Excerpt from Report of the Governor of Oklahoma to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Year Ended June 30, 1905 That the people of this Territory are capable of exercising in the highest degree the rights of government is a fact self-evident to all who are conversant with the social conditions which prevail here, where we have a cosmopolitan citizenship representing the very highest standards of intellectual and moral development. The Two Territories. For years it has been the opinion of the statehood promoters that Oklahoma and the Indian Territory would ultimately be included in the area of one State. An agitation was first commenced in Oklahoma for immediate statehood for this Territory, with the provision that the Indian Territory should be added when conditions would permit. It became evident that Congress would not admit one Territory without the other. The sentiment now prevailing in Oklahoma is for immediate joint statehood, and a similar sentiment, beyond question, prevails in the Indian Territory. The proposed State will be very rich in natural resources and possibilities along all lines of development. The Indian Territory has already demonstrated, even under difficulties, a great capacity for progress. The towns have built with a wonderful rapidity. The population is largely represented by that hardy, energetic class of American citizens who do things and develop Commonwealths when given an opportunity. While the people of the Indian Territory have built cities and made marvelous advancement along many lines, yet they are handicapped by numerous embarrassing conditions. They are deprived oi the rights and advantages of government. Their general school facilities throughout the country are limited. They also are devoid of power to provide for roads and highways, as well as many other things essential to a civilized community. It has been argued that the Indians are not ready for the conditions which will prevail under statehood. The probabilities are that they are as nearly prepared now as they would be at any future time. With a large number of well-educated progressive Indians among them, it is reasonable to believe that former tribal traditions will be soon forgotten, and that these people can and will adjust themselves to the new conditions which will come under statehood, and that they will without much difficulty assume the responsibilities of citizenship. This is especially probable if they have the proper safeguards thrown around them for their protection. Many of the leaders among the Indians realize that the inevitable is at hand and that the sooner their people learn that "old things have passed away" the better it will be for them. For years conditions in the various Indian nations have been growing toward statehood and a new order of things. Civilization has placed her hand upon the Indian Territory. The grasp is firm and will never be relinquished. The best way for all heretofore opposing forces would be to step aside and let civilization pursue her destiny without obstacle or hindrance. It is sure to come. Why not now? Again, there are thousands of people from the States who have gone into the Indian Territory.
