This Is especially true In Indian ter-

In holding the convention at Musko-
goo tho friends of. single statehood
aro not unmindful ot tho lact that
thoy will encounter tho mot cnpablo
opponenU of their plans In t vory
stronghold of doublo statehood. Tho
solactlon ot Muskogee as promodl-
tatel howovor as tho holding ot tho
convention thouQ will provoke tho
strongest opposition poaalbla md will
put on record tho men who espouse
the cause of separate statehood and
possibly call forth Individual reasons
for their opposition. The slnglo
statjhood men are willing to answer
nil arguments nghinst a single form
of government and o submit their
reaaonlJg to the members of next
congress. They are convinced that
uo congress will ever consent to give
g-parmte sta'ehood to both territories
owing to the sentiment agilnst un-
duly increasing the number of sena-
tor: and congressmen.
