• I Statehood Convention.
J Tne convention held sit Muscogee
las! Thursday in the interest of stnte-
j liootl lor Oklahoma and Indian Terri
torv was the largest convelion of the
kind ever held in either territory, and
was one of the most representative and
creditab e that ever assembled any-
where. About 450 delegates from both
territo>ies were present, and all were
enthusiastic for single statehood. At
11 o'clock, the Indian Territory dele-
gates were called in caucus at the court-
house, and the Oklahoma delegates
met in caucus in C. L, Jackson's office
with ex-Governor Barnes in the chair.
At the meeting in the courthouse
Judge Bradford of Ardmore was elect-
ed to preside, and accepted with a few
words for Bingle statehood and that if
statehood for Oklahoma and the In-
dian Territory could not be obtained,
he favored a 6tngle territorial govern-
ment for the two Tjrritories.
A committee from Iudian Territory
delegation visited the Oklahoma dele-
gation to find out what they should do
about dividing the honors of the con-
vention as to chairmen. Oklahoma
agreed that the Indian Territory should
have temporary and permanent chaii-
men of the convention and Oklahoma
would take the secretaryship.
The convention was called to order
at 2:15 in the afternoon by chairman
Castle, and after divine blessing was
invoked by Rev. Butler, of Muscogee,
Mr. E. C. West welcomed the delegates
to Muscogee in a neat anil appropriate
speech. The address of welcome was
responded to Col. Roy V. Hoffman,
of Chandler. Mr. Hoffman's address
was one of the best efforts of his life
nd was loudly applauded by delegates
trom both territories.
Mr. W. T. Hutchings, of Muscogee,
was elecied temporary chairman and
Harry Gilstrap, of Chandler, waB made
temporary secretary. Committees on
credentials, order of business and res-
olutions were appointed, and the con-
vention took a recess.
While the convention was taking a
recess several letters were read. One
from Senator Deitrichs, ot Nebraska,
expressed the belief that there should
be single statehood and that Congress
should heed the call for legislation
from the Territories. He expressed
the belief that if singlehood could not
be had now, single terfftorial govern-
ment should be given the two Territor-
ies, and they should have a form of lo-
cal self-government.
A latter was read from Congressman
Curtis of Kansas, author of the Curtis
law, now in effect in the Indian Terri-
tory, wishing success to the meeting.
A rather non-conmittal letter was
read from Hon. D. T. Flynn, indorsing
statehood and saying that he bplieved
the Territories deserved statehood.
The committee on order of business
made its report as follows:
1. Hearing report of committee on
credentials.
2. Hearing report of committee on
permanent organization.
3. Hearing report of committee on
resolutions.
4. Selection of an executive com-
mittee of fifteen from each Territory to
carry on the work for singlehood.
This committee suggested that a
committee of si*, three from each Ter-
ritory, be selected by the executive
committee to tak* a memorial to Wash-
ington and press it before Congress set-
ting forth the condition in the two
Territories and securing the attention
of Congress at once to take immediate
action.
The report of the committee on cre-
dentials showed 210 delegates from
each Territorv. Fifteen counties in
Oklahoma were represented and fifty
municipalities in the Indian Territory.
E.N. Ratliffe of Vinita was elected
permanent chairman anil Harry Oil-
strap of Chandler permanent sreretary
and Harry Brown and Roy Williams
assistant secretaries.
At the evening session 'resolutions
and a memorial were passed asking
eongress to give us a state of the two
territories on equal conditions and set-
fing forth our claims and resources to
that end.
Three delegates from each territory
were elected to go to Washington and
present the matter before congress this
winter, as follows:
For Oklahoma—Got. C. M. Barnes.
Chas. F. Barrett and T. H. Doyle.
For Indinn Territory—C. K: Foley,
W. H. P. Trudgeon and Judge Brad-
ford.

A Physician Testifies.
■'I haqe taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and never used anything in my life that
did me the good that did," savs county
physician Geo. W. Scroggs of'liall Co ,
Ga. "Being u physician I have pre-
scribed it and found it to giqe the best
results. If the food you eat remains un-
digested in your stomach it decays there
and poisons the system. You can pre-
vent this by dieting Out that means
starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia cure di-
gests what you eat. 'You need suffer
from neither dyspepsia nor starvation.
The worst cases quickly cured. Never
fails. E. M. Abernathy.
