Fielding Lewis Says Moon
Bill is Gaining Support-
ers iji Congress.
ADVOCATES SENDING
Capable lie preventative to
Washington to Work for the
Paf-eBge of the 131 1 1 When
it Goes Before the
Senate.
Major Fielding Liwisof South
McAlester has returned from
Wa'hington where he has been in
the interest of the Moon bill. In
Hft interview with a representative
qf the Capital he has summed up
the situation by faying:
"With proper nourishing the
Moon bill will become a law."
Mr. Lewis said that when he
arrived in Washington he fount!
that there were many person
there from Oklahoma and this ter-
ritory all of whom wtre working
for some pet scheme and it seemed
there was almost an .endless
chain of confusion in regard to
matters pertaining to territorial
legish'n but soon this was
changed . 1 the matter was sifted
down to two or three measures.
The three bifls mof t in favor and
mot seriously confifiered then
were the Stephens bill the Curtis
bill and the Moon bill and subse-
quently was introduced tle Scott-
)"r measure.
CI all these the Mocn bill root
the u.- ?t !u; rolls ir.f ?
ure. the Stephens bill has been
abandoned by its supporters the
Curtis bill and the Scott measures
are held up in the hands of the
committee on Indian affairs and
will not in my opinion be re-
ported upon until the Moon bill is
out of the way. This bill was actod
upon by a subcommittee which
went most exhaustively into the
affairs of the territory and finally
reported and was then presented
to the house by Congressman
Moon as the unanimous report of
the committee and it is now be
fore that body and will likely
come up for action in regular
couree in about two weeks. Con
gressmen have looked askance
upon all county scat measures and
when that was urged it was eald
that the establishment of counties
and county seats was a matter that
would properly belong .o the leg.
ielalure and that is why that im-
portant question was left out of the
Moon bill.
The work on such a bill as thi
is done altogether in committee
and when that committee reports
such a measure with its unini-
mous approval it is usually satis
factory to the vast majority of
congressmen and they will vote
for such a measure without ques-
tion. jFor this reason and that the
house is anxious to dispose of the
matter at this tension I think the
bill will have plain sailing in the
house and will pass that body
without any trouble. It will then
go to the '.senate where it will be
taken in band by the senate com-
mittee to which it will be practi-
cally new matter and of course the
senate committee will "went to be
informed as to its provisions and
it is there that the opponents of
the measure will try to get in their
work srd either gt it sj amend-
f. Sa tn be untifactory or have
it l.fld t"P lr.df finitely. Thut is
- il ... L JULjmH
where we will need to do our best
work and that is why in tr.y opin-
ion the territory should have an
accredited representative on the
ground fully able to answer all
questions and objections that may
come up and be able to check-
mate any move made to 'defeat
the bill by outside influence. Such
a man should have nothing else to
do and have no personal axe to
grind but should have the full
support of the entire territory.
