white citizens the humiliation Of bow
ing to the will of a black justice OF
the peace or permitting the Official
service of an impudenr negro con
stable would not only be wise but
beneficial TO the interests Of society.
We want a white mans country. We
expect to treat the negro with the
respect due an American citizen and
if the federal court holds our suf-
frage law in allegiance we have no
thought of attempting to enforce it..
Things have come to pretty pass
in intelligent oklahoma when polit-
ical pirates begin teaching Ignorant
negroes that a law adopted by a
majority of 25000 votes is not law.
1t is a far presumption on the rights
of the people to govern themselves
when a set of men take the authority
to anticipate what the holding of
federal court will be on the grand
father law"

Guthrie, Okla, oct. 22.-Reports of
threatened riots have reached Guthrie
from Wewoka They have had ten
dency Of increasing a growing un-
easiness among republicans that the
grandfather law will not be passed
upon by a federal court before the
election. Judge John A. Cotteral Is
holding court at Lawton, and If he
has heard from Judge Walter A.
Sanbourn, of St Paul, whom he in
vited to take the bnech heer during
the hearing of the case, no one
here seems to know it. 1t is general
impression here that three judges
will be required. to sit on the case.
Reports reached here of threaten
ed riots on election day in Lincoln
and Pawnee counties in case the
grandfather law Is enforced. Precinct
election officers have reported that
it may be dangerous to attempt to
open the polls. The balance of pow
er in the First congressional district
lies with the negroes. To lose their
votes would mean certain defeat for
Mcclure in the face of a strong in
surgent movement against him.
