Oklahoma Admitted as a State

Oklahoma and Indian Territories have been admitted into the sisterhood of states of the United States as the State of Oklahoma. A constitutional convention has been appointed, 55 members to be chosen from each of the territories. Male whites or male Indians twenty-one years of age are eligible to this convention. The sale of intoxicating liquors in what is now Indian Territory is prohibited for twenty-one years, and for longer time unless the constitution is changed.
