The Third Oklahoma Legislature was a meeting of the legislative branch of the government of Oklahoma, composed of the Oklahoma Senate and the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The state legislature met in the Levy Building in Oklahoma City, beginning with a special session from November 28 to December 16, 1910, during the end of Governor Charles Haskell's term and ending with a regular session from January 3 to March 11, 1911, during the first year of the term of Governor Lee Cruce.[http://www.okhouse.gov/Documents/CenturyToRemember.pdf A Century to Remember] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910204833/http://www.okhouse.gov/Documents/CenturyToRemember.pdf |date=September 10, 2012 }}, Okhouse.gov. (accessed June 20, 2013) The Democratic Party, which already held the majority of seats in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, further increased the number of seats they held after the 1910 election.
