...other minor parties will support it. But I take the view that some of the things this government has done are such that their own people have lost confidence in them. So whenever there is an election, we shall win, and I hope with a good majority. Inflation, a drop in the real standard of living, no increase in our manufacturing output in three years, a taxation system so heavy that many ordinary people say there's no incentive to work-those sources of resentment [will not] disappear...

The provisions of the act state that no transfer of Indian lands can be made without the express approval of the federal government. Gay Head was incoporated in 1870, its status was changed from an Indian district, corresponding to today's reservation, to a town, with the approval of the Massachusetts...
