Indians Have Vote

Under the new federal law, APP
proximately 5000 Indians on var
ious reservations in Montana have
been given the right to vote. The
Indians were permitted to cast
their ballots at the recent primary
election.
Doubtless, this new law will turn
the campaigners for the fall elections
toward the reservations in the hope
of swinging the red men in a body,
with a view to thus understanding
their opponent. Whether any of the
candidates will succeed is a question,
but in the coming general election
candidates will have a wonderful OPP
portunity to practice on the science
of political campaigning. If they
have forgotten how to kiss the ba-
bies, they may try out on the pap

on one Montana reservation has been
