CONVENTION
REPUBLICANS TO MEET AT TUL-
SA ON JUNE 6
Will Then D clde Party Attitude To-
ward, Constitution and the Put-
ting Out of a Sta*e Ticket—
Anti-Constitution Senti.
ment Is Strong
OKLAHOMA CITY: The republic-
an central committee (or Oklahoma
and Indian Territory Thursday Issued
■a call (or a state convention to be held
at Tulsa June 6 (or the purpose of
deciding whether a state ticket will
be put In the field with promises of
submitting amendments to the con-
stitution or put out no ticket and fight
the adoption o( the constitution at
the election on August 6. The com-
mittee as well as the republicans at-
tending the aeiHions seemed almost
a unit against the constitution, but
divided as to the method of fight-
ing it.
County caucuses will be held
throughout the two territories Wed-
nesday, May 29, to choose delegates
to county conventions which will
name representatives at the state
fathering.
The meeting was largely attended
and oratory was the chief program. J.
C. Prengey of Kendrlcl., Cash Cade of
Shawuee, T. N. Kobnett of Ardmore,
Delegate McQuIre, Dennis Flynn and
others spoke against the constitution
and against the putting out of a state
ticket. Henry P. Hobblns of South
McAlester led the fight. for the adop-
tion of the constitution, but the sen-
timent of the meeting was manifestly
against him.
Delegate McOuire was warmly ap-
plauded when he stated that Speaker
Joe Cannon o( the national house of
representatives assured hlm In Wash-
ington recently that if the democratic
convention, then in session, were
to make a failure and the republic-
ans deemed It wise to vote the con-
stitution down, congresti would, with-
out doubt, give Oklahoma a new and
better enabling act.
It would be an easy matter, Dele-
gate McOuire said, to extend the pres-
ent laws of Oklahoma Territory over
Indian Territory. The speaker was
emphatic, asserted Mr. McGulre, that
within slxtr or ninety days at the
farthest after convening the next con-
gress would allow Oklahoma the pro-
posed enabling art. He urged repub-
Ilcah voters to stand for principle,
sympathizing with the Indian Terri-
tory In Its present unsatisfactory con-
dition.
Dennis Flynn Introduced a resolu-
tion condemning the (allure o( the
convention to file the constitution
with the secretary of state and de-
claring that Governor Frantz had ab-
solutely nothing on which to base his
proclamation for an election, as pro-
vided for on August 6. The resolu-
tions also advocated the assembling
of a state convention to determine tha
attitude of the party toward the con-
stitution and the advisability of nam-
ing a state ticket.
With not a dissenting vote the res-
olution passed amid prolonged ap-
plause.
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas
was the next speaker. He enlarged
opon the many favors the republican
party had conferred on Oklahoma. If
the constitution Is not carried this
time, he declared, the voters could
rest assured of another enabling act
from congress which would eventually
bring them statehood.
Mr. Wright, a Chickasaw Indian, of
Olney, I. T., was one of the speakers.
He said that every Indian In the In-
dian Territory as far as he had ascer-
tained by careful Investigation was
against the constitution on the
grounds that It by no means met their
Ideas of government. They would far
rather wait, he said, and secure a sat-
isfactory constitution.
The Tulsa convention will be com-
posed of 1.574 delegates and Indica-
tion, are that It will be a lively ses-
sion.

A lively contest over the election of
grand chancellor was precipitated
when Robert Williams of Altus, one of
the candidates, gave out a published
interview in which he charged that a
slate had been prepared for the elec-
tion of the officer. The conven

defeated soon after the article became
public.
During the sessions the convention
was addressed by H P. Brown, vice
grand chancellor of Cleburne, Texas,
and C. F. S. Neal of the endownment
rank of Chicago.
