- Description:
- The document is addressing concerns about the legislation passed for the popular selection of the chief or principal officer by the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma, specifically the Choctaw Tribe. The writer believes that the law allows for the election of the chief by the Choctaw Tribe, but there are concerns about the fairness of the process. The writer questions the influence of Representative Carl Albert and Ed Edmondson on the outcome of the election and expresses the belief that the Choctaw people are not being allowed a fair voice in the election process.
