NJ wHITE MAN oIsFaANcAIsgD.


The republicans have been diligently
circulating the report that the pro
posed grandfather clause win oper-
ate to distranchise some white men
and also Indians who can't read and
write NotKing is further from the
truth.
The proposed amendment requires
that negroes who apply to vote shall
be able to read and write. Ii does not
place any such requirement on white
voters or Indians.
No class Of voters are mentioned
by name in the amendment but It is
simply provided that the educational
qualification shall not apply d any
person who was entitled to vote under
any form Of government prior to Jan
uary l, 1866, or who is descendcnE
cf such a person cleary this makes
Il applicable to no perA3n except the
negro. The Indians had a form Of gov
ernment prior to 1866 and freely exer.
cised the right Of suffrage. Natural
lied citizens or their forefathers voted
under some foreign government. The
language Of the amendment is such
that BY no possible construction can
it restrict the franchise OF any per-
sons except negroes.
The sole object of the proposed
amendment is to disfranchise ignorant
negroes. 1t will not affect the black
man who can read and write.
If the grandfather clause Is not
adopted negroes are going to continue
to pour into Oklahoma, attracted by
the climate, cotton fields and favorable
political conditions. and it will be but
few years until Grady county viii be
facing the conditions which prevail iii
certain communities in the eastern
part OF the state where the blacks out
number the Whites and we shall have
to deal with the negro Office seekers.
Such a condition invites racial strife
which can bring nothing but iii to any
race. The adoption Of the amendment
will be for the best interest Of both
races because it will remove the posi- /
hility Of racial friction which IS always
Taught with disastrous consequences.
