POLITICAL PIE CUTTING
ATTRACTS OKLAHOMA G. 0. P.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 15.-There's
political pie to be cut by President
Taft for Oklahoma republicans, about
the first or second week in January
and as the chief executive has long
since learned to expect, when there is
a bit of patronage at stake, the G. o. p.
leaders of the state are scrambling for
it like bunch of hungry children after
jar of jam
Early next month President Taft
will be called upon to name two Unit
ed States attorneys, one for the west
ern district of the state and one for
the east. 1t is these jobs that has
started the republican organization off
in another tug of war, and both sides
are kept busy laying their requests
and recommendations before President
Taft by letter and in person.
Probably the greatest interest is be-
! ing taken in the contest being waged
in the western district The term OF
John Embry as United States attor-
ney will expire January Z, and as be
resigned little over year ago, but
was prevailed upon to finish his term,
lit is not expected that he again will
! be candidate. At the time the resig-
,afiop uac announced Papracao4o fivf,
Dick T. Morgan took a stand for Judge
Gillet as Embry's successor while Rep
resentatiye Bird MCGUIRE supported
Robert A. Lowry of Saltwater for the
place. When the matter of success
sor was waxing warm, Embry with
drew his resignation and the feudists,
Morgan and MCGUIRE laid down their
arms for the time being.
Now that Embry is almost sure to
leave office in January, arms have been
shouldered again and Morgan is urg-
ing II. NJ. Boardman of Watonga for
the place while MCGUIRE is again fay-
oring Lowry. 1t is known, however,
that McGuires second choice for the
place is Attorney Cress of Perry.
Boardman was Morgan's last cam
paign manager and being a close per
sonal friend of the congressman, the
latter will stand back of him through
thick and thin. Even should Embry
again seek to succeed himself Nor.
gan will retain Boardman as his can.
didate for the place State Chairman
Harris and Cash Cade are sure to get
into the fight but just where they will
stand in regard to the matter is mat.
ter of speculation as yet. 1t is said
their position will much depend upon
whether Embry is again a candidate
Representative Morgan and Nc.
Guire although generally consulted on
matters of patronage over the entire
state, are expected to let Harris and
Cade fight out the matter of the selec-
tion of a United States attorney for
the eastern district. The present in.
cumbent, Mr.. Gregg, it is said here,
desires to succeed himself, although
a number of candidates are expected
to spring up in the course of the next
few weeks.

SECRETARY TO
Be MANDAMUSED

four persons claiming TO be citizens of
the Choctaw Nation today filed suit
in the supreme court of the District
of Columbia against Secretary of the
Interior Fisher to compel him to erase
the word "disapproved" from the rolls
of the Choctaw Nation containing
their names, and to restore them to
citizenship as duly enrolled members
of the Choctaw Nation. Messrs. Kap.
pier & Merrilat and James X. Jones,
attorneys, of Washington, ID. c., and
Apple & Franklin, of Ardmore, Okla,
represented the petitioners. Justice
Stafford of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia required the sec
retary to show cause by January 10,
next, why the writ of mandamus should
not issue requiring him to recognize
the persons as citizens of the Choctaw
Nation and entitled to allotments of
land selected by them.
The persons filing suit were John,
Matte, James, Mary NJ, Nancy e..
George P. and Bertha M. Harton;
Rachel S. and Viola M. Hunt; John II.
and Charles b. Darken; Maultsea j.
and Willie M. Lawley; Walter and
Benjamin o. Welch; Buford r., Mary
g., Geneva, William H., Amina, Will
lian and Fay Mccoy; Maud Reville
Cordie, John ID. and James Wooley;
Matte, Callie, Stella and Roy Vaughn
and Mamie and Thomas Foster All
of these persons are descendants from
a Choctaw Indian woman named Mar
garet Mccoy, whose family is we'll
known in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Nation.
The petition in their behalf alleged
that after an unusually prolonged and
careful inquiry they had been found
entitled to enrolment as Choctaws by
blood, with the exception of three,
who were entitled by inter-marriage,
by the Dawes Commission, and that a
limited time was given within which
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nation
might appeal to the secretary of the
interior from the decision but that the
| two Indian nations acquiesced in the
decision, and the names of the parties
were placed upon rolls and the same
forwarded to Washington for formal
approval. 1t sets forth that under the
rules and regulations all parties were
entitled to notice before any adverse
step could be taken against them, but
that after rolls containing their names
had been prepared, but before the
same were stamped Approved" the
attorney general of the United States
not applicable to their case regarding
the rights of one, William C. Thomp
SON. and that without any notice OF
opportunity to them to be heard and
show the difference between their case
and that of Thompson, Secretary
Hitchcock stamped the rolls contain
ing their names "Disapproyed' with
out authority of law.
The parties in question have select
ed allotments and ask that these allot
ments be confirmed.
Three of the allotments selected
were among the lands which were to
have been sold at Atoka this month
but the sale, in consequence of the
suit as to the lands selected by these
people. was declared off and postponed
to await determination of their rights
the sale proceeding as to other lands
not involved.

JUSTICE

There has been a great deal said about the
Judiciary branch of our government and case
is now before the people that may be law, but
it does not look like Justice Two men are in
the county Jail They were placed there Satur-
day night to wait until the charge against them
can be heard The men do not look like Grim
inals In fact, they the very type of honest,
frank hard working men. But they are poor
and haven't the money or the legal training to
protect themselves in our land where justice is
weighed even scales.
The men, F. II. Wilson and J. G. Gregg
claim to have settled on land about nine miles
below Round Mountain in the Smoky valley, one
homestead on the thirteenth of November, 1910,
homesteaded on the 18th of November 1910 The
men have taken up the land under the home
stead laws which give 80 days to file after
settling or squatting They claim to have
made it their home since that date. Mr.. and
Mrs Key Pittman also claim to have filed on
the same ground on the 25th day of January,
1911, and they secured an injunction against
Wilson anG Gregg to keep them off the land
The two men continued to reside on the ground
and Mr. Pittman, in the absence of Judge
Averill from his court in this county, sent to
Goldfeld and brought Judge Somers over in an
automobile asked for contempt of judgment to
be lodged against Wilson and Gregg and the
court issued warrants for the arrest of the men.
The Judge was taken back to Goldield in the
same auto that night and the two settlers were
brought in and lodged in Jail.
Suppose the two men in Jail wanted to
have hearing in the case or wanted the in
junction removed, could they afford to send an
automobile to Godfeld and bring a judge to
Tonopah and hear their case? Is it treating the
people Of Nye county right for judge to be away
from his court for the length of time that Mark
Averill has been the past two months? II
might be all right for the weather. class who
can afford to bring judge in in automobile
to hear his case, but it looks very rotten from
the standpoint of poor man. This may be
law but does not look like justice.
