CARTER MAY BE CHAIRMAN OF
INDIAN COMMITTEE

According to advices from Wash

stephens for denomination for Con-
gress in Texas, will advance the in
terests of Congressman Chas. d. Car
ter of the Third District of Oklaho-
ma. 1t will advance Mr.. Carter to

mittee on Indian Affairs las he was
ranking member next to Judge Ste

Judge Stephens has been chairman
of the Indian Committee since the
Democrats gained control of the
House in 1910, and MIR. Carter ranks
next to the chairman on the Commit
tee; and his consistent support Of
the Presidents policies and the
Democratic House organization are
factors which make his appointment
to the chairmanship of this commit
tee seem almost certainty
The chairmanship OF this commit
tee is one of the most important in
the House, for the reason that the
Indian Committee has the authority

settled problems in Oklahoma, by far
being the most important committee
to this State.

ID. Carter will be the first American
Indian who has ever risen to the dis
tinction of chairman of the Indian
Committee of the House, and this
will give Oklahoma additional prom
inence and influence in the affairs
of Congress.
Even should the political person

fall, Carter would be the highest mi-

place on the conference committee.
