The Tomahawk., 1920-10-21

From all accounts woman is
going to make her mark in the
coming election and in way that
will leave no doubts as to where
she stands on the question of good
government. Reports from over
the state are to the effect that
women workers are unusually
busy with their sex and that they
will cast heavy vote. This is
particularly SO in the Seventh
district where women workers are
out in the interest of Congressman
.Volstead: Don't bring back the
saloon" is their campaign cry and
the slogan is being carried to
every home. in The district. In
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth,
it is expected that the vote next
month will be doubled as a result
of the activity on the part of the
fair sex.
The Tomahawk., 1920-10-21

Several Minnesota congressional
incumbents have the fight of their
lives on their hands. Notable
among the number is Congress-
man Halvor Stevenson of. this,
the Ninth district, whose official
residence at Washington is badly
menaced by an Independent candi-
date and a Democrat, both OF
whom are regarded as heavy
weights in vote getting way. A.
G. Townley, the head of the Non
partisan League, is giving the
Ninth district his personal atten-
ton. While Congressman Steen'
erson claims to know his district
like a book, he admits that the
present raid on his stewardship
is the live!iest he has yet been
compelled to face. = " T.
The Tomahawk., 1920-10-21

One of the features of the recent
primaries was the heavy vote
polled by the Non'partisan Leag ue
candidates in the purely agricul-
tural townships: Nearly Is pei
cent of such townships went Ship
stead's way, but he lost heavily in
the cities and villages. The latter
were the saving clause as far as
the Republican ticket was con-
cerned. To those who have been
studying the primary figures it
may be interesting to know that
the Federal census of recent date
shows marked falling off in the
population eff many of these Ship
stead townships with correspond
ing increase in the population Of
the towns, cities and villages.
The Tomahawk., 1920-10-21
Congressman Stevenson
and the Red Lake Con-
troversy,

During the course of his re-
marks here last week Congress-
man Stevenson alluded several
times to his Red Lake constituents
and stated that it has been the
policy of the government, re-
gardless of the treaty of 1889,
which treaty consolidated all the
Chippewa bands in Minnesota into
one, which were designated as the
Chippewas of the Mississippi, to
treat with the Red Lake band as
an individual bard and as the sole
owners of the Red Lake reserva-
ton, and citing the instance of the
sale of II townships of that reser-
walton for the sum OF 1850, 900
and which money was paid to the
Red Lake bands alone, said he
considered this a just transaction
and according to law. AS a mat
ter of fact the land was sold with
out the consent of the Indians, as
the following facts will disclose:
In 1906 Congress passed an act
authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior to negotiate with the Red
Lake Indians for the sale of II
The Tomahawk., 1920-10-21

townships of land bordering on
the Red Lake river up as far as
the City of Thief River Falls for
the sum of $1,000, 900, and &C
cordingly Inspector Major Nc
Laughlin was ordered to pro-
coed to Red Lake and nego-
tiate with the Red Lake Indians
for the sale Of this property. Mr..
Mclaughlin was successful in
reaching an agreement with the
Red Lake Indians but before this
could become a law it had to be
ratified by Congress, and when
the matter was brought up Con-
gress refused to ratify the agree
ment. Later in the same year an
attempt was made by Congress to
dispose of these II townships to
actual settlers under the home
stead law at so much per acre, the
amount to equal the 100000
dollars as offered in the first agree
ment, and to be paid in fifteen or
more payments, but, as in the first
instance, in order to become q law
it had to be accepted by the Red
Lake Indians, and this time it was
the Red Lake indians themselves
wHosturned down the sale, as the
terms of payment were not agree
able to them, however the govern
ment went ahead and sold the II
