maintain that the man who owns
the occupancy of this sort of a lot
shall be allowed to take it and own
it as his own property by simply
paying $1,000. But in that case,
what becomes of the other So, 600?
He puts that little sum of the peo-
ple's property down into his
pocket.
Now that National party objects
to that; they say it is not fair.
What say you, reader?
But this is not all. 1t is fair to
assume that the value of the av-
erage allotment among the people
at large will not exceed 81, 900; for
the purpose ofillustrating the point
let US take it to be just one thous-
and dollars. This town man now,
you see, has already $4,000 of
the common Cherokee property;
but he is allowed still to go out in
to the country and take another
thousand dollars of the common
estate in the form of an allotment;
that is, he gets $4,000 worth of the
property, which is equal to four al
lotments, while the man who lives
in the country gets only one.
The National party is opposed
TO this scheme of allotment as
wholly unjust to the common peo-
pie. The Downing party are in
favor of it. What say you, reader?
Which party is in the right here
and deserving your support?
| Now let it be noticed here that
the wrong proposed by the Down
ing men in this unfair plan Of al
lotment bears equally hard upon
all citizens, Cred, white and black, J
who happen to live outside of the
towns, and have no hand in this
great townsite speculation. The
white adopted citizen and the full
blood here stand upon the same
footing; they are the victims alike
Of the same proposed outrage, and
have the same motive for resisting

method employed by the Downing
men to induce the adopted citizen
to vote their ticket; it is my pur-
pose now to submit one good and
sufficient reason why they had
better not do SO, but vote the Ma
tional ticket instead.
In the first place, there is no
politics in the present campaign.
In order that there should be any,
thing like politics, there must
needs be dy-politic, or nation
atty; but our Cherokee nation is
now extinct. The only question
of any interest to us now, is what
shall be done with our common
property, our lands and invested
funds; how, in case of allotment,
they are to be shared among the
people; equally or unequally.
Neither party has, as yet, pub
lished any platform, but this
makes no difference. no platform
is needed. The history of the two
parties, (heir recent history, is
platform enough Tor them, respect
lively. The difference between the
two parties is clearly enough ex-
planned in the text of the Musko-
gee agreement The Downing
members Of the commission made
that agreement; the National men,
bers opposed it, and refused to
sign it. That agreement shows
what the Downing policy is in ref
erence TO the allotment of our
lands. The Downing party are in
favor of reserving townsites, and
so provided in their agreement
with the Dawes commission. The
National party. objected to that
provision, with others, as unjust
to the common people. The
Downing men said it was right;
they were in the majority, and
forced it through over the heads
of the National members, and. as
far as they were concerned, made
it a binding bargain.
The reason why the National
party is opposed to this townsits
measure is good and plain enough.
These town lots, included in
those vast bodies of land called
townsites. are the common prop
erty of the Cherokee people, and,
in case of allotment, the National
party insist that they should be
allotted among the people just as
the country lands are allotted.
But the Downing men say no;
these town lands shall not be al
lotted, but must be reserved from
allotment and divided up among
the town-men at half price; and
then, they say, these same town.
men, after getting this big grab
out of the common property, must
be allowed to go out into the coun-
try and take an allotment out there
equal with the poor man who lives
in the woods. Now the National
party say this is not fair. Wolf
Coon objects to 1t; is not the Coon's
head level on this point3
Take case and see for yourself
how it works. The lands within
these townsites are now being sold,
even to non-citizens who are by
law incompetent to take title, at
prices averaging thousand dol
lars per acre: they are worth that
| in the market; and some business
| lots, without the improvements
would doubtless bring as much g
