The Editor of the Review appreci-
ates the kindly spirit which has
prompted the suggestion of friends in
various parts of the district that he be
a candidate for the Dem ocratic Con-
grsssional nomination, especially
those who have written him urgent
letters regarding it, but to all such he
can make but one reply, that he is not
and will not be a candidate and is SO
situated that he could not accept the
nomination without greater sacrifice
than he could afford To make. He re-
specially but emphaticslly requests
that he be not considered by them in
connection with the nomination refer
red to. This statement is prom pied
by desire to remove any doubts that
may exist in the minds Of any good
friends in the district regarding the
matter.-Romney Review.

EXPECTED.

Beverly, Aug S,--A vigorous prose
cution to reclaim title to vast
amount of Indian lands in Oklahoma
is being planned by the department

tain Indian contracts which would
permit the litigant in possession of

their resources before the litigation
is finally adjusted.
In the investigation of the con-

Indians have been defrauded it is said
the department of justice officers
have unearthed startling condition

persons, which will come out fully
