Peters on Oklahoma question urged in early congress action
Judge Peters, a rising Kansas figure reelected by about 10 000, told a Topeka reporter he would push the Oklahoma question in congress this winter. He said only regular appropriation bills would pass in the short session while Congress should set a policy on unoccupied Indian Territory lands and inform the Indians their titles are only occupancy.
