Cash Cade Shows up the Falsity
of Democratic Educational Test

This law was ingeniously framed.
1t was framed for the purpose of going
before the people and saying to them
that it was an educational test. At
the same time it gave the governor
power To control the whole election
machinery OF the state and so arrange
the ballot by placi-g the first three
names or the last three names or more
il they so desired, on the ballot so that
every ignorant democrat in the state
could vote the democratic ticket.
ut has been said that there is fric-
ton among the democratic state off,
GERS, which is true. Suppose the gov
.ernor wanted to punish an individual
in his party. He would so arrange his
name that it would become an educa-
tional test, while his pets would have
the favored places on the ballot.
Take for instance, the placing OF
names of candidates for presidential
electors on the ballots under the rib
bon" system, which this law prescribes.
The first seven names on the ballot
will be democrats, and all any demo-
crat has to do, who can count seven. is
to vote for the first seven names and
quit. That's not an educational test,
hsft simply matter of being able to
count seven II the Republicans. pro-
hibibtionists, socialists and independ-
ents should have tickets also, that
would be twenty -eight candidate al
together-their names will be mixed
on the ballot following the democratic
seven, and it would take an educated
business or professional man to vote
the ticket and even he would have to
be an expert. 1t simply means the
disfranchisement of thousands of the
most intelligent men in the state.
"The independent voter, the social
list, the republican, the prohibitionist
and the honest democrat will put the
stamp of condemnation on this law
when the opportunity presents itself. ("
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1909-05-06

Talk about your educational test"
said Cash Cade, Republican National
Committeeman-"the democrat who
happens to be in disfavor with Cover
nor Haskell and his machine ring, v i'll
understand what the Taylor ribbon
ballot election law means in that re-
spect, for l tell you this law was passed
to perpetuate the Haskell wing of the
democracy in power to the exclusion
Of everything else and OF every other
brand.
81 am opposed to the Taylor ribbon
ballot election law for the reason that
it gives the party in power-the COVER
nor--absolute power over the people of
the state. 1t does not mean only that
the Republican or Socialist, or other
party is in danger because of this per-
nicious law, but also it gives to the
governor the one man power to make
a martyr of any member of the demo.
cratic party that happens TO secure n
nomination by the people that he does
not like.
"For instance the first three, four or
more names on the ballot could be
democrats. The word could be passed
down the line to democrats, and by
counting three or four or seven, they
could vote the democratic ticket. Then
II there were some democrats that the
governor did not like, he cou'd mix
them up with Republicans, Socialists
and Independents and make it an edu-
cational test so far as the one or more
particular democrats were concerned.
"The democrats will go before the
people and say that this law is an edu-
cational test, and it would be, had they
included iii the law that the names
should be placed on ballot in alpha
betical order. They will also say that
the Republicans are opposed to the
law because we are afraid that il will
disfranchise the Negro. / say, 80 per
cent. OF the Negroes can vote any kind

they are housed are alike in detail of
construction, but in interior arrange
ment wide contrast is made.
The Philippines building was the
first of the government group to be
finished, and the collection shipped
from the islands, made a full cargo for
the trans-Pacific transport, Dix. With
in week from its arrival, the entire
exhibit was in place and complete in
every way.
Probably the best record for speed
and elaborateness of construction has
been made by Japan. Work on the
national building was somewhat delay
ed in starting, but within a months
time, a building has been finished
which would ordinarily represent the
labors of at least three months. The
exhibit was in Seattle before work on
the building was started, and its in
stallation was a work of magic.
State and county buildings are with
few minor exceptions ready. All that
remains to be done is the repainting
of two of the smaller ones, and this is
the work of one day. Exhibits are all
arranged and visitors could be welcom-
cd now.
The Hover painting, the arrange
ment of lawns, the planting of shrubs
and ornamental trees and vines is ac-
complished the work of the gardeners
and landscape artists is confined to the
care and development of the work
done and this shows perfection not
surpassed.
Three thousand men have been en-
ployed for weeks in forcing construc-
tion SO rapidly chat no delay might
he possibly apprehended. This force
has accomplished its purpose and the
exposition is ready.

SHOOTING AFFAIR At G0URDINS.
Two White Men Wounded by Gun in
the Hands of SCufiling Ne grOeS.

Late Tuesday afternoon Drs
Gamble and Jacobs received a
telegram from Gourdins stating
that two white men had been
shot and were in need of atten-
ton. A short while later, how
ever, before DR. Jacobs could
respond to the call, another mes
sage advised that one of the
wounded men had been taken to
the hospital in Charleston.
Yesterday morning further de-
tails of the affair stated that the
two young men, Messrs S E Nc
Donald and David Hanna, were
in the Gourdin Mercantile Co.'S
store when a row started out
side the store between two neg
roes. Hearing the noise the two
men went outside to ascertain
the cause of the disturbance,
when just as they got out Of the
store on the ground a gun went
off and the contents said to be
bird shot-took effect in their
faces. Mr. Mcdonald was only
slightly hurt, we understand,
while Mr. Hanna received most
of the load in his face and head
and is severely wounded. From
what we can learn the shooting
of the two white men was pure
ly accidental; they happened to
be in range when the gun was
fired in the scuffle.
The foregoing account is given
as we received the report from
parties living near Gourdins, and
is entirely "hearsay evidence. Z"
