TO ORGANIZE RACE
Indians Of Nation to Unite for Pro-
lection Of Race Remnant

Washington, Nov 25.-A movement
h3s been started in Washington by
- ie,;si. .,: 80 I>,tian qtr'h'sa i. ~
descendants and those whose interests
by intermarriage lie with the Indians
TO- the formation of the brotherhood
of North Dakota Indians"
The movement is 6eing directed by
sull-hlooded Indian of education, a
professional man resident in Wash
ington. who does not care to disclose
his identity at this time. Discussing
the proposed brotherhood of his peo-
pie he said last night:
1T is our purpose to amalgamatc
the remnant of our race into COM
pact organization along the line of
nlanding and demanding justice at
the hands of the national or federal
government: to bring amout unity
of our people in the exercise of the
franchise as voters and fight for our
rights at the ballot box where our
numbers can demand a hearing.
There is i'll seventeen states Of the
union Il voting population of full
blooded Indians of a3.414. TO this
cry interest lie with us by reason of
internarriage. Then there are $4,000
Indians who can become voters upon
the payment of the poll tax. To these
must be added 5000 women Of In
dian blood in six states. who by rea-
son of the suffrage amendments to
those states are entitl ID to vote. In
the aggregate We have in the seven
teen states nearly 100000 voters. and
1t may surprise YOU and the country
generally to know that by this vote
when properly organized as we in
tend 1t shall be, our people will hold
the balance OF the power in those
states. and through the method Of our
votes We can and will demand JUS
tice.
THE wrongs OF the Indians and the
continued paternalistic policy of the
government. keeping our people in a
the reasons why we are organizing.
Our people frequently send delega-
tions to Washington. but they never
obtain what Is justly due them. All
business TN which our people arc in
terested is handled through the In
terror department. but is never treat
seriously and is looked upon as triy-
ial matter.
THE Dawes act Of 1887 gave the
Indians right to citizenship. But
Uncle Sam no sooner saw that this
made the Indians more powerful than
he straightway proceeded to limit
these rights Of freeborn Americans.
and hence congress passed the Burke
act.
The objects Of this brotherhood
are to teach. obtain and nlatain rights
equal to that Of any people: to pre-
serve and perpetuate the ancient ira
ditions. arts and customs: to promote
and incourage industry and thrift: to
publish records. papers. documents
and traditions of historical value; to
mark by appropriate monuments
places historic and sacred to the
American Indian.
With perfect organization the
time is not far distant when the In
dian will be able to demand his rights
and just dues from his guardian,
Uncle Sam. and receive the same
treatment that the white man re-
ceives. instead Of being an humble
suppi1cant at the feet of the govern
mrnt's representatives, as he is at
present.

Stampede

Washington. Nov. 25-Although
President Taft has refused to play
politics" in order to bring about his
denomination and reelection in 1912.
leaders of the Republican party in
Washington are taking steps to make
certain that delegates elected in the
various Republican states shall be in
structed in such a way that any stam-
pede which is the only hope of the
LaFollette and Roosevelt boomers.
will be made impossible.
Friends Of former President Roose.
velt have become SO active lately that,
IN spite Of Mr.. Roosevelt's persistent
candidate for the presidency, politi-
clans at the capital are. beginning to
believe that his supporters will make
an attempt to carry the next national
convention by stampede tactics. They
are aware that this line of action sure.
" will be followed by Senator LaFoi-
lette OF Wisconsin and. in taking steps
that they will be killing two birds with

Supporters of President Taft are

they have been for months. They are

by the result Of that convention.
Are Booming Roosevelt
Several Ohio politicians have been
booming Roosevelt for another term
but most Of the men back of the boom
are men who held Office under the
Roosevelt regime. If Col. Roosevelt is
making any effort to secure the nomin-
alton for himself, he is working so
quietly that, no part of his plan has
yet become public. So far all re-
ports of his attitude have been bas-
cd on his editorials on various matters
of public importance.
The lines of the Taft campaign for
and reelection will be-
sharply drawn at the meeting of the
Republican national committee in this
city next month. At that time 1t is
expected the plans for instructing Taft
delegates will be formulated. A ma
tional chairman also will be selected.
Only four men have been discussed for
the post-Charles D. Hilles, secretary
to the president: Postmaster General
Collector Loeb of New York
and Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania.

can have the place If he wants it.
