Letter of Denial.
The following letter from the
National American Woman Suf-
ferage Association has reached
this office and is self-explanatory.
Editor of the Democrat:—Be-
cause of the great interest in
statehood m Oklahoma we know
you will gladly publish the fol-
lowing explanation from the ofli-|
cers in charge of headquarters of
the National Woman Sufferage
Association.
An unfounded newspaper re-
port has gained circulation that
the above Association is opposed
to statehood for Oklahoma. We
wish to deny this report officially
and emphatically.
The sole object of our Associa-
tion is to secure political rights
for women and it is its clearly de-
fined policy to let alone all other
political questions.
The eyes of the whole nation
are upon Oklahoma as one of the
territories whose future is most
full of promise for all that makes
for a higher and better civiliza-
tion. 1 herefore, all who hope
for .these things, anil not alone
the Sufferage Association, are
protesting against the form of
that clause in the Statehood bill
relating to the qualifications foi
sufferage in which Congress gives
the same validity to the disfran-
chisement of women as to that of
the mentally deficient and crimi-
nals. For the first time in the
history of new states, societies
for sufferage reform, Federated
Clubs, Federations of Labor,
Missionary Societies, Beneficiary
Organizations. Women's Chris-
tian TemperanceUnions, Catholic
Women's Leagues, Daughters of
the Revolution, Councils of Jew-
ish Women, Patriotic and Phil-
anthropic societies, are united,
and, with one voice, ask that
womanhood shall not suffer an
unmerited indignity in the forma-
tion of a new state in which so
much of the hopes of the nation
are centered.
It is as far from the intention
of the National Sufferage Associ-
ation as from that of any other
in this notable list to oppose th«.
statehood of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 10—The
Lee hotel, the first fine'instu-
tion o! the kind erected in Okla-
homa City, and for many years
the finest in the southwest, is
now in the hands of the sheriff,
as the result of attachments
placed against it by the Stall-
National bank of this city, fol-
lowed by other attachments from
several firms around town. Un-
til it is necessary to close the
place up, however, it will con-
tinue to be operated under the
management of Fred Myers,
who has been in active charge,
I the sheriff placing guards in the
building to see that nothing is
cirried off, and that a strict ac-
counting is made for everything
used in the operation of the
business. The attachment of
the State National bank for
S8.^514 was placed against the
hotel last night, but it was not
generally known until this morn-
ing. This was followed up today
with attachments from the Wil-
liamson-Halesll-Frazier Whole-
sale Grocery company for $1,-
961.15; O. G. Lee $555.93; C. L.
Westgate S273.10; K. W. Daw-
son S445.49; D. Wolf and son.

Horace McBarth $93. 33.
No word has been had from
O. B. Stanton, the manager of
the hotel who is supposed to be
in Kansas City.
Dispatches from Washington,
indicated that the Hamilton
Statehood Bill will pass and
the only question to be fought
over will be the number and
character of admendments. It
is believed by senate leaders
that there will be no substaii-;
tial opposition to the statehood |
bill in its present form, admit-
ting Oklahoma and Indian Ter-
ritory as one state and Arizona
and New Mexico as one state.
Senator Beveridge, chairman
of the senate committee on ter-
ritories issued a call for a meet-
ing of his committee Saturday,
at which times hearings on the
Hamilton statehood bill will be
begun. It is Senator Beveridge's
intentions to conduct the lieaitngs
with utmost dispatch, consistent
with full and free exchange of
views in order that a report may
be made on the bill not later
than the latter part of next week.
As soon as the bill is reported to
the senate a request will be made
to make it a special order of busi-
ness after the convening of cong-
ress on the third day of January.
1 resident Roosevelt is desirous,
of seeing Oklahoma and Indian 'fe' foi" tfllS
Territory admitted into the ur^f Pj
ion as one state at the earliest
precticable date, although he did
not mention it in his message as
he believes that this is a question
which should be left wholly to
congress for decision, particular-
'y the kind of statehood to be ac-
corded the two territories. He
would like to sign a statehood
bill at this session and can be
relied upon to do what he can
quietly to bring- aboui the re-1
s.ilt. The president is said to
have received Delegate McGuire]
veriy warmly on his visit to the
White House and congratulated
him on his re-election, declaring!
it entitled the territory to the
support of all republican mem-1
hers of congress.
The onlj? opposition to the
bill is by Senator Foraker, who
gives no reason for it. The bill
will be taken upas special busi-
ness immediately after holidays.
It is to be hoped that no partisan
or factional demands from this
territory will be able to interfere
with the passage of the bill.—

Oklahoma City, Dec. 10.
Willie McKay, a young lad
12 years old is being held
the county jail awaiting the
action of his mother v/ho may
or may not tile a charge of arson
against her son. Yesterday
morning the lad was asked to
get up but did not mind. His
mother waiting until her pa-
tient was exhausted, pulled the
young men out of bed and ad-
ministered a spanking.
This angered the boy and a
short lime after when his moth-
er went down town he poured
kerosene
it afire. The result was the
house with its contents was
consumed. The young man was
arrested and when taken to the
jail said he intended to "get
even" with his mother for spank-
ing him. He also said there
was a man in this town that he
was going to kill. He is the
same boy who not long ago want-
ing some spending money, took
his mother's horse and buggy
and sold them both tor $8.
