Violating The Election Laws

The Basin Republican of the 18th contains a II account of the city
election at Basin O n the 9th Of this month, and says that both parties
worked hard all day, using carriages and automobiles to bring the ~
tiers to the poll. If Brother Gebhardt will read Section 1919, Of the
Complied Laws of Wyoming, he will see that the people Of his town
violated that section, which forbids the use of any kind of conveyance
for procuring the attendance of voters at the polls. and each person 70
engaged. IT in any way connected with the hiring of such vehicles, is
subject to a penalty of 5000. The author of this law, Senator Price,
of this place, says that it was the intent of the law when introduced,
to prevent the use of carriages or any other vehicle even during school
elections.

The Associate Editors OF The Voice

During the illness of my good wife, covering a period of the two
months jus: past, many editors of many minds have participated each
week in the preparation of this page. In my absence from the office
the editorial brethren of Wyoming have contributed frequently to
these columns. Editor Crawford of the Saratoga Sun, Editor DEM

State Officials Will Ask Court to

Observation-Disclosures Re-

Washington, D. c., September a.
One of the most serious attacks ever
made on the treaty-mak'ng power
OF the United States will mark the
opening Of the coming OF the Supreme
Court of the United States next month.
The italian government, through its
consul general on the Pacific coast.
Will argue that the United States pos

estates of foreigners who die in this
country without leaving Wills. Public
officials from California Will contend
that the Federal government has no
such power. and will ask the court TO
do what II never yet has done, declare
treaty unconstitutional. More than
that. twenty nations with treaties sim
liar 10 this one between the United
States and Italy will await the deci-
sion OF the court. In many respects
the question involved resembles the
Japanese school question in California
during the Roosevelt administration.
and It Is said that the decision would
control the latter question should 1t
ever arise again
The Cane mt Issue.
The case which the Supreme Court
will be called upon t. consider arose
over the settlement OF the estate Of
San Joaquin county, Cal, without a
will. but with sl.o64 in bank.
Salvatore l. Roccio. Italian consul
general in California, claimed the right
TO settle the estate. SO did George
II. Thompson, public administrator in
San Joaquin county. The Supreme
Court OF California deNded against the
italian official.

NEGROES ARE IN FLIGHT
Sacrifice Property, and Now None rs
Left in Town.

Caddo. Okla, September 3.-For the
first time in its history Caddo to-
night has no negro residents. The
blacks have also fled from much Of
the surrounding country. The exodus
started this morning from the first re-
port OF the killing of Horace Gribble
q white farmer. by negroes last night
and continued throughout the day No
warning notices were necessary. The
blacks took fright at the temper Of
the whites and feared to remain an
other night. All outgoing trains were
crowded. while extra facilities were
required for the handling OF their bag
gage and express. More than 1900
purchased tickets for AfcAlester. Mus
kogee, Atoka, Oklahoma. and Bonham.
Whiteright and Denison, Texas, and
smaller towns The ticket sahe7
amounted to nearly $1,000 Cattle. hogs
and croI9 were sacrificed at ridiculous
prices in order to raise money, while
much other personal property was left
behind. Farmers were in an angry
mood following the report OF the kill
ing, but the community is quiet to-
night since the negroes have fled A
large Sunday crowd at the depot
cheered each departing train which
carried the bla,,ts from the town The
three negroes arrested for the killing
were taken IN an automobile to Tisho-
mingo. Officers there at first hesitated
to keep the prisoners fearing n mob
would pursue them and attempt n
lynching. There was no agitation here
in favor of such a demonstration.
