Don't Forget the Date:
August 18th, 18th and 2Ist, 1907.

The National party Of the Cher
okee nation held its annual con-
vention this week at the conven-
ton grounds on Fourteen Mile
creek, eight miles north OF Table
quah. This meeting has been
held for years on the second Mon
day in August, and is always large
ly attended. The two or three
days generally consumed are de-
voted TO speech making, barbe-
cuing, preaching, drinking and
fighting. At the meeting year
ago, two men were killed and two
more dangerously wounded in a
fight between midnight and day.
The meeting this year no doubt
was a kind Of jubilee as the re-
turns from the late election show
that the iullbloods have it pretty
much all their own way this year,
and are in full control and author
ity. That the real Indian is to
have say in the closing scenes Of
Indian autonomy in this territory
meets with the approval Of all,
but is questionable whether he
will be able to d. much for his
people IN so far as perpetuating the
Indian government. However, it
will be a source OF satisfaction to
him to be given control Of national
afnirs al this time

would have swept Delaware dis
trict at the late election had not
Hoolie Bell saddled himself upon
them. Bell has always claimed to
be Downing, but he saw that the
Nationals would be strong this
year, so he went and broke into
the convention and tried to force
the party TO accept his services.
Had the Nationals nominated true
Nationals only, doubtless they
