of this kind on the part of the peop'e
of Oklahoma or Indian Territory as an
attempt to bulldoze congress niul
whenever the people of those two ter-
. rltorlcs engage In bulldozing tactics
they are sure to line" the senator con-
tinned.
"But some tlili tet-n slates in the un-

ganized state forms ot government

and sent them to Washington with
a request that they bo admitted as the
represent nlves of the new state rati-
tled by the national congress" was
suggested.
"This Is true" the senator replied
"but conditions were entirely differ-
ent In every one of the thirteen In-
stances you refer to. The territories
applying for ndmlssslon had already
fixed boundaries. No lwrtlon of them
belonged to nn Indian reservation.
