What Chances Are His?

Republicans who believe they know the Iowa po
itcal mind are decidedly Of the opinion that Sena-
tor BrOckhart cannot defeat Senator Cummins should
les. The Senate has before il the report of
the committee which recommends the seating Of
Daniel F. Stcck and the ousting Of Senator Brook
hart IT Senator Brookhart is unseated, he threat
ems to enter the Republican primaries against Cum
Minis.
Whether this is bluff bravado one knows at
this writing The facts are. however that Senator
l'rookhart received the votes of only about $4,000
regular Republicans when he ran the last time.
Iowa gave President Coolidge a plurality Of l58.47G
and Brookhart the face of returns by pur.
atty Of only 755 The Senate invcstigat ing

The proceedings doubtless have special interest for
Vice President Dawes 1t was Brookhart who pub
licly denounced his nomination and urged the Re-
publican National Committee to throw him off the
ticket. He declared the Progressive West would
not support the Republican ticket if Dawes on
it. Brookhart proved as poor guesser he did a
poor Republican.
Senator Brookhart has been read out of the party
and doubtless the inclination Of Republican senator's
is to vote unseat him. He is excluded from the
caucus of Republican senators and generally has
been red flag to the organization.
g Senator Cummns has taken the right attitude up
the issue which is embarrassing to his political
future. He asked to be excused from participation

in the contest and denied that he his friends arc
seeking the retention Of Btookhart in order to pre-
clude opposition to him at the primaries. He de.
clared that every senator should act on the merits
of the contest
Now that the Republican organization has taken
such attitude toward Senator Brookhart it seems
unlikely that any political expediency would swa!
it from, supporting the committee report. Even the
possibility Of increasing the Democratic minority
one vote, threatening that might be ultimately
if the November elections 60 awry should not make
the Republicans back down. If the Republicans
lose few seats in the next Congress vote may
throw control to the Democrats.
This situation complexities matters, but the Re-

vote in Iowa conducted fairly and without preju

Drum Owned BY
Sitting Bull Is
Given to Museum

A large drum. the gift Of Buffalo
Bill to Sitting Bull. famous chief of
the Hunckapapa band Of the Sioux
Indians. has been presented to the
North Dakota Historical society by
j. ". Carrignan Of Fort Yates. who
came into possession of the drum
at the time OF Sitting BULBS death
December Is. 1890.
When Sitting Bull joined Buffalo
Bills circus troup in 1884 one of his
chief duties was attracting crowds
by beating on this drum. Dressed
in full native costume and beating
warlike measures on the drum he
added the final touch to Buffalo Bill's
wild west shows and aroused great
interest among the crowds who had
heard of his exciting history. In
the fall of 1884. when Sitting Bull
returned to North Dakota. Buffalo
Bill gave him the drum that had play
ed such an important part in his
circus career.
The history Of Mr.. Carrignan's con-
nection with Sitting Bull and other
of the Hunckapapa Indians is an
interesting story in itself. He and
his sister, now Mrs. Margaret Neehan
of Montreal, Canada. were teaching in
the Indian schools Of the district and
soon became very intimate with Sit
ting Bull. more so than any other
white people. not excepting Major Nc
Laughlin, the Indian agent at that
time. SEX
Sitting Bull would visit the school
after hours and took great delight
in making drawings on the black
board. 1t was through this that he
learned to write his name according
to stories told L. F. Crawford, state
historian and curator. by Mr.. Car
rignan. Miss Carrignan suggested
that he sign his name to the draw
ings and in order to do this he
carefully learned to write his sigma
ture. his only accomplishment as a
penman. He never learned to speak
either English or French.
