to call thia conference by ex

Prior to the conference Gov-
ernor Frantz who is a candidate
for tba nomination for governor.
% was called to the Whit* House
where the President and Sucre
tary Bonaparte were in confer,
ence. According to the state
ment made latter by Frantz at
the conference, the President
weilded to the "big stick." The
President according to Governor
Frantz, disliked the attitude of
the Oklahoma Republican lead-
ers. Be advised the Oklahoma
Republicans to return home,
"put out a ticket and make a
fightor give up the gun." The
President said he had seen a
parchment copy of the consti-
tution, which had been sent to
Secretary Bonaparte direct by
W. H. Murray, president of the
convention. The President,
however vouchsafed no comment
on the document.
BOrAPARTE IS FRIENDLY.
It is known that Secretar;
Bonaparte, who is the chief
mover in the Indian Rights as-
sociation, is very friendly to
Tarns Bixby, of Indian Territory.
He and Bixby have had several
conferences. Bixby is an ardent
advocate of the constitution
since he "wants statehood at
once "
At the conference Secretary
Taft's visit was discussed.
It was the opinion of the ma-
jority of the Republican con-
ferees from the new state that
the document shouId fail, Pre* I
dent Roosevelt should b* urged
to refuse to promulgate the
document.
Other.* opposed this sort of
action, but It it believed that
changes must be made in the
constitution, before it will meet
with lite approval of the Presi-
dent.
b. i. t. for it.
Doubt was expressed early in
the day that the representatives
of the Republican parly in In-
dian Territory could be induced
to act in unison with the Okla-
homa contingent, in an action to
defeat the constitution.
The men from Indian Turri
tory were disposed to endorse
the constitution, in order that
they might gain statehood, and
thus get the privilege of eradi-
cating the objectionable points
of the document.
They also expressed a fear
that in the event that statehood
should be lost on this occasion,
thus necessitating the passage
of a new enabling act, Oklahoma
territory might go it alone next
time and the Indian Territory
would be left out on a limb, so to
speak.
Representative James S.
Sherman, of New York; Repre
sentative 0. Loudenslager, of
New Jersey; chairman and
secretary repectively of the Re
publican congressional com-
mittee, Governor Frantz, Dele
gate Bird McGuire. foimer Dele
gate Dennis Flynn, and Senator
Curtis, of Kansas were among
those who participated in the
conference today.

The visitors discussed the
matter briefly with the President
and it is said that the President
was urged to sanction the fight
on the document at the poll*.
President Roosevelt would give
no statement of his attitude.
