![["The document discusses the selection procedures for the Principal Chiefs of the Five Civilized Tribes, specifically addressing the substantive requirements for candidates and the participation of Creek freedmen in the selection process. The Office of the Secretary of the Interior confirms that fair and equitable requirements for candidates can be set by the tribal members, and that Creek freedmen are entitled to vote in the selection of the principal chief. It emphasizes the historical legal position that freedmen have the same privileges in tribal affairs as Indian citizens by blood."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Tribal%20Elections,%201971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Choctaw Chief Candidate Challenges Age Limit")

He argued that the limit was established to prevent younger candidates like himself from running for the position. Gardner's opponent, Harry J. W. Belvin, supported the age limit and believed that younger candidates were not mature enough to lead. The dispute over the age limit was a result of election procedures established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Gardner planned to challenge the regulation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Tribal%20Elections,%201971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Update on Choctaw Elections and Creek Problem: Call from Wilma Victor")
