Memorial to Congress Declares
Merits of Oklahoma and
Reference to Any Other Territory — Meeting Harmonious
Throughout — One Thousand Delegates Present
OKLAHOMA CITY: The last great
single statehood convention looking
towards the admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory Into th union
held here was one of the most large-
ly attended and altogether harmon-
ious and successful statehood con-
ventions ever held by any territory
Each county and district was repre-
sented by the cuota assigned to It
by the original call
The d?v preceding the convention
delegations a greater portion of them
headed by bands began arriving and
it was early known that the atten-
dance would be large Each succeed-
ing train brought In additional dele-
gations until one of the largest gath-
erings ever assembled in the south-
west was the result All the larger
towns were represented by hundreds
and trains coming Into the city were
compelled to furnish special coaches
for a number of these cities
Days previous to the convention it
was apparent that no hall in the city
would be large enough to hold the
people who would attend the com-
mittee secured the auditorium at Del-
mar Gardens which was packed to
its- full capacity
The convention was called to ord:r
by C G Jones chairman of the sin-
gle statehood executive committee
After the invocation by Rev E B
Rankin Prof I M Holcomb delivered
the address of welcome which was
responded to by H D Robbins of
South McAlester on the part of In-
dian Territory and the response for
Oklahoma was made by Senator T
P Gore of Lawton
At the close of these addresses the
work of the convention proper was
taken up E E Castle of Wagoner
secretary of the executive committee
read the call under which the con-
vention was authorized to meet The
first work was the selection of tem-
- porary officers was taken up Robt
L Williams of Durant and John Pal-
mer of the Osage 'nation were placed
in nomination for chairman The
balloting had reached the ninth dis-
trict in the Indian Territory list
when yie name of Palmer was with-
drawn and a motion carried to make
the selection of Mr Williams unani-
mous and he made a brief address
Of acknowledgement fervidly declar-
ing fealty to the single statehood
cause ‘
Charles E Hunter of Chickasha
was the only nominee for secretary
and his selection was made unani-
mous The committees on credentials per
manent organization and order of
business and resolutions were select-
ed -
At this point an adjournment was
taken until 2:30 p m
At the afternoon session letters of
regret at non-attendance and express-
ing sympathy with the statehood
cause were read from President
Roosevelt Senators BreckenTldge and
Fairbanks and Bailey of Texas Con-
gressman Hamilton of Michigan
Stephens of Texas and Calderbead
of Kahsas A message was also read
from the Arizona Anti-Joint State-
hood league as follows:
“Arizona is with you heart and
soul in "‘your endeavor to secure state-
hood for Oklahoma and Indian Ter-
ritory and we are equally opposed to
the jointure of Arizona and New Mex-
ico” The chairman was Instructed to
send a telegraphic’ response to the
message although it was apparent
that the Arizona league was laboring
under a misconception of the purpose
of the convention in Oklahoma City
Ex-Senator Plair of New Hamp-
shire was called upon for an address
and responded He related that his
presence was n the nature of an ac-
cident He was at Guthrie and heard
of th statehood convention and came
"down to see with his own eyes a
representative assembly of citizens
from the territories of Oklahoma"
“This is to me one of the supreme
opportunities of my life for you have
revealed to me in one moment of see-
ing the evidence that here is already
founded one of the great American
commonwealths You need but the
formula of admission to the union 1
do but represent the general feeling
of the masses of the people among
whom I live when I state to you that
they desire a3 you desire your full
free and unfettered admission to the
union as a sovereign state The
people of the east do not desire that
your great commonwealth should
come in with any bob-tailed state-
hood at all We are in favor of your
Explosion Kills Two Shotfirers
SOUTH McALESTER: Jordan Ja-
cobs and Jack Loftes shotfirers were
killed by an explosion in the McAles-
ter Coal Mining Company’s mine near
this city Loftes was found lying on
his face with his hand over his heart
and a piece of his shirt clenched in
his hand Jacobs was lying on his
back terribly burned The cause of
the explosion has not been ascertained
Strongly for Statehood on the
Indian Territories Without
coming into this great union with all
the attributes which the constitution
accords to any state You have the
ability the conscience and the intel-
ligence to deal with any question
which any state ever had to dispose
of and prohibitionist — ‘crank prohi-
bitionist’ if you please — as I am I
vtould not take from the state of
Oklahoma which now is and is soon
to be formally a member of the
union one Single power away from
her Internal policy Ordinarily "a state
creates its wealth after its organiza-
tion You have created yours in ad-
vance in’ combination with the un-
common gifts of the Almighty"
Cheers greeted the old statesman’s
declaration that in him - Oklahoma
will have a friend who will urge her
needs in Washington next fall His
concluding words were pathetic: “I
will never sea you again God grant
however that as the time approaches
when my bones will be buried in my
little state on the Atlantic coast In
the last moments’ of existence I will
have reason and apprehension to re-
call this glorious scene”
It was an incident never to be for-
gotten when after a hearty Tound of
applause the vast throng assembled
in the convention hall arose as one
man and sang ‘‘America’’ to the ac-
companiment of the band and It vis-
ibly affected the venerable statesman
to be the recipient of such an honor
from the representative citizenship
of the new state
General John W Noble of St Louis
ex-secretary of the Interior also de-
livered an address and was shown
marked honors by the convention
Both of the distinguished visitors
were extended a vote of thanks by
the convention
Delegate B S McGuire was called
to the platform and made a brief ad-
dress to the convention In which he
declared: “Most of the people of Okla-
homa and Indian Territory are cogniz-
ant of my attitude on the statehood
question If there are any who do
not understand my position I will
tell you here and now: I stand
eternally for the union of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory into one great
state There is some question as to
detail but understand gentlemen
there are almost five hundred men in
the American congress and they like
we have different sentiments I hope
at the coming session of congress
we will get statehood and that an-
other star will be added to the field
of blue in Old Glory before adjourn-
ment is reached”
John Palmer the Osage Indian
orator was next called to the plat-
form and made one of the most elo-
quent addresses of the day He held
that the culture- and refinement and
pure American qualities of the peo-
ple of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
entitled them to statehood more than
the mere wealth of the proposed new
commonwealth
Following Mr Palmer’s address
the committee on credentials report-
ed Before the convention assembled
it was expected that considerable
trouble would result from contested
delegations but none of it showed up
in the convention proper as the mat-
ter was settled before the commit-
tee and the report was adopted unan-
imously The committee on permanent or-
ganization and rules made a report
recommending that John Embry of
Chandler be made permanent chair-
man which action was taken later
and Mr Embry assumed the gavel
The committre recommended the
election of an eexcutive committee
to be composed of one member from
each delegation in addition to one
member at large from Indian Terri-
tory to be selected by tho members
of a committee from that section It
also recommended that ten men be
named from each territory by the
executive committee to compose a
delegation to present the memorial
from the convention to the president
and to congress After an address by
Chairman Embry tfin convention ad-
journed until g o’clock at which time
the resolutions committee made Its
report which was read to the conven-
tion by Henry Furman of Ada I T
and the greatest and pprhnps last
statehood convention for Oklahoma
and Indian Territories adjourned

Henry P Robbins In his response
on behalf of Indian Territory said
in part:
“We thank you for this welcome
to the peerless princess of the prai-
ries We are glad to meet in Okla-
homa City We are all proud of the
villages and cities from which wel
come and the magnificent region
which surrounds and gives them sub-
stance We are proud of our magnifi-
cent homes our substantial- business
houses our schools churches and
public improvements for which the
older communities of the east have
waited for decades but which we
have installed In month While each
city is ambitious and each has a spot
called “Capitol Hill” in hopeful an-
ticipation I believe we are not so
blinded by envy to such an extent
that we are not proud of Oklahoma
City the greatest city of its age In
the world We are glad to have peo-
ple come here and be shown that
they may be disabused of impressions
of the territories gained from cheap
fiction and glaring ‘wild west’ shows
We are glad for them to see your
fine institutions your wholesale and
manufacturing establishments your
residences schools churches and col-
leges and to learn of your ’100000
club’ We are glad to show them
your street railway system — but we
draw the line at your city water
(Laughter) : '
"In a single statehood convention
we are especially at home here Other
cities have been led away by the
whisperings of ambition and have fol-
lowed false fires but through thick
and thin good and ill report Okla

Memorial to Congress
We the one thousand delegates representing the million and a
half American citizens who reside in Oklahoma and Indian Territories
do hereby declare in convention assembled that said territories are
entitled to and of right ought to be immediately admitted into the
American union as one free and independent state on terms of equali-
ty between themselves and on an equal footing with the other states
We have but one petition and one request to present to the
American congress and that is that immediate Joint statehood be
granted to Oklahoma and Indian Territories on their own merits
and without reference to any right or claim of other territories seeking
admission to the American union
'i In support of the foregoing declaration we offer the following
reasons:
First Our area is sufficient The average area of all states
west of the Allegheny mountains is 74000 square miles of those
states west of the Mississippi Is 96000 square miles We have 70400
square miles
Second Our population is sufficient The population of each
£ territory is 750000 Our combined population Is 1500000— four times
as many as any state has had at the time of its admission and equal
to the average population of all tlie states now in the union and we
are therefore entitled to seven members of the lower house of
congress
Third Our resources are sufficient We have property subject to
taxation worth a billion dollars We have 500000 acres of coal lands
and we produce bituminous coal of a quality not surpassed by any
state in the union We have natural gas fields containing Blngle wells
which produce 2G 000 000 cubic feet per day We have very extensive
oil bearing fields how containing hundreds of producing wells and
equal to the celebrated fields of Pennsylvania and JCansas We have
mountains of granite and extensive beds of excellent stone asphalt
and marble We have developed mines of lead and zinc We have
great areas of untouched forests and milions of acres of fertile plains
which rival the valley of the Red river of the North in Its pro-
duction of wheat the delta of the Mississippi in Its production of
cotton the prairies of Iowa in their production of corn and the
Pacific slope In the quality of Its fruit And we have 5000 mils or
railroad to convey our products to market and these traverse' every
county in both territories
The character of our population entitles us to Immediate ad-
mission Our fathers live In every state of the union we were born
and bred in the atmosphere of American liberty and dignity In 1900
the percentage of illiteracy in Oklahoma was 55 and in Indian Ter-
4 rltory 10 the general average 10 3-4 Since then the population
£ has nearly doubled and it is safe to assume that all the newcomers
£ are literate because those who have the pluck and energy to move
have intelligence enough to read It is now therefore safe to say that
in the two territories the average of Illiteracy is not 7 per cent Of
our total population only 102000 are of Indian extraction and of
these only 27000 are fullblood Indians and of these Icbs than half are
blanket Indians and they all are citizens of the United States
Depositors Will Get 30 Per Cent
LAWTON: Receiver E C Knappe
of the defunct Bank of Lawton is
paying a dividend of 30 per cent to
those creditors who have filed their
proof of claim Those who have not
filed their proof will have until Au-
gust 1 to do so and receive their pro
rata Another distribution will be
made later of probably 30 per cent
The "windows of the soul” are made
so that we may look out for ourselves
homa City has stood as firm as the
everlasting hills the Gilbraltar of the
single statehood cause
"We of the territories came origfr
Sally from everywhere We were
not thrown here by chance Wo
cazee here deliberately with our
clothes on America ’ boasts that she
has taken the best elements of all
the best civilization of the modern
world Oklahoma came along and
continued the process of selection so
we can lay the flattering function to
our soul that we are the very cream
of civilization the elect of the elect
(Laughter and applause) because
here the sons of Maine and Vermont
have joined hands with the sons of
Virginia and North Caorllna Illinois
with Texas Wisconsin with Arkansas
Northern thrift has blended wltn
southern chivalry and hospitality un-
til we have the greatest people in
the United States
“We are here today under the con-
stitutional rights guaranteed even to
us to assemble and pass resolutions
asking congress for leave to attach
ourselves to the union that we may
build our own roads and bridges pave
our own streets care for our own peo-
ple and educate our own offspring
These are things for which some of
our forefathers fought and for which
some of them died These are things
which our brothers in neighboring
states are enjoying in pride as a rich
heritage To longer deny us a portion
of that inheritance is criminal There
is not a man woman or child in the
United States who by open declara-
Ion or whispered insinuation by the
living voice or by the printed page
has dared for a moment to' say that
Oklahoma does not have all the quali-
fications and rights of statehood
There has been expressed some fear
in a certain county as to what a bur-
den Indian Territory would be God
bless your souls nature was trying
to outdo herself when she fashioned
the glorious Indian Territory giving
us gas and oil almost beyond the
measure of man’s mind 4000000
acres of forest 15000000 acres ol
fertile farm land great stores or
granite and marble of the richest
color A climate of no extremes
Sunshine and shower come together
We have no king of" products We
have a democracy of crops The
same land that produces 'a bale of
cotton to the acre will produce GO and
70 bushels of corn or 30 bushels of
wheat or 209 bushels of potatoes
while every berry vegatable and mel-
on known to the temperate zone
thrive there In highest abundance I
am speaking in no wild hyperbole
my fellow citizens when I declare that
the Indian Territory is the richest
spot under the American flag for the
size of it Join Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and we will have an" In-
comparable state No star in the con-
stellation will shine with a purer ray
serene

Stolen from Government

has determined that the scandal grow-
ing out of the cotton report leaks In

the government He proposes that
Assistant Statistician Holmes agalnsst
whom serious allegations are made
shall be punished If it shall be found
possible to secure his arrest and con-
viction under present laws

ing pointed letter to Attorney Gener-
al Moody:
“My Dear Mr Moody: I most earn-
estly hope that every effort will " be
made to bring Holmes to Justice in
connection with the cotton report
scandal Please go’ over the papers
yourself The man is In my judg-
ment a far greater scoundrel than If
he had stolen money from 'the gov-
ernment as he used the government
to deceive others and make money
for himself and for others” ‘

general question of immigration by
the people and by congress The

Winston Churchill the novelist
has or assumes to have a ' great
detestation for minor poets He is
continually railing at the minor poet
humorously — at his vanity his indo-
lence his malice and so on
"Two minor poets’’ said Mr
Churchill "were lunching near me In
New York one day as they ate they
conversed But their conversation
was not the sincere and friendly talk
that usually occupies the pauses of a
luncheon It was a series of Btabs of
mean little attacks of covert and
cowardly assaults
" ‘I saw your sonnet “To a Gilt
Soul” la the Trash magazine’ said
the first minor poet
"'Ah said the other ‘did you?’
‘"And I heard a very neat com-
pliment paid to It this morning’ he
went on
'"Indeed?’
'"Yes A man asked me If I had
written It’”

N Y “it’s lightest punishment was to
make me ‘logy’ and dizzy and it
seemed to thicken up my blood
“The heaviest was when It upset my
stomach completely destroying my ap-
petite and making me nervous and Irri-
table and Bent me to my bed After
one of these attacks In which I nearly
lost my life I concluded to quit and
try Postum Food Coffee
"It went right to the spot! I found
It not only a most palatable and re-
freshing beverage but a food as well
"All my ailments the ‘loglnesB’ and
dizziness the unsatisfactory condition
of my blood my nervousness and irri-
tability disappeared In short order and
my sorely afflicted stomach began
quickly to recover I began to rebuild
and have steadily continued until now
