HITCHCOCK As PEACEMAKER
Political Adviser Of Taft Has Difficult
Task TO Perform.

Warrington Postmaster General
Hitchcock has the faculty OF keeping
his own counsel as highly developed
as any man in public life today.
II Is strange, therefore. that he re-
fuses to discuss his homecoming trip
to Beverly beyond the statement that
he will probably see the president
Tuesday.
The political observers here are not,
however, as silent as Mr.. Hitchcock
regarding the proposed visit. In fact,
II is stated confidently that the post
master general, who Is chairman OF the
Republican national committee, and
politician.in-chief Of the administration.
has been called to Beverly to consult
with the president as to the ways and
means Of Strengthening out the kinks
In which the party has gotten Itself in
the western and middle states particu-
larly.
Just how Mr.. Hitchcock will go to
work to get insurgents and stand-pat-
tiers together Is an interesting ques.
ton. 1t is the best belief here that II
will be Impossible. Both sides have
now reached pretty nearly the point
where they would rather see the Dem
ocrats win than the other faction, and
as astute politician as Mr.. Hitch
cock is acknowledges to be, 1t is feared
the task Is beyond him.

wholesale legislation by congress has
dawned for the Indians as result of
the congressional investigation into
the McMurray contracts is the be ief
genera among senators, congressman
and other government officials assem-.
bled here
The story told on the stand by Green
McCurtain, chief Of $4,000 Choctaw In
dams, and a venerable fighter of p!o.
neer days, made a deep impression.
McCurtain related how his tribe year
after year had waited for the govern
ment to sail their lands and how at
last the Indians, becoming discouraged,
had become the prey of attorneys,
whose promises were more glowing
than those of the government.
1t cost his tribe in the last ten
years, McCurtain said, 100000 in at
torneys fees, besides a share In the
$750,000 fee paid to the McMurray
firm several years ago in citizenship

Chickasaws.
