REPUBLIC SPECIA.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Vinita. l. T., July lot Is reported here
that Judge William M. Springer may be
supplanted as attorney for the Cherokee
Nation as soon the Tribal Council meets
next November. Colonel John S. CARPENTER
OF Chanute, kas, is said to be slated as
his successor. This was announced after
conference between Chief BURLINGTON,
Colonel Carpenter and F. r. Foley of Par
sons, Kas, that was held in this city yes
terday.
The deal. 1t is said. was manipulated by
Senator Burton of Kansas, and it goes
back to the naming of Lit S. Crum for the
United States Marshalship in Kansas by the
same political leader several days ago.
Colonel Carpenter was al; aspirant for
the marshalship and had enlisted enough
influence to make him dangerous factor
In the race.
dacy OF Crum. did not wish to antagoniZe
the Carpenter faction, so he promised po-
sition Of equal emolument to their candi-
shalshfp race. This was agreed to- and
Crum received his appointment.
The question of where to place Carpenter
was then taken up, and the Indian Terri
tory was turned to for a probable opening.
All Of the fat Government positions W~re
nlled by administration men. SO recourse
was had to the Cherokee tribal organiza-
ton.
Burlington and Burton Confer.
Chief Burlington was wired to meet Sem
ator Burton at the Coffeyvile, Kas., Fourth
of July celebration. He complied with the
request. and Senator Burton preached the
question of supplanttng Judge Springer, a
Democrat, by a Republican. t,--'
He argued that If the Indians expected
anything from the. present administration
they would have to be represented at WASH
ington by Republican. and illustrated this
point by q reference to the failure of Judge
Springer in the recent Klowa Injunction
Il he could name the man. Chief Buftins-
ton, 1t is said. promised him the appoint
ment and he Immediately named Carpenter
Yesterday Carpenter and Foley arrived here
and registered at the hotel as "F. 7. Foley
and friend" Chief Burlington was closeted
with them for several hours, during which
the deal was discussed.
The consent of the Cherokee National
Council will have to be obtained. but as the
Burlington party controls that body the deal
can go through. The position carries sal
