Indians of which Thomas L. Slcane
of Tender, Neb., is president, ;.nd
several Indian members of the so

with close attention as Judge Evans
outlined the claims Mr, Sloane had
for the place, which were accentu

While no promises were given it
is known that the differences in the
Oklahoma delegation over the place
make it almost a certainty tha no
candidate from that state, and there
are several, will land the job. While
Mr. Sloane has strong endorsements,
it is believed that ex-congressman
Charles H. Burke of South Dakota,
who has the united support of his
