GONE OVER TO THE
GREAT MAJORITY

Mrs. Sarah Peck Hewitt passed
away at her home. 795 North Seven
teenth street, this city, yesterday at
1880 o'clock. Her husband, Joel
Hewitt and two sons, Burt s., OF
North Yakima, and Edward T., of Sc

1891, where she and her family have
since resided. She was member OF
the First Congregational church of
this city, and will be buried from this
church tomorrow afternoon at $3.50

mother, residing on the old home
stead in Iowa, passed on before her.
She will be greatly missed by a
host of friends, and especially by the
church circle in which she was so ac-

read or write or whose grandfathers
were not eligible to vote. The amend
ment is aimed at the negro vote,
which is very large, and the Indians
and half-breeds, who are entitled
under certain qualifying conditions
to vote.
The amendment was adopted by the
people at recent referendum cleo
ton, and was upheld only month
ago by the supreme court of the state.
When the supreme court upheld the
amendment, in accordance with the
declaration that the move was a po-
litical one, and that 1t was made in
the interest of the administration.
The Republicans charged that the
Acknowledgement cinched Democratic
control in the state, although the
people were really displeasod with
the administration of Governor Chas.
N. Haskell, Democrat.
Republican politicians endeavored
to secure federal Interference, but
the decision of the supreme court was
handed down so near to election time
that the plan was not feasible.
AS a result of the decision uphold
ing the grandfather clause" the
negroes, many of whom are land own
ers, and lesees of the Indian "allot-
ment" lands, and who are a strong
factor in the agricultural population,
protested and many meetings were
held, declaring the act an outrage.
The feeling among the negroes has
been growing steadily, and many of
them alleged that the amendment,
which nominally gave them a chance
to vote If they could make affidavits
of qualification, would be used to
keep them from voting at all.
Negroes today in all parts of the
state are armed, and the whites at
the polls have also been armed to
prevent an attack.
In Fussy Creek district the negroes
are particularly strong, and very Bit
ter against the act, which, they de-
clared, was an infringement of their
rights. When the polls opened today
they proceeded to the polling places,
openly carrying arms. The whites
who were in control OF the polls re-
fused to allow certain negroes to vote
who presented affidavits that they
were eligible. Some of them affirmed
that their grandfathers were voters,
and others alleged that they were
able to read and write. The officers
at the polling places refused to allow
them to cast their votes. The ne
groes at once stormed the polling
place, drove out the white officers
and took charge of the election, The
news of the action soon reached 9TH
er sections of the county, where there
Is heavy negro vote, and the negroes
became threatening. II the whites
who have gone to secure the polls
again are compelled to fight the ne
groes 1t is feared that II will be the
signal for a wholesale riot through
out the districts where the negroes,
Indians, Indian half-breeds and the
Indian-negro half-breeds are thickest.
The situation is considered grave,
and the news of the whites who drove
to Fussy Creek district is anxiously
awaited here.
These colonies are thick in Creek,
okmulgee and okfuskee counties and
in the region of the Little Tiger
mountains, where the Indians under
Chief Crazy Snake recently attempt
ed an uprising.
