Are Mandan Indians Defendants

All people on earth have dark haiT

ercromie In q letter to The Forum
But when de la Verandrv was In the
Dakota region near Bismarck in 1898
he found the Manxlan Indians with
blond hair and blue eyes. They diff
fered from the other Indians. Nobody
knows, from where they originated
some suppose that they are descend
ants from the Norwegian race, others
that they descend from the irish. The
Irish got the light hair from mixture
with the Norwegian vikings. The

The Forum to hear what he says Mr..
FJelde then quotes as follows:
In 1913 the Chevelier de La yeran-
dry made a trip from Montreal 10
the seat OF the Mandan Indians (near
the present Bismarck, N. d.. Near
their territory he found a small stone
curiously engraved on both sides with
strange characters. He satisfied him
SELF that the inscription was not of
indian origin and then took II with
MIN TO the Jesuit scholars at Quebec.
They were agreed that the inscription
contained letters Indians use only
photography and that these letters
were Tartarian in origin. 1t was then
sent to the minister of the marine. @.

OF this stone see Kalm's Travels Into
North Dakota, London. 1771, volume

have remarkable similarity and
would look alike to one who was not
a specialist In either. AS the Tartarian
origin Is out OF the question and the
inscription was neither of Indian or
any known European origin the con

overwhelming sentiment in favor Of
some one man.
Governor Wilson has decided lean
lngs toward the primary idea for the
election of delegates to the conven-
ton. He would like tps see every del
gate chosen by the people themselves
instead of the good old convention
way. William J.. Bryan also favors
the direct election plan and long has
been an advocate Of this measure.
Friends Of Champ Clark also are COM
ing to the front in advocacy of the
popular election Of convention dele
gates. Already two or three MEM
bers of the democratic national com
mittee have announced their fnten-
ton to make a fight for the adoption
of this idea when the committee meets.
The impression seems to grow that
dark horse may receive the presi-
Dental nomination from the demo-
cratic convention. Messrs Harmon
and Wilson are the only democrats
who may be said to be making q re-
ally active canvass up to date. They
are actively engaged in promoting
their own interests and represent the
two wings of the democracy. Mr..
Clark has not yet formally announced
himself candidate for the high hon
or, but 1t is well understood by his
friends that he is more than a recep-
tive candidate. Former Gov. Joseph
w. Folk Of Missouri continues to make
a lot of fuss In his state over the fact
that convention last year indorsed
him for the presidency. Further in the
background are Governors Marshall
of Indiana. Foss OF Massachusetts,
Dix of New York, while Carter Har-
rison. mayor Of Chicago, is said to be
entertaining hopes that the political
lightning may strike near him.
The democratic convention promis-
es tosbe at least interesting. The sit
uation up to date is most complex,
and there is little chance OF the con
vention transacting It's business after
the cut-and- dried fashion. 1t is more
apt to be knock down and drag out
affair, with the strongest arm victor
ious. Meanwhile the woods are full
OF presidential possibilities, favorite
sons and near possibilities.
While the story that Mr.. Bryan en-
tertains hopes and INDUCES dreams
that the lightning may strike him for
the fourth time has not been definite
