POLITICAL
SITUATION
DISCUSSED BY CHAIRMAN JESSE
DUNN. MEETING AT SHAWNEE
WAS SATISFACTORY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS
la Oklahoma City Next Monday to
Piaa for the Coming
Campaign
Alva Ok.. July 13. Jesse J.
Dunn of Alva chairman of the de-
mocratic congressional committee
of Oklahoma territory is home
srom at tending the democratic
meeting at Shawnee. Interviewed
concerning the conference and the
political situation he said:
"The result of the union of the
two democratic committees of In-
dian Territory effected at Shawnee
Monday is in eveiy way satisfac-
tory to the democracy of the new
state. The organization is complete
and in flue fighting trim through-
out being made up of the strong-
es men of the party in all sections.
A joint executive committee was
elected by the election of two prom-
inent democrats in each of the con-
gressional districts and is called to
meet for the purpose of organiza-
at the Threadgill hotel in Oklaho-
ma City on Monday the 16th inst.
"There will be a full meeting Jot
the committee at this time when
in kll probability a chairman sec-
retary and treasurer will be select-
ed and headquarter opened for the
immediate prosecution of vigorous
and effective work throughout the
state
"A press bureau will be estab-
lishd at once and assistance of a
naterial character will be render-
ed to the democratic newspapers.
"Arrangements have been made
for the immediate organization in
each of the districts and not with
standing the partisan gerryman-
dering which has been made of
them there is no reason why they
should not all send a democrat to
congress.
"Notwithstanding the fact that
Oklahoma territory has with one
exception always sent a republican
to congress Oklahoma Is normally
democratic from five to ten thou-
sand votes on every county official
that has been elected in the last
three campaigns. This is an exact
showing of the official count.
There always has been a democrat-
ic majority of the legislative officers
and now that Oklahoma has been
emancipated by the passing of the
enabling act democrats will vote
their principles and the coming
congressional convention will have
a good-working majority of demo-
crats in it. The people of the new
state are looking to the democratic
party to prorect their rights and
with thorough organization they
will not be disappointed. There is
no question but that the new state
is democratic from thirty to thirty-
five thousand majority. Organiza
tion which will deliver this vote at
the polls and then see to it that it
is properly counted will make suc-
cuss absolutely certain. The very
best of feeling exists throughout
the entire organization and the
party militant is anxious fcr the
fray."

THE ROADS
ARE OPENED
ON SECTION LINES REPRESEN-
TATIVE OF INDIAN ACENT HAS
BEEN DOING COOD WORK
TO OPEN TRADE TERRITORY
For Chu kasha Making the Town More
Accessible to the Farmers More
To Follow.
Klvin Lowe a representative of
Indian Agent Kelsey has been
here the past week working in
connection with the Commercial
Club and going over the territory
adjacent to town for the purpose of
opening roads along section lines.
Petitions began to come in to
the club from farmers soon after
the Curtis bill was passed and Sec-
retary Leech at once entered into
correspondence with Mr. Kelsey
relative to the proced ure to be fob
lowed and the visit of Mr. Lowe
was the result of the correspond-
ence. Mr. Leech prepared maps show-
iug the lines along w hich it was
desired to open roads and Mr
Lowe in company with Major
Smith and others have been going
over the grounds giving orders to
land owners. Ten day's notice is
given and the department will pay
all damages resulting from the
opening of the roads. The dam-
ages have been very small thus far.
It has been the purpose to select
the most feasible and practical
routes and ones that will accommo
date the most people. It was also
aimed to open roads where the ex-
pense of putting them in passable
condition would be the smallest.
The government pays only the
first cost of opening the roads and
the various communities will have
to bear the expense of putting them
in proper condition.
During the past week orders
have been given for the opening of
about 75 miles of roads in the
Chickasha trade territory. One
line begins in the South-west part
of the city and runs south to Nin-
nekah with cross roads as feeders
while two miles west the first sec-
tion line east of the meridian is
opened South for about twelve or
15 miles. The line running
through the east part ot the city
was taken and run north to a point
about three miles from Pocasset
and thence east and north up as
far as 1'oceasset aud thence east.
A connection was made from this
line witr the East bridge and a line
was also run to the toll bridge and
thence east aud north. These lines
will greatly shorten the distance to
be traveled by the people north
north-east and east of the city and
will open a large trade territory.
A line was also opened through
the Frank Baker place South-east
of town which will prove of great
convenience.
Since Mr. Lowe came many
farmers have become interested in
the movement and are sending in
petitions and Mr. Lowe promises
to return soon to take up the work
again.
