tion last night, at which the business
before it had been discussed informal
~. Under the resolution Of the ter
ritorial executive committee creating
it. the commission was instructed to
organize with the election of a chair
man, secretary ana treasurer. This
was effected with the election Of MIR.
Dieckmann as chairman, Mr.. Gruns-
field as secretary and Mr.. Dobson as
treasurer.
The only disturbing incident in con-
nection with the meeting occurred inn
mediately following the organization
Of the commission Mr.. Dobson had
discussed with the commission a plan
for the naming of two precinct chair
men or judges in each precinct and
this had been objected to by the other
members upon the ground that the
resolution of the territorial executive
committee called for one precinct
chairman, and that two judges would
be likely to come into conflict upon
disputed ballots. 1t was proposed by
Mr.. Grunsfeld that the commission APP
point three judges for each precinct
one to be named by each member OF
the commission. To this Mr.. Dobson
refused to agree, presenting instead a

place tonight between Governor Will
son and Sheriff Rhea, of Logan cOun-
| ty, with reference to the protection
which will be afforded the negro Ru-
fus Browder, when he is taken there
for trial Monday, charged with the
murder of j. f. Cunningham
The sheriff. In answering the COVER
nors communication as to the force he
had to protect Browder, said that the
local authorities were amply able to
take care of the situation and that
he and his deputies were subject to
the orders and authority of the court
having jurisdiction, and would act un-
der its orders The attorneys for
Browder informed the governor that
unless the negro Is protected by troops
1t is certain he will be lynched Mon
day.
In a telegram to the sheriff the
governor indicates the policy he VIII
pursue, saying:
"If the prisoner Is guilty, a lawful
conviction is absolutely sure. Lynch
ing Is murder, whether the prisoner
is guilty or not. The law requires the
governor to protect life. The good
name of the state is stained by lynch
Ing, and the state government Is
obliged by law to take all necessary
precautions to prevent a lynchlng.
Hereafter the state will take steps,
whether requested or not, upon a rea-
sonable ground for fearing such an
unlawful action, but It always prefers
to furnish help to local authorities II
application is made, troops will report
to the governor and recognize no or
