Statehood Will Abolish Many Lucrative Offices In Indian Territory
Meskogee June 16. The statehood bill will wipe out the federal court regime in Indian Territory replacing four districts with one. Salaries for judges, marshals, clerks, district attorneys, and deputies will disappear as residents resign for new state opportunities. The commission to the five civilized tribes will continue, and the Indian agency will endure for years. Separately, Indianapolis reports the National Editorial Association in session with editors from across the nation. Bryan is the Democratic choice for President while Roosevelt is popular among Republicans for 1900 tariff revision and antitrust measures.
