HOW THE INDIANS VOTE
They are Very Deliberate and
then Have a Very Sim
pie Method.

The indians cast their vote differ
emily from the way The white
men does if They meet the day
before the elnctlor-and none
but Chicbasaws by blood are al.
lowed to vote. No white men or
intermarriod citizens have the
right of suffrage. They 90 cT
10 themselves and have powwow.
They decide Tor whom they will
vote after considering the matter
for twenty hours.
The polling place is quite
unlike that OF the white men.
Tiers is great sheet of paper.
white, yellow or brown, as the
case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet of paper
are vast number of cross lines.

OF paper are placed the name of
all candidates for office, begin.
ming with the candidates for Gov
error and running on down to
precinct Offices. At the top of
the street are the number orLlaDk
spaces that will be required for
the names of the voters. The
Judge Of election sit ky and pass
on those entitled to vote and
there is a certainty that no H.
legal votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly de-
hberate. He takes his time
when it comes to voting. He
proceeds to the polling place,
looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he is ready to cast
his ballot he calls out his name
and the clerk records it on the
sheet. Then the clerks read off.
the names of candidates for Gov
ernor. The voter deliberates a
while, calls out the name of the
candidate for whom he desires to
vote, his vote is recorded and the
names of the candidates for the
next office are called over, and so
on through the list, till all the
officers represented are voted for.
Thus it is that every voter
knows exactly how every other
voter has cast his ballot, and there
are no remarks, no suggestions
and no quarrels over difference
of opinions.
