MURRAY AND THE
GRANDPA CLAUSE
SENATOR FRANKLIN TELLS OF
muRRAY's ATTITUDE TOWARD
PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

\ great many men are unable 70
understand Mr.. Murray's attitude
with reference to the proposed
amendment known as the Grand
father Clause" He has recently cX-
plained his position with reference
10 the negro but | do not know
whether he favors the grandfather
clause" now before the people. !
have met Judge H. S. Hurt and other
socialists who oppose the grand
father clause" They support their
contention that the proposed amend
ment is indefinite and uncertain AMI
that Il will take the construction Of
courts to determine whether 1t Will
disfranchise Indians and white vot-
ors by saying that Mr.. Murray in
his Ada speech made such state
meat. regret that Mr. Murray
should, without any reason for such
contention, bolster up the conten-
ton OF those who oppose the
grandfather clause" Mr. Murray
should know that the proposed
amendment was taken from North
Carolina and has stood the test of
the courts Even the Oklahoma City
Times. republican paper, June 81,
stated that the Law does not apply
10 white men or Indians" II a par
tsan press can properly construe
the law, why is 1t Mr. Murray
makes statements that lend force
th the contention Of those who are
fighting the proposed amendment?
They will contend that II we meant
10 disfranchise the negro, We should
say 50 IN plain words. If We would
do what they say We should do, the
law would be plainly unconstitutional
We should not indulge In such folly
~ the expense of the people
Has Mr.. Murray ever stated that
he favors the grandfather clause"
that is to be voted on August >?
What he says he fayors in reference
a. DISTINGUISHING. the negro is not
before the people now. unless he has
changed the speeches he was making
q few days ago.

one of the strongest assets in the

policyholders of the state have been
protected by excluding the weak and
insolvent companies. denying them
the right TO transact business in this

This policy is made possible by
the splendid legislation passed by
the second legislature, and any attack
upon the methods applied or the
policy pursued by the insurance de-

LIC SPEECH AT OKLAHOMA
CITY, JULY 20, 191o-HASKELL
DOES NOT FAVOR MURRAY FOR
GOVERNOR, AS MU r RAY S
FRIENDS CLAIM.

Governor c. y. Haskell delivered
probably the strongest speech that
he has made during the entire cam
paign Tuesday night IN the Auditor
ium The building was filled 10 It's
capacity, and for almost three hours
the governor reld his audience almost
spellbound with his logical arguments
in favor Of democracy and the present
state administration.
Cruce the Capable Man.
The speaker summed up all the leg.
islatiye acts during his administration.
comparing the collapse Of the Column
Dia Bank & Trust company to the
apitol National Bank of Guthrie AIl.
ure, the expenses of maintaing Okla
homa as compared to Kansas and ter.
ritOlial regime, and impressed upon
a sound. substantial business man to
succeed him as governor.
Haskell and Cruce Agree on Prohi
bition.
Governor Haskell most diplOmatiCal
ly handled the question OF his attitude
in the pending democratic gubernator
ial contest, and by "a single sentence,
robbed the Anti-Saloon League or an.
consola ion or William Fl. Murray of
justification for threatening to exert
the military arm of the government
to prevent the re-submission of the
liquor question.
In brief, the governor admitted the
legal status of the prohibition ques-
ton necessitated an executive call for
an election to re-submit the question.
Thus he gave his first public intima-
tion that he would follow the order of
the court which held the filing of tae
re-submission petitions as legal.
Many have contended that the gov
ernor could do naught but bow to the
courts and call the eleltion. Murray
declared he would never do this unIll
he was ordered to do so by the highest
court i'm the land: that he would call
out the militia first Cruce was criti-
cised by the Anti-Saloon League be
cause he refused to declare that he
would use the militery arm of the gov
ernment 10 defy the courts.
Haskell Not for Murray.
The governors speech in part fol-
lows:
AS the nomination OF candidates
for the various state offiles which will
come before the democratic primaries
next Tuesday | hold that the democ-
racy of the state is entirely compe-
tent to make selections, and | consider
myself as one-when the time comes
| shall vote my individual preference
in each case, but, particularly, as TO
the nomination for governor"
Murray supporters are circulating
the report that Governor Haskell is for
Murray. This report is absolutely
false II you don't think so, wire the
governor before you vote.

1t has often been reported that tde

following article:
THAT the record trip of General
Manager Wright of the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah railway, over several of
the lines which lead out of Vidalla to-
ward Brunswick, meant the ultimate
organization of trunk due from this
city to Brunswick, numerous business
men in this part of the state believe
This idea is universally held by busi-

sent the southern terminus of the
road That the line will continue on
to Brunswick as its port and ultimate
terminus in that direction now ap-
pears a logical view of General Mana
ger Wright's visit there.
'It could not be learned yesterday
whether a merger of this sort is I'M

will not be known for some time, it is
believed, but as soon as such are per-
fected, line can be considered com

ready been constructed practically all
the way from Vidalia to Brunswick in
a route that could be used.
THE section beyond Vidalia is con-
sidered a very desirable one for new
roads to traverse. There is still an al
most unlimited timber supply there
and the lands also are desirable for
farming purposes"
