more than six weeks will be required to district the
territory. It is probably, however, that the mem-
ber of the districting board who said that he ex-
pected the constitutional delegate election would be
held at the time for the regular fall election Novem-
ber 6, is probably right. As the call must be issued
at least (i() days before the date set for the election
it would be necessary for the apportioning board to
complete its labors by September * or in less than
three months, not quite half the time allotted it by
the enabling act. , •
Should the delegate election be held November ti
the constitutional convention will meet in Guthrie
November 20. The members will receive pay lor
60 days, and would doubtless adjourn by January lit-*.
As the people would already be familiar with the
terms of the eoifstitution as a result of the publicity
given them while the constitutional convention was
in session, unless a light should be made on the rati-
tication of the instrument because of some objection-
able feature, which would be unlikely fifteen to
thirty days would be ample notice of the election for
the ratification of the constitution.
But under the enabling act the election of state of-
ficers. and of members of congress may take place
at the same time, and certainly will, and a much
longer time would be required tor the nominations
and campaign counting it only a short one. I4our
mouths time for the campaigns for nomination's, and
for elections would seem too short rather than too
long. That would throw the election for Ratification
of the constitution and selection of state and congres
aional officers in May ot next year and it would then
be June, by the time the result could be certified up
to the president and he could issue his proclamation
declaring Oklahoma a state Our members of con-
gress would under this time schedule take their seats
at the convening of ( 0th National congress.
The desire to the people and of those in .charge
will be too hurry things up and some make esti-
mates as low as seven and a half to eight monfhs.
Yet these persons will surely be disappointed. I^or.
allowing a year for ereetiou,ol the machinery for a
state government, it will be the" busiest year the
people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory have ever
witnessed. .«

too busy counting their fees and hunting

ANTI CORPORATION CAMPAIGN FUND
IS NOW CUSSED AND DISCUSSED
There is no doubt whatever of the fact that the
politicians "I both parties in Congress are very
much disturbed, and maybe a bit in the dumps over
the bill which the Senate lias passed with such re-
markable alacrijy prohibiting corporations from
contributing to political campaign funds. The Sen-
ate passed it without any debate, and it is now up
to the House "for further attention Of course,
it is realized on both sides that there is a strong
popular sentiment in favor of the measure; but
everybody recognizes that its final passagt

in securing the sinews of war for the coming Cou-
