CONVENTION DECIDES TO LEAVE
THE PROVISION OUT OF
THE CONSTITUTION
WILL GIVE TEDDY NO CHANCE
To Turn it Down Delegates Prefer
Criticism Rather than Ioss Of
Statehood.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 27-By a vote
Of 46 to 81 the constitutional PROPOSE
tion providing for separate and equal
coaches and waiting rooms for the
negro race was laid on the table BY
the committee Of the whole Of the
constitutional convention this morn
ing.
The action followed the filing Of
report from the special committee Of
lawyers to whom the proposition was
referred, advising the convention that
in the judgment Of the committee, to
Incorporate the provision in the con-
stitution would seriously endanger
statehood.
The report recites the fact that the
wording Of the enabling act prevent
ing discrimination in the civil or po~
litical rights because Of race or color
have never been subject to judicial
construction, and holds that rea-
sonable construction Of the inhibition
might justify the president Of the
United States in holding that Jim
Crow law was a violation of the terms
Of the enabling act.
After this report had been adopted
Haskell Of Muskogee moved that com
/ mittee report number 3 providing for
I separate coaches and waiting rooms
for the, negro race, be laid On the ta-
Bile
Williams Of Durant, Hughes Of
Oklahoma county, Harrison Of sayre
and many other members Of the con-
vention protested against the motion,
asking that the convention be allowed
to vote on the adoption or rejection Of
the clause, 50 that the delegates might
demand a roll call and be allowed to
go on record.

which the nation will be proud They
hive before them every constitution
Of every state in the union, with com
parative annotations, and are assidu-
ously studying them with a view TO
making a perfect organic law.
They have established prohibition
as i part Of the organic law, and ever
since a cry has gone abroad Eve be
liese inspired BY the liquor interests)
denouncing the 'incompesency' Of the
convention, charging the convention
with Being opposed to the rights Of

The convention has done no single
act that can be- justly criticised, and
am satisfied win make no mistake On
behalf Of the psopIe Of Oklahoma I
pray that adverse criticism be with
held until the constitution Is actually
written.
The state Of Oklahoma has nearly
100000 native born Americans, a

two territories with different statute

ten months to amend her constitution
but it viii only take Oklahoma thres
