twenty AddtuOnal FapefS 10 work In
Conjunction With Bureau.
The bureau of business men organized to
push Folk for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination continues to receive pledges of
support from country newspapers. 1t is
said that about twenty papers in addition
to those which were published in The Re-
public yesterday. have come out for Folk
and will work in conjunction with the bu-
reau.
All of the newspapers received are DEM
ocratic. and no effort has been made to Sc
cure the assistance of other than Demo-
cratic publications The men who are back
of the movement are comprised largely of
those who offered to present $4,000 resi-
dence to Circuit Attorney Folk a few
months ago. Many of those were Repub-
licans. Those who are in the bureau consist
of none but Democrats.
In the list of newspapers which was pub
lished yesterday Mr.. Mcleod, manager of
the bureau. explained yesterday that only
lightweight Democratic newspapers had
expressed preferences, and that OF those
seventy-six were for Folk.

The report that there are to be
no more tribal elections In the
Cherokee nation does not disturb
the rank and file of Cherokee
citizens; in fact they are generally
glad and earnestly hope that ii
may prove to be true. No good
can come from such elections. The
Cherokees have no political rights
they care about in so far as tribal
affairs are concerned. Their
property interests now need pro.
lection more than any other, and
are far safer in the hands OF the
United States government than
elsewhere. 1t were indeed fort
unate il the president has vetoed
the Cherokee election bill.

suit for 157 900 acres Of Cherokee
land. OF course no one knows
definitely what the finding of The
court will be but IL lie sure that
should the Delawares win the
case that the attorneys and not
the people will get the bulk OF the
land involved. In the meantime
they are not allowed to fls upon
the lands in their possession and
will probably have to walt until
ell other Cherokee citizens have
filed and at lasl have to accept the
same amount OF land allotted TO
other citiEens. The Delawares
have been imposed upon By these
land grabbing attorneys. Many Of
their names are signed to the con.
tracts without their knowledge.

given in their behalf.

The Dawes Commission Is much


In need Of law by which fractions
of land adjacent to the towns
throughout the Cherokee Nation
could be filed on without loss to
some one. II two men happen to
have built upon the same. .ten-acre
tract one must either buy the other
out or else enter a contest. Ia the
event OF contest one party or tbs
other must necessarily lose out.
This is working a peculiar hard
ship on many citizens, and should
be the subject Of supplemental
treaty. This is one particular in
which the rights Of all parties can i.
not be adequately protected. This
matter certainly deserves the at.
tention OF the mission, and
could very properly be the subject
Of additional legislaIion.
