"The adyocates Of Mississippi Choc-

" per capita payments will be On
hand al the next session Of congress.
but unless some complication arises
To give them new strength, there is
no reason 70 expect that they will be
able 10 defeat or futher delay final
se,'lement Of our affairs. The next
session is a long session Of congress.
II is not compelled 10 close at any
certain time az was the last session,
therefore a Mibuster cannot be so sue
cessfuly maintained.
81 have no inclination or purpose 10
dictate 10 this convention Or 10 try 10
Influence the course Of its procedure,
but after the gruelling fights through
which Ne have passed in these per
capita payment contests, ] believe
that know something Of conditions
have some opinions in the premises
and since We are all here for the pur-
pose Of exped!tinR a final settlement
Of our affairs, think It might be well
for us all 10 give full expression 10 our
yiews. II is my purpose to introduce,
and. with the assistance Of my col
leagues, 10 secure the passage OF
bin at the next session Of congress,
providing FOR a final distribution of
all the funds Of the Choctaws and
ChickasaWs each year as these funds
accrue II will, TO be sure, take ener.
TO bring this about for, notwithstand-
ing the fact that We have completely
knocked out the opposition, the ghosts
Of Mississippi Choctaw enrolment
still exist and will be on hand to offer
some character of opposition Bear
In mind, however, that we are bringing
members Of congress to understand
better every day the duty Of this
federal government to the ChOctaws
and Chickasaws in Oklahoma, and as
they do come to a better understand
ing, they line up on the side Of right
and Justice, and for a final settlement
Of our affairs"
In speaking of the proposed suit of
the Choctaw nation against the secre-
tary Of the interior to mandamus thatI
officer to carry out the treaty stipula
tions. and proceed with the payment,
