Opposing Hitchcock
Choctaw and Chickasaw Governors
May Erase Signature
Of Mr.. Hitchcock

AS was stated in the Times some
time since the governors of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are going to resist the authority as
sumed by the Secretary Of the In
terror over their nations. They dis
pute his right TO supervise the de-
livery Of deeds in those nations.
The following is the position as
sumed by the governors. II comes
direct from the Choctaw nation and
shows how determined are the gov
ernors TO handle the affairs of their
nation themselves
IT, is asserted that 1000 patents
are ready for delivery. Hitchcock
has sought TO gain the consent Of
the Indians to permit him to ap-
prove al deeds, a power which if
granted. would not only be in yio-
Iation Of the sacred treaty between
the Indians and the government.
but would throw the Choctaw and
chickasaw estate into the keeping
Of the interior department and sub
jest tile country to repetition Of
the Greek Nation fasco.
Governors McCurtain and Nose
ley say they will not stand for it.
Pat IS their motto
1t Is expected that the Dawes
commission will soon dispatch a
representative 10 this nation with
number Of deeds. lie will meet
the Indian governors The deeds
will bear the signature Of Secretary
Hitchcock To countersign these
patents would he acknowledging
fhe right of Hitchcock to dominate
the issuance Of all deeds. When
these approved deeds are presented
it is likely that McCurlain and
Moseley will quietly erase Hitch
cock Is signature, place their own
thereon and personally deliver TO
the alloliee the deeds to their
estates.
Here is where trouble is expect
Cd. Some one must yield Litiga-
tion viii likely result If Hitchcock
persists ia attempting to dictate.
1t Will i,e remembered at the last
session If Congress Congressman
Curtis introduced a bill giving
Hitchcock the power Of approval 10

vigorous fight put up by the In
dians this bin died a committee

attempt to coerce the Indians. In

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide
 Popularity.

Established for nearly a cen tury and read regularly by more than 500,000 persons in the west and southwest, the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable dis tinction, 'Favorite Home Pa per-"
 It is great because it has al- ways aimed to inform, instruct and entertain its readers on all matters of public and home in- terest. In 1904 it will be espe- cially interesting and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for it:
 This is campaign year and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re- ports of the great national and state conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the election, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30 to December 1, 1904.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the farm visitor, regular supplement of the paper, prepared especially for the farmer and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every field of activity, and through the un- surpassed news and special ser vice of the twice-a-week Repub- lie you will not be disappointed.
 In short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and household suggestions the Twice-a-Week
Newport daily independent., 1904-03-14

The Davis following pretend to have the utmost confidence in the reelection of their idol, but they belle this assumed security in taking every unfair advantage of their opponents, who would unmask the deceit and dema- goguery of Jeff. 7 Saturday at Warren Murphy was not allowed to answer Davis, being howled down by the boisterous hench- men of the governor. The county campaign furnished an instance of this unfairness upon the same day when George Hillhouse, who is exposing the record of Jeff, was not allowed his proper turn at speaking to the Tuckerman gathering. The election of Davis is not assured. It is dependent upon the success of a few politi- clans to keep the facts from the ears of the people, even if the rules of fair play must be disre- garded and honorable methods violated.
Newport daily independent., 1904-03-14

If Jackson county is over- whelmingly for Governor Davis, as John Keel asserts, why should it be necessary to refuse George Hillhouse his proper turn at the Tuckerman speaking and thus delay until almost night a hear ing of Judge Woods advocate? Will the voters of Jackson county who want fair play and honest dealing, answer upon the 18th of March? The editor of this paper has been threatened with de- nouncement upon the stump from JefT's chief satellite in Jackson county if we continued to take a hand in the fight for Judge Wood, and we answer now as then, Ego ahead"

GOVERNOR DAVIS
 NEGRO APPOINTMENTS

Pine Bluff, Ark, March 13. - Gov. Jeff Davis, who is now can wasting against Judge Wood, asking third term as governor of Arkansas, is saying much about Woods appointment of negroes to office, and asserting that he has made no such ap- pointments, except where they were necessary by an exclusive negro population in given ter ritory. Today Secretary of State John Crockett wired to Wood s friends here:
 w. H. Langford, c. E. Lytle and Ferd Havis appointed elec- tion commissioners for two years, July IT, 1900."
 The three served as election commissioners in this (Jefferson) county, and were appointed by Jeff Davis, then attorney gen. eral. Ferd Havis is one of the most notorious negro Republicans in Arkansas, and his appoint ment ignored many good white Republicans here.

If the present governor is an honest friend of the great com mon people, if his followers in Jackson county in their hearts believe in his integrity and honor, would unfair methods be resorted to to bolster up his cause? Is ever a just cause strengthened by a resort to trickery? Never. It is a re- fiection which falls upon both it's users and the intended benef- ciary.
