The Oklahoma legislature has passed law for
bidding the employment of any person in any de-
partment of the state government who Is a relative
within the third degree of any officer in that de-
partment. If the Utah legislature should pass such
law there would follow a notable trimming Of
many family tree. But the Utah legislature will
not pass such law.

CORES TRIBUTE TO BRYAN.

1t has been said Of Mr.. Bryan
that he is the greatest citizen IN
America, If not in the world.
His greatness is not due to pat.
rcnage or the glamour of Office,
nor to a kindly throne nor a
presidential chair, He has the
power neither % reward services
nor punish opposition. His IN
fuence is due to the fact that he
trusts the people and the people
trust him. Better than any other
man be embodies the spirit OF
our Institutions and interprets
the thoughts, feelings, hopes
and aspirations Of the masses.
lie combines the patriotism OF
Washington, the craftsmanship
of Jefferson, and heroism of
jackson and the universal phi
lanthropy Of Lincoln. He pos.
sesses the virtues of the conser-
yative and the liberal without
the vices Of either. He is as
brave as the bravest, as strong
as the strongest. From the path
of duty he cannot be allured
either By threets OF power nor
the Establishments Of riches, nor
the hope or the glory Of official
preferment. Truth, justice and
duty form the lone star Of his
public and private life.

Away out on the west side Of
town there is slowly dying an old
eoIOred nanny. She is past eighty
years old, and wayworn and sick.
But this poor old woman has friends
who are tenderly caring for her dur
ing her last days, and when the end
comes, which won't be long, will
give her a decent, Christian burial.
these friends are family Of white
folks she nursed and tended before
the civil war, when she was a slave.
Aunt Margaret Webber was the
beloved nanny" Of John Gunter
and bis sisters, Mesdames Gather
Chandler, B. +. Fortner, D. M.
Mars and Sam Frazier, and now
they are tenderly caring for the old
body in remembrance Of kindnesses
in the long ago.

ID ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION

Considerable misapprehension
appears to exist among the pao.
pie Of this city, due is some
measure doubtless to a news
story appearing the columns Of
The Oklahoman, relative to the
time for holding a municipal
election.
The notion obtains that under
the new general elections act
3 municipal election will have to
be held this fall, at the same
time The general election is held.
This is a mistake.
The Legislature gave cities of
the first class adopting charters
the power to adopt whatever
regulations they saw f. govern
ing their own municipal affairs.
Under the terms Of .his act, the
board of freehOlders. now en-
gagged in formulating q city
charter, has the power to fix the
date Of the next municipal eless
ton at any time it sees fit, pro.
vided .he same does not conflict
with constitutional provisions.
Il Is clear, therefore. that no
municipal election will be held
this fall at the time Of the gen.
eral election, unless the board
Of freeholders orders it.
In this connection it may not
be amiss to state that the board
Of free holders. we understand
eontemplates fixing the date of
the election at which the pro
posed charter viii be voted upon
as we'll as the city officials cre-
ated under It, on some date not
yet agreed upon, in September.
Ample time therefore exists in
which to file nomination papers,
for the reason that the terms Of
the general election act viii not
govern the holding Of this elec.
tion. Oklahomar.

TICKET MUST BE NAMED
At AUGUST PRIMARIES
Elections Must Be Held on First Tuesday After
First Monday in November, 'O8.

Guthrie, Okla, July 2.-Elec-
tions must be held this fall in
every county, city and town in
the state. This is the interpre.
tation of the new general cleo
zion law as made by Assistant
Attorney General Fielding Lewis
today, and accepted by the state
election board.
The point was raised yester-
day in a conversation between
Mr.. Lewis and George Hess,
city clerk of Oklahoma City.
Mr.. Lewis did not give a written
opinion, but probably will do SO
tomorrow.
There is no doubt as to the
construction placed on the law,
It's provisions are plain. II
specifies that on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in
November, 1908, elections must
be held in state, county, city
town and precinct. 1t leaves nj
other Interpretation.
When the attention Of Presi
dent Gray, of the state election
board, was called to Mr.. Lewis
opinion last night he evidenced
frank surprise. Secretary Linz
had just had an interview witt
Mr. Lewis and stated tuat In

made for carrying out that Law

OPINIONS DIFFER
ON LAWS IMPORT
Final Decision Hinges on Meaning of the
Term Municipal

Guthrie, Okla June 30-The
informal opinion given out from
/ the attorney generals Office yes
i terday that, under the terms Of
the general election law, cleo
] tions must be held in first class
citis and towns on November s.
I has resulted in wide spread in.
terest in political circles through
out the state
The opinion is not in any way
official or written. 1t is merely
/ the verbal expression Of Fielding
Lewis, one of the assistants Of
/ Attorney General West. Mr.
I Lewis Informally construes the
term municipal" in the clauses
referring to the fall elections, as
meaning both first class cities
and towns. In reaching the con-
clusion, which is by no means
final, he considered a statement
made by a member Of the senate,
that the word was discussed on
the floor OF the upper house and
held 70 mean cities aud towns
rnd that it was left in with that
understanding.
The attorney generals depart.
ment consistently declines 70 de
livera formal opinion the sub.
iect until requested through the
proper channels. Il some city
official should write for an opin-
on it doubtless would be given.
The state election board re-
fuses to Be quoted on the matter.
President Gray asserts that the
question is on confronting the
varions county election boards,
who have jurisdiction in the cleo
ton OF city ami county officers.
In that connection it is stated
that with reference to elections
III counties this fall the law ap-
plies only TO the officials whose
terms expire before the next
general election. The language
OF the statute is.
aOn the first Tuesday sue
ceeding the first Monday Of
November, 1905, a general cleo
ton shall be held, at which time
electors Of the president and
j., vice. president shall be chosen
, also representatives in congress,
together with successors TO all
state. district, county. township

whose terms expire before the
next secceeding general election
a. here in provided
Any construction of the Law
tending to lend the impression
that an entirely new set oi
county officers must be elected
this fall, as seems to prevail II
some cases, is misleading.
Secretary Linn said today thai
he had changed his opinion re.
garding the law since last night
He believes that the term "mu
nicipal does not mean cities ane
towns and was not so intended
Attorneys in the city are charl
Of exposing their views.
In view of the short time al
lotted for filing petitions, in th'
event 1t is found elections mus

entire state probably will b
contained in a written opinion
enanating from the attorney

quest for such from some munic
ipal Official.

Candidates for Office in the

have until midnight, July &, to
file their petitions for places on
the ticket 20 be used in the pri-
maries. The law provides that
petitions must be submitted at

maries, August 4, but as July 4,
a legal holiday, comes on Satur-
day, the limit is extended until
the following Monday
Present ineumbents will hold

regular term. The legislature,
in passing the new election law,
could not invalidate the tenures

cities and towns where the
mayor was elected April, 1907,
