Attorneys for the Convention Plead
that Case be Advanced

Guthrie LEADER
At the converting Of the Supreme
court Of the territory this afternoon
at 2:S0 o'clock it was announced that
the cases Of f. /. Haines ct al vs. w.
H. Murray ct al, J. ]. Adams VS. the
Supreme Election Board Of Oklahoma,
Board of County Commissioners Of
Greer County VS.. The Constitutional
Delegate Convention and Frank
Frantz ct al VS.. c. E. Autry, would
by special order be heard Wednesday
morning, June IL, and that two days
would be given for oral argument. The
plaintiffs in the case were by special
order ordered to file their briefs by
N nday, June 10.
In support of their motion to ad-
vance the cause for hearing, Messres
Ledbetter, Dale and Bierer, attorneys
for the convention and Frank Frantz
ct al, offered the following suggestions,
in part:
I'VE strenuously object to the sug-
gestion of counsel on the other side
that three weeks time be taken for
the filing Of briefs before the final ar
gument. Mr.. Speed and Mr.. Noah
who now make this request Of the
court have presented most elaborate
citation Of authorities in case No. 2134
upon all the questions involved in any
of these case. We on our side have
presented what we claim is a full brief
to the court on behalf of plaintiffs IN
error in the case, 50 that briefs are on
file on behalf Of both parties, present
ing to the court all the authorities that
at least are necessary for the determi-
nation Of these qquestions. If any
further are found, they can as well be
presented to the court in the oral ar
gument as by brief, and the court can
as we'll consider them upon such cita-
ton. To put the case off to the time
suggested by counsel would be to en-
force the remedy asked by one party
against the other in this instance, with
out hearing, and, it seems to us they
are asking an order at this courts
hands which would grant their remedy
without hearing. In the cases they
appeal, the injunction upon the main
lucky May 2, 1896, the Kentucky leg
tiona convention to define counties.
was denied, and they can get no relief
by injunction until this case is heard.
Therefore, if they are right. they
ought to ask immediate hearing. In
the cases in which we appeal, the in
junction has been granted, and must
remain in force until this case is heard
II they are right, they should ask for
their appeals immediate hearing. If
we are right, we are entitled to have
an immediate hearing. Neither side
claims that their authorities are in
sufficient to warrant judgment in
their favor at the hands Of this court.
Neither side claims that other auth
critics, Of greater weight or import
ance than those presented, viii ever be
accessible. Why not, then, set these
cases for discussion at the earliest pos
sible moment so that the court may

OKLAHOMA
PRIMARY LAW
Some Important Provision Of Law
Under which Election will
be Held

The Oklahoma law governing the
conduct Of primary elections and
which is applicable in both Indian and
Oklahoma territories to the democratic
primaries to be held JuneS, carry on
" misdemeanor penalty for selling
or bartering votes. It is punishable
by Imprisonment in the county Jail
for not less than thirty days nor more
than six months The penalty lays
against the voter and worker alike,
and includes influence as well as bal
lot. A conviction may be secured
against the candidate or worker at the
polls who pays or offers money or 9TH
er things Of value to any voter to pur-
chase or influence his vote, or convic-
tion may be secured against any voter
who solicits or accepts valuable things
for his vote or influence, to be used
for the defeat or nomination Of any
candidate.
This law was passed by the Terri
torial legislature IN 1905.
In 1908 there was approved an act
which made the penalty, for about the
same character Of offense, disfranchis-
ment and inability to hold office of
trust or profit for not less than ten
yeas nor more than twenty years. The
1903 act was made applicable to pri-
mary, special or general elections, or
conventions.
There is nothing in the primary law
to prevent the patriotic friends of can
didates from protecting their interests
at the polls, or soliciting votes in their
behalf, so long as there is no valuable
consideration.
It is made the duty Of election judg
es, Immediately before opening the
polls, to open the ballot boxes in the
presence Of the people assembled and
turn them upside down, after which
they are to be locked and not again op-
ened until the close of the election,
when they shall only be opened for the
purpose Of counting the ballots. If
requested to do 50, the election judges
shall permit the respective candidates
or one of his friends to be rreznt in
the room with the judges when the
votes are counted
In case any voter is challenged on
the ground that he does not belong to
or affiliate with the party whose tick
ct he attempts to vote, the Judge Of
election is empowered to administer an
oath, which, if falsely given, renders
the maker guilty Of perjury. The
Judge is empowered to PROFOUND to
the challenged voter two questions:
with which political party did you
affiliate at the last general eIection?n
"With which political party do You
intend to affiliate at the ensuing cleo
tion?n
After answering these questions,
and the challenge is not withdrawn,
the voter is given the right to be sworn
and aftar making oath and possessing
the otter qualifications, is entitled
to vote.
The election Judge in case mention
cd, shall administer this oath:

A FALSE CHARGE
IS DISPROVED
Jackson, Tenn, June /, 'O7.
To the Democracy of Oklahoma:

We the undersigned citizens of Jack
son, Tenn, are well acquainted with
5. ?. Freeing and have seen him
grow from boy to young manhood.
BY his own efforts he educated himself
and sister at the greatest universities
in the world and his home city has al
ways been proud Of him. He never
participated in politics, never voting
or attending any primary or conven-
tion of any political party, except as
clerk in democratic primary before
he was grown. He voted locally once
or twice, and then for democrats. We
cheerfully say that any man, party or
state should be proud Of the loyalty
manhood and ability Of Print Freeling.

Those two words hardly describe them.
They are good in every conceivable way,
and especiallydthey are good because the
prices we are asking for them arc so
small. Manyestores are asking more, be-
cause there isla great scarcity, but at this
store the usual low prices will prevail
until the manufacturer compels us to
make a change. There seldom is a scar
