:!: WITH POLITICIANS
HON. ROOT. L. OWEN.
lion ltobt. U Owen of MiiBkogce
today autlrtirlzes tho Ardmorelte to
aunouncc his candidacy for the United
States Senate.
Col. Owen has IsBiicd nn nddresn to
tho voters of tho new state. TblH
nddrcB nppenrs on page two of this
lMiio. llo makes It plain that tho need
of tho now slate nbovo nil else Is
people to till our rcbuurccful eoll
not only people who will rent the
hunts hut quietly people who will buy
land and bitlld homes and become u
part or us. Col. Owen fays In part:
"I belluvo that the restrlctlonr .
on the sale and Iciibo uf lauds.
belonging to our citizens whether
of Indian blood or not should bo
removed mid the persons who nro
truly Incompetent should bo prtn
tected by tho probate law I nut
thoroughly satisfied tho present
restrictions do not really protect
tlmso Intended to be safogunrded.
"1 bellevo It should bo the duty
of tho Senators of tho new stato
to Insist upon Congress immedi-
ately removing tho restrictions
fullhlood homesteads excepted
and thus removing the I'ederal
nlllclals who lAiw domlmito Indian
Territory under Instructions from
Washington. Tho fact that many
of these olllclnls nrc men of tho
highest character In no wlso mod-
ules thlg view."
Col. Owen has n very correct hloa
on the question of removal of restric-
tions. It Is the paramount iiietlou In
the new state nnd Col. Owen rvcoK
nlies this fact. When we get restric-
tions removed we will get laud-owners
who are almost certain to be goo!
pcuplo. Had people do not go to the
farms and build homtn.
The Ardmorelte looks for some Im-
portant changes In locnl conditions In
Indian Territory Immediately follow-
ing the fli'wt session of congress where
in nro seated our duly elected dele-
gates. This Is our hope and our only
hope that tho restrictions on tho sale
nud lease of lands belonging to our
citizens will ever bo removed. The
men whMiu we relcct to icso respou-
Mldo position:! of honor nro the men
upon whom we will depend to get
farm peoplo hero mid thus benefit not
only the state but otery city town
and vlllago In It.
A nillltun more peoplo would In-
crease our land values would take up
must ot tho Idle laud nnd ndd Im-
mensely to the tax collector's Income.
We need tho people nud wo could get
them easily If wo succeed in gelling
restrictions removed.
