INDIANS GO IN
FOR POLITICS
WHITE CANDIDATES ARE PUT TO
RoUT IN TRIP COUNTY BY
THE REDSKINS.
THEIR ENTIRE TICKET wins OUT
Now Declare They Will Participate In
All Elections in Future.-Tools
All Sorts Of Electioneerlng,
But Voted Straight

Brookfngs.-The Indians have gone
In for politics, and In the organizing OF
Trip county conducted campaign
that showed that they were not a
whit behind their white brothers In
handling public affairs.
This Is the first time in history that
the Indian has ever dabbled in politics
and the large number who have taken
allotments and are therefore entitled
to vote will materially affect the vote
in these districts in the future.
At the first election in Trip county,
the whites approached the situation In
the usual manner framing up their
states with as much sangfroid as il
the Redskins were thousand miles
away. Great was the surprise there
fore, when about a week before the re-
cent election stoical Red" stalked
into the auditors Office and filed for
the Office Of constable. The name
signed to the affidavit was Thomas
c. Bull, but the Indians name was
Crazy Bull.
Before the day was over full In
dian ticket excepting states attorney
was in the field. There was not a
single Indian lawyer in the county and
the Indians Endorsed w. e. Backus, a
we'll known white lawyer, for that po-
sition.
The white candidates stood aghast
when they recovered from their sur
prise. White voters were forgotten
and the Indian vote was gone after.
Dances, barbecues and all kinds of
celebrations were quickly gotten up,
and every Indian in the county attend
ed every one. But not an Indian would
absolutely promise a white man a vote
for him. The Redmen simply would
not talk politics at all. And the Indian
candidates won out In every case. in
Guiding the white candidate whom
the Indians had Endorsed. Now the
Indians say they will participate in
all elections held in these counties
which have been carried from the In
dian reservations and in which are
large rancheTs of Indians who have
taken their allotments and are there
fore entitled to vote and to do any
thing white man can do except to
take whisky into his home, a privil-
eye retained solely by the white man.

Today's run to Minneapolis, where
the stop of two days Is to be made,
was 1868 miles; the roads from Win
ona being generally good and the task
of averaging 20 miles an hour COM
paratively easy.
On Monday 30 cars Of different size
and power left Detroit for Kansas

tries in this contest. The greater num-
Der of these are trying for the Glidden
cup, while others of lighter mould
compete for the Hover and Detroit
trophies, these latter having been add
ed as features since the first run for
the cup was made. From Detroit to
Kalamazoo, thence to Chicago to Mad

way through various fortunes of the
road, and drivers and tourists alike
gloat with pleasure over the two days
of rest provided by the schedule, with

After these two days of rest and
entertainment in Minneapolis the
route of the Glidden contestants lies
to the southwark. Through Iowa to
Omaha and thence southwestward to
Denver these knights of the road are
booked to travel, and after a period
of pleasure and recreation in the hills
Of Colorado the course again turns to
the eastward and finds it's terminus at
Kansas City. And when the tourists
finally learn the awards in the contest
they will realize fully that they have
traversed ten of the best states of the
Union.
