AN APPEAL TO LEASE HOLDERS


THE ratification Of the Dawes
Choctaw treaty means the absO-
lutte confscatiOn Of all property
interests in the Chickasaw
nation held by non-citizens and
derived from lease-holdings.
A representative farmer con-
vention assembled at Ardmore,
Jan. u, '97, and by a unani-
nous vote elected Hon. S. Nj.
Tolbert, a bona fide farmer of
Mannsville, l. T., to go to
Washington at once and protest
in the name of 10000 lease
holders against the ratification
of that treaty. Every district
in the Chickasaw nation was
represented at the meeting and
it was the universal opinion
and thought that only by quick
concerted action could absolute
ruin be averted. The expenses
of Mr.. Tolbert must be paid by
the parties interested, and we,
the committee appointed on
ways and means, recommend
the following plan and anxious
ly request the cooperation of
lease holders throughout the
nation.
Organize leagues at each
school house and postoffice in
the nation. Elect a chairman
and secretary. Solicit sub
scriptiOns from the members of
the league and at once forward
the money thus raised to Capt.
John l.. Gait at ArdmOre,s Ind.
Ter. Delay means penury and
it is only by the most prompt
action that any thing can be
accomplished. Organize! or
ganize at once, and let us
make a fight in the halls of con-
gress to protect the homes of
our wives and children.
