ELECTION OFF|CERG
HARD TO GET
Few Care 20 Take the Risk of Enfore-
ing the Grandfather Clause.

Oklahoma City, Oct S--That very
serious problem faces the election
boards this fall in the manner of en-
forcing the grandfather clause, is a
statement made by Ben w. Riley, sec
retary Of the state election board, in
a report to, Governor Cruce today.
"The serious part of it being" Mr.
Riley says, TO get competene men, or
any one at all. to fill the positions OF
inspectors and election officers in the
precincts where there is colored pop
ulation."
While the report does not state, it
has been known for weeks that the
election board might encounter diff
Guilty in finding men who are willing
to enforce the grandfather clause as
rigidly as expected, and at the same
time face the possibility of being ar
rested for an alleged violation Of the
federal constitution. While they are
in sympathy with both the letter and
the spirit of the clause, there is said
not to be disposition on the part of
many, living in sections heavily pop
ulated with negroes, to face the ordeal
of being taken into court and the pos
sibility of conviction for the sake of
enforcing the suffrage restriction, Two
election officers were convicted in the
federal district court for western Okla
homa and given penitentiary sen.
tences, the mandate not having been
enforced, owing to the cases being on
appeal. How far this feeling will go
in the November election members of
the administration are unable to say,
yet it is apparent, particularly in some
sections of the state, the election
board will meet with difficulty in find
ing competent men who would be will.

Secretary Riley in his report says
the legislature should provide funds
to pay all the legitimate expenses of
election officers who are placed under
arrest and that there should be ample
funds for legal defense of those ar
rested.

there would be a heavy additional ex-
pense from now on because OF the

clude heavy bills for literature which
has been distributed all over the coun-
try. The expenses of Governor Will

Mr.. Morgenthau did not know just
what they amounted to, but said that
they were being kept down as low as
possible. He understood the private

an extra $45 day, hardly more than
the cost of an automobile. The ex-

TICKET ScALPING SCANDAL
TO BE AIRED FRIDAY
National Commission Has Voiumlnous
Report to Give Out Then.

Cincinnati. o., Jan. 3.--After almost
three months of investigation the Ma
tional baseball commission, which met
here TO-DAY, has reached a decision as
70 the alleged ticket scalping scandal
during the last worlds series at New
York and Philadelphia. A finding Will
be handed down, but just what this
finding will contain remains secret

son given for he delay is tnat the
document will be voluminous and re-
cuires considerable care in its compo-
siti0n.
Chairman August Hermann, Presi-
dent Thomas j. lynch of the National
league. and President Ban b. john
son of the American league, laDored
exactly eight and half hours today
and reached the above conclusion. MI
nor league men from all parts of the
country haunted the hotel lobby, wait
ing for an opportunity to appear be-
fore the commission and give their
e,vs on the changes in the national
peace agreement, but all entreaties to
lie heard and allowed to go home prov
cd futile. At adjournment this eve

Make Officials Careful About Charges
In regard to the Bresnahan- Murphy
case, Chairman Hermann said in his
annual report: Il refer to the accuse
ton Of Manager Breshnahan Of the
St Louis National league club that
President Charles W. Murphy of the
CbicasO Nationals openly impugned
his motives in the performance OF an
official act and branded him as liar
in a hotel lobby. Such incidents serve
TO discredit those il control of clubs
and to bring the league with which
they are associated into diSrepute. l
recommend the adoption of a. specific
rule providing for the imposition of
an adequate penalty upon any party
connected with organized baseball who
through the press or in a public place
makes charges rejecting upon the in-
tcsrity OF q league official. owner,
manager or player of q club and upon
citation of the commission fails to
substantiate such charges or to show
reasonable justification for utterin :
ard circulating them"
The report showed that the last
world series netted the commission

The report also urged the passage
