The Way and Statehood Par-
tisans are Rapidly Losing
. Confidence.
DIVIDED INTERESTS
Of the Twin.Territories the Argu-
ment to he Incorporated in
Committee Report in De-
fense of Adverse Ac
tion.
Advocates of statehood for the
territories are losing hope of fa-
vorable action from congress at
this session. Few of thein expect
a favorable report from the com.
mittee which baa been holding
hearings tor a month past.
It might be possible to secure
favorable action from the house if
there was ny hope ol tbe senate
yielding to tbe demand of the
western people but the senate as
it now stands is unalterably op
poaed to increasing tbe member-
ship from the smaller western
states with their leanings toward
tbe democratic party.
If Indian territory and Oklaho-
ma had appeared belore congress
united and enthusia&tic for single
aUtehood for both territories it
might have been difficult for con-
gress to have ignored the appeal.
There would have been no really
good reasou lor turning down
the application for admission
made by 1 000000 people of a
stable and wealthy community.
Indian territory and Oklahoma
however are Cabling each other.
Ir.dian territoiy fears lis absorb-
tion by Oklahoma and tbe Indian
element in Indian territory also
realizes that if it was governed by
a vote of tbe people the 300000
whites would concede little au-
thority to the 73000 Indians who
now really con'rol tbe situation.
This war between tbe people of
two sections of practically one ter-
ritory is sufficient excuse to pre-
vent serious consideration of the
claims for statehood for a commu-
nity which would at once send two
senators and five members of the
houee to Washington as its dele-
gat imi in tbe national council.
Arizona is democratic as also is
Nw Mexico. Neither ol these
territories posee?es the claims to
consideration popcepsed by Okla-
homa and wtile the people of
those Itrrittries are making a
brave and strenuous fight for state-
hood they have little show of se-
curing it.
Another phase of the question
which has been taken into consid-
eration especially in tbe senate in
regard to Oklahoma is the shift
ing character of tbe majority vote
in that section of Ibe United
States. Should industrial deprf s
eion come once more to tbe west
it is said Oklahoma would follow
tbe tred so noticeable through
that entire belt. Nebraska Kan
sa and Oklahoma are fettled by
practically the same class of peo-
ple sod their political tendencies
are sgrarian or as it is more com
monly called prpn'ittic. It will
be a h i g time end ccnditiccs will
have to changa materially before
the senate will agree to increase
its membership from territories of
this political character.
The admission of Montana Utab
Idaho and the Dakotas has served
the purpose of bringing about an
ultraconservative attitude toward
tbe admission of any more states
and while Oklahoma can eho.w
greater reason for consideration
"ban .any territory which has been
uiad a state it will - probably be
some timH before even that com-
munity receives the privilege of a
commonwealth.
