Knox Seconded by Pennsylvania for 1908 Nomination
The Pennsylvania state convention endorses Knox as a Roosevelt policy champion and potential presidential candidate. It signals Knox as a favorite son, with Pennsylvania’s 68 votes likely to back him, though state voting patterns over past elections suggest limited prospects for a Republican from Pennsylvania. Other states may declare preferences in 1907 for governors and national figures, but such declarations do not bind the 1908 convention.

Oklahoma Constitution Highlights From New State Plan
Oklahoma's new constitution emerges as a landmark document after weeks of convention work. Key provisions include a twenty one year prohibition for Indian Territory followed by a public vote, a ban on witnesses using incrimination pleas, a soldier vote ban, direct senate elections when allowed by federal law, initiation and referendum, and enhanced powers for the legislature to define trusts.
