B. S. Barnes Hears From Senators (1904)

It was in 1904, Sunday, 2 October, The Wichita Daily Eagle, out of Wichita, Kansas, page 10, headlines read: "Hears From Senators." Mr. B. S. Barnes of Ponca City, O.T., had written to and received replies from all the US Senators in regards to the position of the two political parties in reference in statehood for Oklahoma and Indian territory. Should the new state be two states or united into one state?

It makes you wonder "what if," doesn't it? What if there had been two states added (Oklahoma and Indian Territory) to the Union? What would it look like today in the 21st Century?
