SUCH INFORMATION ACCREDITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Has Not Received Official Copy from President Murray of the Constitution but Has
Been Poisoned Against Some of Its Features the Hold-up Is Looked Upon
Here as An Insult to the Kramers of the Constitution and Is Not
Believed by the Intelligent Voters of the New State.
Washington May 9. There will bo
no statehood for Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory under the constitution
as It Is now formulated. The only way
the Democrats there can sae state-
hood Is to reassemble tho contention
and eliminate the geirymai.der and
other obnoxious provisions of tho doc
ument. This information came di-
rect from tho Whlto House today.
Wlillo tho official copies of tho con
stitution promised tho President by
Chairman Murrny liavo not arrived
tho President has been advised of tho
objectionable features which are
kilo -vn to bo In tho document and de-
clares In tones that could not be mis-
understood that ho would turn down
tho constitution.
Democratic leaders horo aro advis
ing Oklahoma democrats to reassem-
ble the convention and put out a re-
spectnblo constitution.
Washington D. C. May 9. Mr. Mur-
ray president of tho Oklahoma con-
stitutional convention has nddrossed
a letter to the president Jn which ho
asserts the copy of the constitution
submitted to tho chief executive Is not
an authorized nor a correct one. In
consequence of this latter the presi
dent has ordered Attorney (lenernl
Ilonnparto to cease the further con-
sideration of the document transmit-
ted to him. The copy In question was
handed to tho president by Hepresen-
tatlvo Watson. It Is understood that
Mr. Watson received the ropy fnm
his brother who Is clerk of ono of the
courts In Oklahoma and that he wns
acting in good faith In submitting It
to tho president as a correct trans-
script. Mr. Murray In his letter says
no copy has been made of tho consti-
tution and that when one is made It
will be sent to the president.
Hon. J. Clint Graham delegato to
the constitutional contention from tho
Marietta district expressed himself ns
follows on the dispatch published In
tho Dallas News from Washington:
"I havo seen tho dispatch publish-
ed from Washington and this Is In my
opinion one of the many statements
that Is supposed to havo been made
by tho president and not made by him
the same as tho statement that Is sup-
posed to have been nindo by tho pres.
Ident In regnrd to the corporation ar-
tlclo which nfterwards proved to ho
untrue. In fact the president has
made no such statement not ns yet
hiving received an official ropy of
Uio constitution ns promised him. Mr.
Itoosovclt Is a big enough man and
a brave enough man to make his state
ments over his official signature. The
official copies of the constitution have
not been furnished him ns they havo
not been printed ns yet and w.heu lio
receives ono he will speak out over
his owi. uirnaturo. It Is the work of
many republican who aro giving the
newspapers stittouieutH with a view
of creating n feeling against tho con.
Htltutlon."
O. A. Henshaw who was delegate
to tho convention from the Mnillll dis-
trict had tho following to say.
"Inasmuch as the president has wir-
ed Dennis Klynn to come to Washing
ton to confer with him. It leaves a
false impression on tho corporation
provision ns to the attitude the pres
Ident has been Inking In regnrd t.i
the government of the railroads anil
other coporatlons. The attitude Is
veiy strange because cf the fact that
rlnii Is a roriHiratlon lnwyo.
"The president may havo a false Im-
pression ronvejed to him If ho takes
the llgures of tho republican perry
mnnilerlng for tho Inst election for
delegates when the vote In the demo-
cratic primary was larger than the
voto In tho general election. In my
opinion the report Is one of tho many
ennards that nro being Improvised by
the republicans."
.A number 4f olber promlni nt demo-
crats were seen this moinlng and all
express)' the same opinion ns to the
special to tho Nows from Washington
relative to tho attitude of tho prcsl.
dent believing that Roosevelt Is too
big a man to Judge matters hastily
and that ho Is willing to glvu fair
play to everybody.
