Senator A. J, Gronna'

The subject of this sketch, Sen
ator A. j. Gronna, is plain,
every day, level headed man, who
has had much experience on the
frontier, and who knows the needs
of Indians almost as we'll as those
of his white constituents in North
Dakota which he looks after with
the utmost care.
Senator Gronna is an approach
able man and easily makes the IN
experienced feel at ease whenever
they call on him in his Office at
Washington. He has spent much
of his lifetime in Minnesota, and
it is for this reason no doubt that
many Minnesotans call on him,
whenever they are at Washing
tor, with regard to their matters.

IF this session of Congress.

OF CulS ScSSlOu VI COukIeSS'
The bill proposes to give Indian
tribes the right to designate by the
vote of majority of each tribe
who shall oe their Indian agents.
The Indian office at Washing
ton, it is learned, is opposed to it
on the grounds that the agents
would be taken completely away
from their jurisdiction. The In
dams throughout the country, it
is further learned, take the posi-
ton that it is only in this way chat
their troubles can be settled.
The Indian delegations at Wash
ington are making a thorough can
vass of the situation, and if the
Right of Nomination Bill cannot
be passed, they are going to make
a strong and united effort to Sc
cure the passage of a law which
will place them under the charge
of trustees in manner suggested
by Representative Stephens Of
Texas, chairman Of the House In
dian committee.
If the Stephens proposition
should be passed by Congress,
this would practically abolish the
Indian office, something, it is be-
lieved, Congress would not be
adverse to seeing.
