PUZZLES FOR OKLAHOMANS
President VIII Not Tell Them How
He Will Act.
Belief Is That He VIII Reject TheiI
Constitution If Negroes Are
Disseminated Against.

The President yesterday indicated his
unwillingness 10 intimate for the guild
arce of the Oklahoma constitutional con-
yention what his action will be on the
constitution now being framed at Guthrie
when it reaches him. in case 1t contains
the sections that are known to be obnox-
ious to him. Last week a resolution was
introduced in the convention proposing TO
submit to the President in advance the
two disputed sections This resolution
was referred to the judiciary committee
and is still before that committee. In the
meantime the question was taken 10 the
White House in an informal way.
The difficulty that besets the members
Of the constitutional convention is that
they believe, and a large proportion Of
the people Of the proposed State support
the proposition. that there should be no
intermarriage OF whites and negroes. 1t
is desired TO place in the constitution a
section declaring that the words negro"
and 'colored person shall be inter-
changeable in that instrument. and for
bidding marriages Of whites and colOred
persons. At the same time there is to be
no discrimination in the matter Of mar
riages Of whites and Indians There is
good reason to expect that. should the
section 90 in. the President would make
il the ground for refusing to issue the
proclamation required by the enabling act
passed by Congress.
Another matter which puzzles the Okla
Romans is the section that they desire
to place in the constitution in regard 70
the railroads in times of labor troubles
This section fOrbids the employment by
the railroads of labor spies. Pinkertons,
and stTike-breakers. This is said 10 be
obnoxious 10 the President
There is some question as to the power
conferred on the President Section 3
Of the enabling act directs him to de-
clare the admission OF Oklahoma If "the
constitution shall be republican in form,
and make no distinction in civil or politi-
cal rights on account Of race or color
and shall not be repugnant TO the Con-
stitution Of the United States and the
principles of the Declaration of indie
pendence
There has been a good deal Of discus
sion among the Democratic Senators in
regard to the peculiar situation. They
hold that the law is mandatory, and that
if the conditions of the law are COM
piled with It becomes the duty Of the
President within twenty days after re-
Ceiving notice Of the vote in favor OF the
constitution by the people, and the state
ment of the votes. and a copy of the con-
stitution, and all accompanying ordi-
nances, regulations. and propositions, to
issue his proclamation announcing the
result of the election and thereupon the
proposed State of Oklahoma shall be
deemed admitted by Congress into the
Union under and by virtue of his act on
an equal footing with the original States"
