November 1907 - New State Notes

On this date, Nov. 10, 1907, The Daily Oklahoman, mentioned the following items in their "New State Notes."

"How many quarts of whisky will be onroute to Indian territory points from dealers in the states on November 17 (1907)?" -- Atoka Indian citizen

"Even is Chickasha didn't get the university, she gets the next convention of the Baptist association. This might be called winning the consolation prize."

"A number of saloon men at Enid are preparing to quit business when the territory is admitted to statehood, and there are some who are getting ready to be law breakers and run joints."

"The Enid Democrat complains because it has to transport its 'freight' some distance owing to an obstruction of mud and crushed rock in front of the office. We would sympathize more with the Democrat if we were not aware it is not a 'boiler plate' paper."

"Through the strenuous fight for the state capital that is being made by the El Reno American, nearly every prominent citizen in the town has been persuaded to come out flat-footed for El Reno as the only proper place for the capital -- a good move even if it goes no further than to rouse public spirit."
