  • Thomas H. Doyle (1863–1949), a son of Irish immigrants who settled in Massachusetts in the early 19th century, moved to Kansas after birth with his father and four siblings after the death of his mother. He worked in railroad construction to help the family finances, became a lawyer by reading law with an experienced attorney, passed the bar exam in Ottawa, Kansas, married a woman in Kansas City, then moved to the newly formed Oklahoma Territory in 1903, where they settled in a village now known as Perry, Oklahoma. Doyle became a very successful attorney in Perry, and soon became politically active. He was elected as a non-voting Democratic territorial representative to the U. S. Congress from 1896 to 1901. He was elected Speaker of the House in 1897. He became deeply involved with efforts to obtain statehood for Oklahoma Territory. He acquired the nickname, "Father of the Oklahoma Statehood Bill." Congress seemed to be stalemated politically over whether there should be a single state comprising both Oklahoma and Indian Territories. Doyle was appointed to present the case for a single state in a congressional debate in 1906. His opponent was Bird S. McGuire, who argued the case for creating two separate states. Doyle apparently convinced enough legislators with his well-reasoned presentation emphasizing the progress of people in both territories, as opposed to stoking the long-standing prejudice of many whites toward the natives that the result was to schedule the Oklahoma Organic Act, based on the single-state model for June 16, 1906 and the grant of statehood for November 16, 1907.
