B ranson's Statement of
Present Election Law

Chairman Branson of the democratic
state committee has issued the follow
ing:
There is considerable confusion
found to exist among many of the
people of the state as to the present
status of the election law of Oklaho-
ma. It seems to have been the height
of ambition of some of the republt
can papers to undertake to confuse the
people. The editors of the newspapers,
of course, understand the situation,
but many of their readers do not, and
l am calling your attention to this in
order that clear and concise state
ment may be made as to the condi-
tion, which is as follows
The election law In force in Okla
homa at the present time is the one
passed by the first state legislature
of Oklahoma in the spring of 1908.
and is found in Snider's Oklahoma
statutes. The second legislature,
which met in January, 1909, passed a
new election law known as the Tay-
lor bill, which would have repealed
the 1908 act had it ever become effec-
tive. 1t never became effective for
the reason that the republican party
had the same referred under the ref
erendum provision of our law to a
vote of the people, thus suspending
the same until after it could be voted
upon. Before an election for the rati-
fication or rejection of said act was
called, said act was repealed by the
Legislature in the special session Of
1910 and what is known as the Bryan
election law was passed. The new
law will operate to repeal the 1908
law, which is now in effect, on and
after June 10, 1910, provided that ref
erendum petitions are not referred for
ratification or rejection by the people.
II it is referred the old election law
first above referred to passed by the
first legislature of Oklahoma will re-
main in full force and effect.
The special session of the second
Oklahoma legislature of 1910 passed a
resolution recommending to the peo-
pie Of the state, that. an amendment
to the constitution of the state be mi
tiated under the provisions of our law
for initiating amendments to the
constitution, relative to suffrage, the
amendment to be section AZ of arti-

INDIAN STEPS OF MOVING
/ FRISCO TRAIN At MELVIN

Muskogee, Okla, April 26.-An in
cident that would have been amusing
had it not been so dangerous, occurred
on the eastbound Frisco train Satur-
day afternoon near Melvin. An In
dian who said his name was Squirrel
was on the train. He had been drink
ing. At Melvin he gave some one his
bottle to take drink. The train
started up and had gone mile or
two when Squirrel suddenly remem-
bered his bottle and rushed out of the
car and walked right off the platform.
The train was running about rs miles
an hour. A Cherokee boy saw him
fall off the train, and after waiting
some time hunted up the conductor
and told him about it. The train had
gone about two miles. The conduc-
tor and the rest of the passengers
were finally convinced that the boy
was telling the truth and the train
was backed up. When it reached the
point where Squirrel was supposed to
have fallen off nothing was to be seen
of him. but farther on down the track
man was seen running ahead of the
train. 1t was Squirrel He evidently
thought the train, having failed to
kill him in the first place, was com
ing back to run over him. When the
train caught up with him and stop
ped Squirrel climbed on at the front
end Of the smoker and coming inside
innocently inquired of the passengers
, if someone had fallen off the train.
He denied being the guilty person,
and it was only after he had been
kidded about it a good deal that he
admitted he had fallen off. There was
not scratch on him, but he was COW
cred with dust and dirt where he had
rolled over and over when he struck
the ground

SCHOOL. NOTES.

The pupils of the high school are
completing a number of their sub
jects just now and will spend the rest
of the time reviewing.
A number of parents are asking if
they can take their children out OF
school the last month and have them
promoted. For the benefit of such pat
rons no promotions will be made to
pupils who miss the last month of
school at all It is absolutely neces-
sary for each pupil to attend all of the
time in order to be promoted into the
next grade.
Some patrons are not as careful
about writing excuses for their chill
dren as they should be, thereby caus-
ing the teacher a great deal of trou-
BILE. Every pupil should have an ex-
cuse for each time absent or tardy,
telling the teacher the reason why. as
we have a number or truancies each
day and we need to keep line on each
pupil.
The past week has been good school
weather, but our old building was a
little cold even in April.

Gle of the constitution, and Is in
words and figures as follows, to-wit:
eNo person shall be registered as
an elecsor of this state, or be allowed
to vote in any election held herein,
unless he be able to read and write
any section Of the constitution of the
state of Oklahoma, but no person who
was, on January 1, 1866, or at any
time prior thereto, entitled to vote
under any form of government, or
who at that time resided in some for
eign nati5n. and no lineal descendant
of such person, shall be denied the
right to register and vote because Of
his inability to so read and write sec
tion Of such constitution ,w
1t is clear from reading this that
the same does not put any qualification
upon the right of any white man or
Indian citizen to vote. 1t will merely
operate to exclude the illiterate col
ored population Of this state, many Of
whom are flocking to Oklahoma to
make this their home, for the reason
that other states from whence they
come have deemed it advisable and
for the best interests of the state to
put similar qualification in effect
This committee shall highly appre-
ciate it if through the columns of your
paper you will make it clear to the
people of Oklahoma that this amend
ment to the constitution Of the state
will not in any wise affect the right of
suffrage of any white or Indian citi-
zen of this state In compliance with
this resolution Of the legislature. rec
ommending the same initiative petit
ton in conformity to the state of Ok
lahoma have been sent out oyer the
state to be signed for the purpose of
initiating this amendment to the con
stitution of Oklahoma It is expected
that the same will be signed at once
and returned. so that the same may
be filed at once and the election call
ed upon this proposed amendment to
the constitution as early as prac-
ticable. 1t IS expected that the same
can be gotten in shape so that the
election on the same may be called on
the date of the primary, August 2.
|l9l0, thus avoiding the expense of an
extra election. Very sincerely. Fred

STILL NO SOLUTION OF
DISAPPEARANCE or NOTES
By Associated Press.


Kansas City, Mo-, April 26.-If
Judge Ralph Latshaw had known last
week as much about the disappear
ance of the grand jury notes. which
fell into the hands of DR.. Hyde's coun-
sci, last Wednesday, as he does now,
three persons would have been order
ed arrested by him. Furthermore he
believes if he had been notified of the
loss of the papers as soon as they
were missed, they never would have
gotten into the hands of the defend
ants attorneys. Prosecutor Conkling
is still investigating. He has asked
the local bar association to help solve
the mystery and offered to resign if it
can be shown that he is in any way to
blame for the loss of the papers.
Miss Rose Churchill and Miss Eliza
beth Gordon were the only two wit
nesses before the court during the
