To the Honorable Cato Sells,
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs.
Be it resolved by the body of duly
selected delegates from each district
on the Standing Rock reservation,
assembled at Fort Yates, N. D.,
on this 18th day of December, 1916.
That, inasmuch as our Indians
have suffered a crop failure during
the past season and due to the high
cost of all sustenance supplies, we
find ourselves in urgent need of help
to carry US through the winter and
unless such help is furnished suf-
fering is likely to result among our
people.
And, that since we are advised
that an Act of Congress is necessary
to provide for per capita payment
from our tribal funds, which would
render such payment too late to
meet our present needs:
Therefore, we respectfully petit
tion that you authorize the purchase
from our tribal funds, Immediately,
the following list of supplies in suf-
icient quantities to distribute to
each individual member of tribe
whose names appears on the census
roll Of June 3Oth, 1915, the articles
in qualities as follows:
100 lbs. -four; 25 lbs. sugar; 20
lbs. breakfast bacon; 5 lbs. bacon
clears; 5 lbs. coffee, roasted and
ground; 2 lbs baking powder.
Following are the list Of delegates
whose signature or mark appeared
on the foregoing resolution:
NJ. Red Tomahawk, I. Ironroad,
John Brown, Bernard GfoXglftsst;
Claude X: Spotted, Thos. Frosted,
VIM. Hawk. Red Fish, Arthur Tib-
bets, Antoine Claymore, Samuel
Whiteagle, Paul Long Bull, Maur-
ice Bobtail Bull, Haskell Santee,,
Walcot Shoots Walking, Eugene
Barking, John Grass, Dominick
Long Bull, NJ. Afraid-o Hawk,
Albert Noheart, Louis Oka,, James
Dogman, Bede Uses-his-Arrows.
Henry One Bull, Edward Afraid-of-
Hawk.
Invitations for bids have already
been sent out and authority request
ed to purchase the articles enumer-
ated. These supplies will not be
issued as a gratuity ration but in
lieu of a per capita payment.
Superintendent Covey expects
that there will be no difficulty in
Securing this authority and hopes
to have the supplies ready for dis
tribution early in January. This
will require about ten carloads Of
provisions at an estimate of S4O,-
10000.

are, if you leave your shopping go
to the last few days, the articles you
wished to purchase may be gone.
Do your shopping now.
It may be good idea for the
people who are in the habit of pat
ronizing the mal-order houses to
call at our local stores and ask the
price op,tae many. suitable presents
81; offered. You will lind that they
will compare very favorable in
quality and price with any shown
ION paper) in the catalogues. If
you were going to buy horse would
there be any satisfaction in seeing
it before you gave over your money?
1t is the same thine when you send
your money to the mail-order house
and then get the article. It may be
satisfactory-and again it may not.
Do your shopping now-at home.
If you have friend or rela-
tive who lives out Of town and whom
you intend to send presents by ex-
press or parcel-post, be sure to
wrap it firmly and well and write,
the address plainly so as, to insure
prompt and safe delivery.

"Yes," returned the dying man;

by his earnest tone, gave him the

problem: l am twice one-ha1f the age

stupid or backward by their teacher
yet this statement of the question was
80 much puzzle to them. that only
four boys out of tifty-one present
caught on to the question and gave
a correct answer. I fully expected
every one would answer correctly. and
requested all to stand and 10 resume
their seats, when an answer was given
that was like theirs. Most OF the boys
in insisted that l was sixty-sX years OF
age, some that was forty-nine and

by the force of his eloquence and

straight from the shoulder on every
issue that is before the American
public at the present time.
In an address at Wausau, Cudahy
said: "The German-American press
and the professional pro-German agi-
tator, threaten the welfare CT Amer
lea, and particularly the standing Of
the American citizen of German
descent
"This is all shamefully unfair and
unjust to the German-American. Too
often has the patriotism of the Ger
man-American towards his adopted
country been tested to need any de-
Tense or any apology. He has been
tried upon many hardfought ftld
during the Civil war, the Spanish
American war, and now is to be found
serving his country upon the Mexican
border. 1T IS CALUMNY TO
BREATHE THAT THE GERMAN

ACKNOWLEDGED that such demands
were proper under the law of nations.

one he pursued. Put yourself in the

that there were thousands of sympa-

svmpathizing with Great Britain
THEN WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE

In another address Cudahy was
given an ovation when he declared
that there is no better citizen in the
United States today than the German-
American and that the German is the
first to demand citizenship papers in
this country.
'It proves without fear of success
full contradiction" said Cudahy, "that
the German realizes the opportunities
in this country for himself and his
family. Were he not of the belief that
every man is equal and has the same
advantages as the native American
born, to become happy, contented and
prosperous in this great and glorious
republic, he never would have taken

CODAHY REVELATION
TO BADGER VOTERS

John Cudahy, Democratic candidate
for lieutenant governor, since he en-
tered the campaign a few weeks ago.
has shown surprising strength not
only among the Democratic voters of
the state, but among the adherents of
other parties. In the various counties
where he has delivered a number OF
addresses, he has been warmly re-
ceived, and in the many places where
there is a strong leaning towards VIII.
son and the entire Democratic ticket,
Cudahy has been given enthusiastic
receptions.
The caliber of this comparatively
young man was not known, to GER
tain extent, even to his admirers, as
he had always positively refused to
become identified in any way with
politics. Even after he was nominated
for lieutenant governor, his staunchest
friends, while realizing his sterling
worth, intellectual ability and the
wonderful record that he has made in
the legal profession, within a short
time, together with the reputation he
has for sound Judgment in every
thing with which he had to do, never
dreamed that he would prove such a
tower of strength by the clearness and
the force of his arguments on both
national and state issues His
knowledge of the entire political sit
uation has amazed all those who have
heard him discuss the important ques-
tons now before the voters of the
country, and his eloquence and f>or-
lessness in dilating on these issues
have won him many admirers and ed
herents even from the parties not in
sympathy, to a certain extent, with
the Democratic administration
