QUESTION OF
PROHIBITION
ITS INSERTION INTO BILL WOULD
BE DEPRECATED.
Prominent Men and Prohibitionists
Declare It Would bs Much Better
for Statehood Bill to Pass
Without Requirement.
Tho queer endeavor to Inject a pro
Mbitlon clnitse Into tho Oklahoma
statehood discussion Is deprecated
oven ny some of those who may ho re
garded nil fnnntlcal on tho liquor
quostlon and the manly stand taken
by Tarns Dlxby and J. W. SCovoly
irom iiiuinn TerritOKy has elicited
strong commendation.
Tains Rlxby said: "Thoro Is no
question that It will be fur hotter for
tho statehood hill to ho passed with
out any such requirement ns prohl
tlon. Thore are many of us wlin lm.
llovo In prohibition but wo bollovc
that It ought to bo settled by the peo
ple 01 uio two territories. I am afraid
that It congress forces this upon the
pooplo It will have tho effect of male
InK them mad and causing prohibi
tion to receive a knockout so soon
as the pooplo begin to regulato their
affairs for themselves. That which Is
forced upon a people is likely to be-
como unpopular while If tho noonlo
are loft to settlo this question for
uiemseives they arc as likely as not
to voto for prohibition. I think that
It will be much wiser to leave this
wnoio thing to tho people.
Zovely agreed with .Dlxby: "The
people of tho new stato aro as well
posted as to what Is good for tho
Indians as congress fs" he said "and
I bollevo that thoso of us who live In
tho territory ought to know better
than congress what should be done.
The truth Is that the forcing of pro-
hibition upon tho people is practl-
cally certain to projudlco a majority
against it which would bo tho worst
thing that could happen fronv a pro-
hibition standpoint. It is universal-
ly ngrced anyhow that congress can-
not tako away from a sovereign
state tho right given by the constitu-
tion and the chances aro that tho now
Rtnto would repudiate anything of tho
kind. Leave tho whole thing to tho
people and they will settlo it wisely.
That U the practically universal
sentiment of tho people of tno two
territories."
1'. L. Sopor national committee for
Indian Territory spoke In tho same
strain. "In tho last few days" he
said some of the most prominent
prohibitionists In tho territory have
conio out right against congress forc-
ing prohibition upon us. Tho prohl-
!)ltlonlsts have como to tho conclu-
sion that the effect upon tho people
would bo highly prejudicial to prohi-
bition and that tho new stato would
knock out prohibition or any such
strango restriction as soon ns an
election was held. Congress I bo-
llovc will hear sUJngly from tho
people nlong theso lines."

Tho Salvlus was tho first car of tho

BILLS TO BE
INTRODUCED
SEQUOYAH PRESENTS ITS FINISH
TO CONGRESS TODAY.
Representative Murphy Will Also In-
troduce a Bill to Remove Restric-
tions on All Surplus Lands.
McGuIre Will Present Bill.
Washington Dec. 3. Representa-
tive .Murphy of Missouri will on Mon-
dy Introduce bills to admit Oklaho-
iim and Indian- Territory into tho
Union as twpartue states. He will nlo
Introduce a bill to remove tho romric
Italia on all tho surplus land of the
Indian. The ttll providing for the
admission 0r Indian Territory confeta
the lump of bequoynh on the pro-
hwbcu new birio ami is iiie measure
which is Intended to represent tho
action of the Muskogee convention.
The prospect of Independent state-
hood Is altogether so hopeless that
It was coming to be thought In Wash-
ington that the advocates of tho Se-
quoyah constitution hnd iilmndonou
their inirpope but Mr. Murphy de-
damn they will make a fight before

Dill if ono accept the general opin-
ion In Washlniftmi II mint lr n.i...
otic light If waged with the notion
that there Is any hope of success. Not
only Is separato stntohood regarded
ns Impossible but Joint statehood Is
rognrded ns Inovitnbio.
"I have never boforo predicted thnt
a statehood bill would get through
congress." Senator Heverldgo of In-
diana said today "but I now feel Jus-
tified In saying thnt congress will pass
n bill admitting Oklahoma nnd Indian
Territory as ono stnte nnd Arizona
and New Mexico as another."
Senator Uoverldgo Is chairman or
tho commltteo on territories. Tho
Hamilton bill of tho Inst session Is
tho one which will be Introduced
though It is probable that Delegate
McGuIre of Oklahoma will Introduce
a meas.iro differing from It In some
slight particulars.
Notwithstanding Senator Ueverldgn
Is confident as to tho Now Mexico
and Arizona proposition thero aro
many who though bollovlng firn'uy
that Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will bo admitted do not oxpect to see
tho other tw made Into a stnte. N.
O. Murphy formerly govornor of Ar-
izona and la e a delegate. In enngross
from that territory is in congress
trying to defeat Uie effort to Join
that territory with Now Mexico for
stntohood purposes.
"While in Washington this winter I
shall do what I can to provent what
I consider nn outrage" Gov. Murphy
said this afternoon. "No man Is moro
anxious to soo Arizona admitted than
myself but we nnd I can speak for
thn llllllf nf the !lllnlfln mnn nt mv
