LEE CRUCE LETTER
TO JOE v. MNEAL
IN WHICH THE LATTER GETS A
HUNCH THAT HE SUPPORT THE
GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.

Hon. j. W. McNeal,
Guthrie, Okla.
My dear Sir:
Your letter of Sept. 18th has been
received, read and considered.
In as much as you first proposed a
meeting OF candidates feel that 1t is
proper for you to issue the call, nam
ing the place and time of meeting. |
will be glad to attend and will urge
upon all democratic candidates that
they do likewise.
| am pleased beyond measure to
know that all candidates for important
state offices in Oklahoma are willing
to assist In every way possible in pro
noting honest elections in this state.
When we meet to agree upon plans
to carry into effect the suggestions
heretofore made by you in your letter
Of August 18th, as / understand 1t, we
will not be confined in our actions to
the propositions stated in your letter
but any candidate will be permitted to
offer additional suggestions that will
tend to greater security of the sanctity
of the ballot.
In securing an honest election it Is
not sufficient that each voter "be per
mltted to vote just as mis- conscience
dictates, and have his vote counted
and declared just as 1t was cast but
II Is equally important to provide that
none but legally qualified voters shall
be permitted to vote. To permit He
gal and disqualified voters 20 partici-
pate in our elections Is just as fatal TO
honest elections and good government
as II is to make false count and return
Of legal ballots. On the 2nd day OF
August, by a very decisive majority,
the people OF this state amended our
constitution, whereby certain qualii-
cations have been prescribed as prere-
quisite to the right TO cast a ballot.
This amendment is popularly known
as the Grandfather Clause in the
constitution. Having become a part
of our organic law It is the duty OF ev-
cry citizen who believes in upholding
the laws of the state to see that this
provision Of our constitution IS carried
into effect.
At our meeting I shall propose that
we take steps to see that this amend
ment to the constitution is strictly en-
forced at the coming election, TO the
end that no illegal or disqualified voter
under our laws IS permitted to vote in
this state. From the interest you have
manifested in regard to fair elections
am warranted in concluding that you
will heartily join in the effort to en-
force the Grandfather Clause" amend
ment in this election. VIII you do so?
Let us all unite in seeing that none
but legal voters under our constitu-
ton and laws are permitted to vote
that each voter be permitted to vote
as he desires and that his ballot be
counted and returned as cast. With
these things accomplished Sunshine
and Prosperity" will be the portion Of
the people OF Oklahoma.
Very truly yours,
LEE CRUCE.

WHO is CHARGED WITH OBTAIN
ING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
TENSES IN LA-ITON AFFAIR.

The following is from the Lawton
Daily Star of Tuesday, Sep, ember 27:
Charging him with obtaining money
under false pretenses, Frank Jones of
the Jones Brothers Drug Co., yester'
day signed a complaint in County At
torney Fain's office against j. u. Wall
OF the National Circulating Promoting
company. A warrant has already been
issued and officers notified to look out
for Wall.
Wall is the man who promoted the
Lawton Library Contest, which has
been progressing so nicely in Lawton
for the past three weeks.
From each merchant represented in
this deal Wall procured from $500
to $500 and left Lawton for points
unknown, and still no library with its
500 volumes, has ever shown up in
Lawton.
This action on the part of Mr.. Jones
was taken yesterday after several con-
ferences held with the business men
of the city who were interested in the
affair and who had paid their money
over to Wall for the privilege of being
in on this contest.

knock out Jeffries.

There is no doubt about this. lie
will defeat Jeffries because he has
unbounded confidence. combined with
cIcverness and wonderful muscular
development. No man of the bulld
and cIeverness of this dusky giant
whose heart is in his work, can be
defeated by Jeffries. Don't think
that | underrate Jeffries. | know him
perhaps better than any other man IN
the world He is mot a fighter who
loves the game. and therefore lacks
confidence
Camp Johnson, always happy, was
almost hysterical with joy over De-

ed that the illness of Delaney had de-
laved him in San Francisco, but there
was generally accepted rumor that
Johnsons managers brought Delaney
here at the eleventh hour to give the
negro's spirits an uplift Just before

not the sight of Delaney made john
son happy.
