Since the cohorts and satellites here OF w
A. Phillips have found ont that II is next tC
impossible TO get council 70 employ him AM
longer they are trying TO work scheme. Tn,
plan is to get Phillips delegates. so they may
employ him. as the treaty Of 1895 provides that
the national council or delegation may employ
attorneys, TO transact business for them
Hence II our council wants 10 place itself on
record against this man, Il will have to keep
sharp lookout. and not let the delegation be
, made OF that kind OF material. Their talk IL
that they want = large, liberal delegation
This means = majority OF whom can be handled
in Phillips interest. Watch this point, coun-
cilors and senators, for tho nation, (the peo-
ple) will hold you just as accountable for send
ing Phillips delegates, as they would Phillips
himself, and It would be right to hold you &C.
eountable for so doing.
