THE VACANCY PROBLEM.
The unrepresented Seventh
representative district is receiv-
ing a variety 'J consideration at
(iuthrie. A resolution was'in-
troduced in the council empow-
ering the governor to till by ap-
pointment; it never got any fur-
ther. The governor then issued
a proclamation for a special elec-
tion on February 21. Later a
bill was drawn providing that
the vacancy be not tilled. Then
on Saturday a bill passed the
house providing that on the
death or resignation of a mem-
ber of either house the vacancy
shall be tilled by tne house in
which the vacancy occurred. If
this bill becomes a law it will in- ,
sure the portion of our county
now unrepresented a republican
representative at once, as the
house is strongly republican.
Otherwise tin* county must go to
great expense to elect a member
who will have but a few days to
serve and who may be totally un-
acquainted with his duties and
associates. In point of economy
and of republican success#the
former method is preferable un-
der the circumstances. The
idea of leaving the seat untilled
would prove*very undesirable,
in view of certain contingencies;
the time will come before the end
of the session when Chandler
and Lincoln county will find it
very iiu| ortant to have a vot •.
T.iere is little doubt but that an
effort will be made to locate more
institutions and appropriations
will be called for to build a capi-
tal at Guthrie, a penitentiary and
an insane asylum at other towns.
Lincoln county is undoubtedly
opposed to any and all such
movements and the citizens of
the Seventh representative dis-
trict as surely want a speedy
and economical solving of the
problem of tilling the vacancy,
s ■_ . rr
By their votes the people of
the Seventh representative dis-
trict have recorded their desire
to be represented by a repub-
lican. If the present bill pro
viding for thy tilling of tne va
cancy becomes a law, which it
will if the governor sees tit,
they will still have their wishes
carried out.
Lincoi.n county didn't
chance to express her sentiment
at that statehood convention
Statehood conventions are called
to boom statehood., not to hear
th< anti statehood sentiments.
It is true that congre.ss ha-
granted Oklahoma the use of the
buildintrs at Fort Supply for the
purpose of an insane asylum,
yet some ambitious town or
towns will willingly involve th^
territory in further expense fo
'* r
•tli" sak«- of the location of an
! asylum in their midst.
