Governor Takes Fall Out
OF the Partisan Members

that their oaths should be violated
their conscience laid aside, and petit,
ipolities made out Of the sacred righ
of citizen and a public oficial?"
Is the privilege of one of thes,
caucus dictators, who, after having
acted as an attorney in the hearing
of these charges, after having exam
ined his witnesses, and made his ar
Iguments, and filed his brief, that II
is sSill his privilege TO go into the
secret sessions of a partisan caucus
and there seek to dictate to the hon
orable members OF this committee by
partisan vote of those who are not
upon the committee.
The great republican party af this
state with it's thousands of honorable
members can never fail to feel the
disgrace that was attempted night
before last when a partisan caucus
demanded of its members that they
ignore their oath, ignore their con-
science, and look only to petty con-
temptible partisanship.
The world loves a man who has the
courage of his convictions to fight In
open honorable combat, but the world
with equal spirit looks with contempt
upon him, who unable TO cope in
open combat, seeks such secret and
infamous means Of winning partisan
advantage.
fhis persistent caucus action which
has held up the report of this com
mittee for days has become SO well
known to the public in general as TO
have fully convinced the public that
nothing but the party lash, welded
by men too eowardly for open com.
bat has prevented an earlier report.
We fully realize that men of the
highest honorable purpose may hes
itate to be guided by their conscience
when tho threat is held over their
heads that they will be condemned by
their party organization, and it is no
wonder that they deliberate and hesl-
tate in taking action in the presence
of such threat, and yet 1t is vastly to
their credit that they refuse to sub.
init to such partisan dictation, and +
urge the enactment Of law as above
stated so that future public officers,
and the reputation Of Oklahoma in
the future may not be embarrassed
and blasted by a recurrence OF such
infamous practice as this caucus re-
sorted to in this instance.
If the purity of iuries and like
service is to be destroyed
and partisan or personal spite be sub.
stituted for honest conscience, the
time has certainly come when law
should penalize such practice.
Respectfully submitted, c. N. Has
kell, Governor.

NEW SALARY LAW
MAY GO TO COURTS
Republicans In Legislature Threaten
TO Carry Conference Bill Recent
ly Passed to Courts.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 1S.-It is virtu
ally certain that the constltutionality
of the new fee and salary law adopted
by the special session of the leglsla
ture will be attacked IN the courts and
knocked out entirely. If this should
occur the main object for which the
Legislature has labored for two months
would be nullifed.
The possibility of such action has
alarmed the democratic members who
were responsible for adopting the con-
ference report on the bill, which was
a rewritten one and as a result the
senate has sustained the action of Sen.
ator J. G. Graham in ordering the OBJ
iections made to the regularity of the
bill by republican senators, eliminated
from the permanent records of the
Legislature Graham ordered the jour.
nal clerk to exclude from the record of
March 10 the explanation filed by the
republican senators giving the reason
for voting mo- on the bill. This was
done without vote of the senate au-
thorizing him to do so, as admitted by
the president pro tenn on the following
day.
The republican senators declared
that the conference bill was an en-
tirely new measure foreign In con-
struction and in some of it's subject
matter to the bill as passed by both
houses and that was never read in
either house nor printed before the
senators were asked to vote upon 1t.
c. G. Jones, in the house, also raised
the further point against the consti-
tutionality of the bill that the joint
rules provide for the appointment of
conference committees of three mem
bers from each house and, without
suspending the rules, both houses ap-
pointed conference committees com.
posed of five members from each
house.
The written explanation OF the mega
tive vote of the republican senator's,
signed by all but one Of the majority
and which the senate refused to in
clude in the journal Of the proceed
ing, reads:
I'VE vote no on senate bill No.
for the reason that the bill has been
neither read nor printed and we have
thus been deprived of an opportunity
of acquainting ourselves with the pro-
visions of the bill"
It is signed by Senators r. s Curd,
