is about to be realized in a measure
drawn up by Senator l.. X. Taylor
of Chickasha, to be introduced dur
ing the coming week, for the pur-
pose Of disfranchising the Oklahoma
negroes, with the hope OF everlast-
ingly putting the republican party
in Oklahoma out Of business.
Essentially an elecuon measure, 1t
deals with the qualifications of cleo
tors, states the necessary citizen
ship, and provides manner OF regis
trauon. Then comes the important
section:
Before a ballot shall be issued
TO any elector, he may be required.

qualifications of an elector ne shall
not be allowed TO vote; provided,
however, that the provisions OF this
act shall not apply TO any person
whose grandfathers enjoyed the
right TO vote under some form OF

New Mexico today practically gave
up its efforts to ootain statehood a.

ritories, invited that committee and
the corresponding committee of the
senate to visit New Mexico next
summer after the national conven-
tons and see and judge for them
selves whether the territory which
for fifty years has been seeking ad-
mission as a state, is entitled to that
benefit.
1t is understood Governor Currys
invitation followed a suggestion to
him by Speaker Cannon n Few days
ago that 1t would not be wise to
press the issue on the eve of pres
idential campaign. This signifies a
truce for the winter, 1t is positively
denied that In consideration OF this
relinquishment the house committee
on territories or Its chairman (TIam-
ilton OF Mich.) has agreed to report
favorably on the statehood bill al
the short session or congress. But
the delegates hope for such action.
The principal speaker before the
committee was former Governor L
B. Prince. H. fleet1ed tae efforts
of New Mexico throughout the last
half century to gain statehood. He
claimed the present population In
the territory is 100000. based on the
