SUPREME COURT TO
SETTLE CONTEST
Oklahoma Attorney General Holds It
Has Jurisdiction in Disputed
Precincts.

Guthrie, Okla, NOV. 15.-The cleo
tion count throughout the entire state
may be reviewed by the supreme court
upon application OF the state for writ
of certiorari to bring all afidavits and
other evidences OF the election. in each
precinct where IL is charged Illegal
votes were cast, before the supreme
court. This is the opinion of Attorney
General West, in a communication ad-
dressed to the governor. The attorney
general states that the supreme court
has not passed upon its powers to re-
view the vote in all contested precincts
under single case brought by the
state. but he believes that the court
probably has this power under Section
| 2, Article Of the constitution, which
provides that the supreme court has
experimenting control over all inferior
courts and all boards created by law.
This, the attorney general says, would
give the court control over election
boards to the extent that the court
could review, not only their ministerial
acts, but those performed in a quasi-'
judicial capacity.
The opinion states that If newspaper
reports are true there were large
number of Illegal votes cast in the
state through lax enforcement of the
election laws, especially the grand
father clause" and constructs the situ-
alton as follows;
