When Oklahoma and In-

a State
Whe.i the new state of Oklahoma U
admitted Into the Union among the
candidates for United Stftfes senntor
will be Governor Jenkins Delegate
Flynn and Bx-Governor Uarnos. It Is
said that Mr. Flynn already has his
trolley working while Mr. DarneB Is
not idle. Mr. Jenkins naturally Is
silent.
The Republicans are fixing up a big
juicy mess (which by the way won't
take i. and will try to enrry things
with throe-nco hands. Throwing light
on the-mattor n dispatch from Mus-
kogee says:
The ratification of tho Creole treaty
by the Indians nt Okmulgoe moflns
mucit In the way of new legislation
and politics In the Ir.dlnn teiritory.
It will no doubt bring out various as-
pirants for political proaltgo nnd
towns for commercial ndvnntage. It
is stated on good authority In fact Jt
came from Congroosmnn Curtis nnd
Senator Quarels that a bill would bo
Introduced at tho noxt sosslon of con
gross adding Indian torritory to Ok
lahoma. Tho bill will cut tho torrl-
torlcs Into soma twonty counties nnd '
eatabllsh county 'floats which action
of courso will bring about much ac-
tivity on the part of rival towns and
cause a spirited contest when tho bill
which Is now being framed is Intro-
duced. This bill of which a rough
draft has beon mndo will carry with
It the appointment of two offtoers ono
a register of deeds and one clerk of
the court In each county to be ap-
pointed from Washington. This of
c ourse will mean much politics and
already various congressmen are fig-
uring on paying some political obli-
gations In this way. Especially wljl
Congressman Curtis nnd Senntor
Qunrles be active in that respect.
Bill Carries Appointments.
Following this will como n terri-
torial form of govornmont nnd a fight
for tho location of tho capital In tho
new stnto that will bo mado out of
Oklahoma and Indian torritory which
now stand when Joined togothor
Bomewhnt Democratic. Tho Republi-
cans howover hope that with tho
opening of tho countiy tho Influx of
population will come mostly from tho
North and East nnd thus ovorcome
tho Democratic majority. Thon thoro
than moro politics and that is tho
Ik another nnd more voxlng question
fight bptwean Oklahoma nnd Indian
territory as to location of the capital.
This light will be between Oklahoma
City Guthrie Muskogee and South
McAlester.
Quarels on Statehood
i he fact that Muskogee has several
hundred government officials located
there and that all tho officials of the
federal govornmont In tho Indian ter-
ritory are In sympathy with tho move-
ment to mnko It tho capital will have
some weight In congress. Congress-
man Curtis and Senator Quarels said
this would bo dono within tho noxt
two yoars. When naked somo time
ago. why double statehood could not
bo brought about Senator Quarols
stated that such a bill could not pass
the senate from the mere fact that
the Eastern senators would not con-
sent to tho West having four new sen-
ators which would follow double
statehood and thus endanger tho
Eastern majority In tho senate. Sen-
ator Burton of Kansas was of the
anmo opinion an Quarels when ashed
about his vlows.
Scrlpps-McIUe l'rMfl Asm.
Washington D. C May .' Offi'l
nls ot the Interior department say tne j
work of allotment In the Kiowa Co -
manche and Apache reservation will j
have been completed by June i). Last
week Assistant Secretary Ryan told a.
correspondent tlmt this work had
rcaehed such a stag that he expected
the field force tee finish It by June 15.
Saturday the Interior department re- j
celved front Inspector Nessler 5ti0
more allotments. This brings the at I
gregate number of allotments up to
1600 and there will be about 600 1
more. It Is riow believed tho wot k j
can be completed by June 1.
It has been learned that the proe'e-
matlon opening the reservation to set-
tlement has been drafted and Is urir
present consideration by the presi-
dent nnd Secretary Hitchcock. Titer"
was some talk of it being Issued
while the presidential party was ir
the Went but the abandonment of the
trip In the Northwest rendered this
step unnecessary. The proclamation
probably will como out within the
next two weeks. It will Include an-
nouncement of the elaborate Bystem
which has been agreed upon between
the Interior department nnd tho of-
ficers of the department of Justlco for
drawings to dotermlno the order In
which application for the homostends
In tho reservation will be considered.
The department of Justice has thor-
oughly ennvnssod tho scheme nnd hits
advised Secretary Hitchcock that its
every feature Is legal. As thirty dayg
aro to bo allowod for filing applica-
tions for hotnostonds nnd as the Jaw
nrovjdos that tho rosorvntlon'ue
opened not lator than August G it
will bo necessary for tho proclama
tion to bo issued before June 30.
Activity Among Republicans.
- Tho. fact that right after Congress-
man Curtls's and Senator Quarols's
visit to the torritory there Is much
activity on tho part of RopuBlTlffiifB
goes to show that thoy will muko a
blg'flght to gain control of the politics
of tho country. A number of negro
emigration bureaus have been Incor-
porated nnd thousands of negroes
will be brought into the territory and
placed on plantations.
A number of the present politicians
of the East side are active and Judge
Thomas Marshal Dennett Judge
Clayton and Chief Porter will be
prominent candidates for the senate
and congress when things shape them-
selvos. Qelogato Flynn and Governor
Jenkins probably will bo candidates
for tho United Stntos senate when
the now state Is formed.
