On t<> Washington
Indications are that Indian ter-
ritory vs 111 he represented bv a
larger number of delegates and
lobbyists championing various m-
tcre-ts in Washington this winter
than ever b< fore inits history. < >k
lahoiva, too. will be largely repre-
sented, the tlelt gallon t favoring
the passage of the Hamilton bill
as it now stands being joined by
thost of Indian Territory, It is
estimated that Indian Territory
a one will send at least fifty per-
sons to \\ ashington in an attempt
to influence legislation according
t 1 their respective ideas of what
the be-.t interests ot thetcriitory
demand.
The champions of single state-
hood in the two territories will
convene at Oklahoma C'itv under
'he call of C. (i. Join s, chairman
I of the single statehood committee
and will name a delegation from
both territories to the passage of
the Hamilton bill. Last year
Hon, ( ('. Ames, of Oklahoma
( ily and Henry Beard, ot Shawnee
wire elected delegates for Okla-
homa, and Hon V\ V 1 edbetter,
of Ardmore, and Col C. B. Doug-
lass, of Muskogee, were chosen in
the same capacity to represent In
dian Territory in the interest of
single statehood, to serve until the
expiration of the present term of
congress, March 4. lt>o$, Thirty
other persons from the two terri-
tories were selected to lobby toi
single statehood upon their own
responsibility, and an effort will
I be made to have these persons
perform the same mission before
congress this w inter.
The Indian Territory Press As
sociation, at a recent meeting at
(iuthi ic, pros idctl fora tlelt gation
of seven editors, with the presi-
dent >1 the association acting as
chairman, to go to Washington in
tht interest of the Hamilton bill.
This will bring the total number
of delegate* representing organi-
zations in the two territories fat or
mg single statehood up to lie irlv
fitly
Then there are many other in-
terests which desire reform legis-
lation passed lor Indian Territory.
( I . Kolcv, of I uiatila, w ho w as
chosen last year by a non-partisan
convention to represent the gen-
eral interest- of Indian Territory
before congress, will soon goto
Washington and serve in the saint*
capacity until adjournno nt
The Democratic Press Assncii-
lion met at South McAlestei Sat-
urday to name a delegation w hten
will probably appear before con-
gress m the interest of separate
statehood
An element which has never
sent 1 delegation to Washington
front Indian Territory, the Prohi-
bitionists, has raised funds to
maintain a lobby this winter tor
the purpose of influencing con-
gu ss |o i nact a clause in the Ham-
ilton bill continuing the taws
against the sale of intoxicating
liipiors in Indian territory after
tribil relations have been dis-
solved Congress will also be
a-ketl to listen to commissions
from each ot the five civilized
tribes, which through tm ii cihiii
cils this fall provided for delega-
tions to Washington, »o a-k for
immediate settlement of their
tribal affairs, including tht dispos-
al if their surplus lands, «chool
lands and nth r propert held in
1 >min>»n by the nation , or not,
a* h nation will send delegates on
its own responsibility, who will
each ask favors of congress. A
large number of business men and
burners of the Chickasaw country
art* also talking of calling .1 meet-
ing to send delegates to congress
tor the purpose of expressing their
wishes relative to the present sys-
tem of leasing and selling lands.
In addition to these nunurous
delegations which will swarm
(about the congressmen ami sena-
tors at Washington, congress will
be flooded with memorials and pe-
tition* hum various org :ni/alions
in Indian Territory, each of which
have a grievance to present. (>ne
of these is the Farmers’ Union,
which at a recent meeting at Du-
rant drew up a long memorial pro-
testing against land grafting in
Indian Territory. Then, added
this horde of delegates and pvti-
•ions, will he a number of profes-
sional lobbyists, who have repre-
s nted various communities before
congress for several years, who
pay their own expenses and de-
pend for remuneration upon the
voluntary contributions of busi-
ness men of their own communi-
ties or hopes of future political
emolument.
The interests ot many of the*-*
delegations will conflict, but it
(congress is not hopelessly con-
fused l»y the various representa-
tions of the crying needs of In-
dian Territory, it may be able to
weetl out the good suggestions
from the had and pass much help-
ful legislation.
