parties have had their candidates
for Chiefs in the field for over six
months, during this time no ex
pression has been had form either
of them as to what their policy is
tn be. They l.avo nude no issue
whatever. Any thinking man knows
that inaction at this time is greatly
detrimental to tho interest of tho
country and we can't live under it.
We have n domain of over 6,000,000
acres of land west of the Arkansas
river that is .lipping away from us
and there is no effo't mado to save
it to us. East of 90 degrees the
country is overrun with intruders,
who have no claim on us and yet
cling to the .oil defiantly ol
Cherokee laws, they arc daily
creating and soon will overrun the
country crowding out those to the
manor born. We do not know but
what the two candidates arc friends
of this clnrs. Parties and politician!
who will not declare their convio-
tion. and policy are not worthy ol
the support ol an inteligcnt people.
If they have a policy and keep it
bid they arc not to bo trusted in
this crisis. Tho Cherokee of to-
day is an intelligent man and the
