![["David Gardner, a candidate for Choctaw Chief, criticized the age limit of 35 for candidates, calling it arbitrary and unfair. 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")
