13 BAILEY WORRIED?
Senator Bailey of Texas says he
Is tired of being worried with the
Indian Territory. If his sentiments
nro to be taken as a criterion the
Territory lobuylsts will exporlonco a
dosperato time this wlntor In ob-
taining nudloncos. It is illltlcult to see
how Mr. Halley could rol'nqulsh utl
Interost In n country so near his
home and a country that now furn-
Ishos homos for so many of his form-
er constituents. Do It nil as It may
there arc probably somo extenuating
features to bo discovered. Mr. Halley
wanted doublo statehood and now
that he disclaims further Intorcst Is
sufficient c'ldcricc that he admits
slngto statehood Inevitable. Then
thero Is one feature abovo all othors
which serves to dlscourago not only
Senator Halley but everybody olse
In congross and that Is tho pcoplo
liavo never decided on a deflnlto plan
of action and conflicting resolu-
tions aro too often sent to tho com-
mlttco rooms. Every republican In
the Innd will do In ovory Instanco
what James Q. Dlatne said of Gar-
Hold that right or wrong ho would
havo never learned that much about
stick to his party but tho democrats
party harmony and the conventions
hold In tho Torrltory never Siosl-
tato on passing conflicting resolu-
tions. If Mr. Dalloy and othors aro
tired thero Is happily an alternative
and that alternative Is tho election
of a delegato to congress. Comment-
ing on tills move tho Kansas City
Journal says:
"Tho right movo Is now on foot In
that land of many conventions In-
Allan Territory. A new convention Is
to bo called not however for. tho
purpose of agitating the question of
doublo or slnglo stntohood but with
tho objcot of presenting and urging
In due and emphatic manner tho right
of tho Torrltory to havo a dolegate
to represent It In the national legis
lature. The plan which seems to be
In a fair way of execution. Is to Issue
a call within a couplo of weeks for
mass meetings In ovory recording
town nnd district of tho five nations
of the flvo civilized trlbos to soloct
mombors for n contral convention to
bo hold tho Sth of Octobor noxt at
South McAlostor. A raproscntatlvo
man will be selected at that time to
go to Washington with tho propor
credentials to present to the con'
grossloiial committee of olectlon the
right of Indian Torrltory to havo an
accredited dologate In tho halls of
congross.
"This movement will undoubtedly
moot with hoarty support from all
quarters Irrespective of politics. In-
dian Territory bosldos Its 90000 nn-
tlvos has a population ol nearly
500000 composed mostly of tho vory
best class of whlto cltlzons and yat

Ing that of Oklahoma nnd exceeding
that of tho two territories of Arizona

"If this fnattor is prosontod to
congross In a propor way that body
will realize tho wrong that 1b bolng
dono tho Torrltory by Ignoring hdr
constitutional rights and Will mako
a speedy correction. A delogato would
net as a wholosomo chock on tho ap
polntlvo olllcors who now rulo tho
flvo nations. Ho would naturally
bo antagonistic onough to these
non-rcsldont ofllco-holdors to make
thorn net with caution in tho dis-
charge of tholr dutlos. Ho would also
bo a powerful forco in securing tho
appointment of actual Territorial clt
lzens for judges commissioners in'
spectors nnd other subordinate pub
lie servants. The election of a del
cgato would mark the beginning of
the end of tho reign of tiie .-arpct
bagger and It would also expedite
tho longed-for removal of tho gov
ernment of tho Territory from tho
Interior department nt Washington
to tho placo whero it of riant be
longs."
