"Mr. President: At a meeting of
the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce
the uudersigned were appointed a
committee to invite you to visit our
city and territory on your visit South
in the spring.
"This is not a formal invitation but
comes from the hearts of all of our
people, with the earnest hope that you
will find it consistent with your duties
to accept.
"While we are denied the privilege
and rights of citizenship, and are treat-
ed as though we are aliens, yet the
flag of our country does not float over
a more intelligent, public spirited en-
terprising, patriotic and loyal people
than those who live in this territory.
We glory in the fact that we are Amer-
icans and will give you a royal wel-
come.
"As a true American it will do you
good to see what we have accomplish-
ed without aid and in spite of all ob-
stacles, and will place you in a better
position to understand what our needs
are and what, of right, we should re-
ceive. The history of the world does not
afford such an example of the ability and
right of the people for self-goverment
as you will find existing here. With
all of the earnestness of our hearts we
say come.
"Let us feel that we are recognized
by our president as Americans and that
our rights and welfare are his concern.
Respectfully,
"Henry m. Furman,
"T. N. robnett,
"w. a. ledbetter,
''Committee."
