Scope and Contents
The text discusses the requirement to print Cherokee ballots for elections in Tulsa due to a federal law, even though there are few Cherokee speakers who cannot read English. It argues that this law is a waste of money and could lead to legal challenges. Additionally, an invitation to a groundbreaking ceremony for an industrial park in Adair County is included.
