GRANDAD CLAUSE
TO Be ENFORCED

Muskogee, Okla, June Fired P.
Branson, who as chairman of the state
democratic central committee, initi7
ated the amendment to the Oklahoma
constitution known as the Grandfather
law, which law is now in operation in
this state, in an opinion just given
out, holds that the ten presidential
electors in Oklahoma are state off
GERS and that the laws of the state
will apply to them in the November
election. Mr.. Branson's opinion,
which will be transmitted to the diff
ferent bo0 rds OF election of the state,
means that the negroes who cannot
stand the Grandfather test, will be
denied the right to vote for president
in Oklahoma this year. Two deci-
sions rendered by Judges Campbell
and Cotteral in the eastern and west
ern districts of Oklahoma, have caus.
ed some of the election officers of the
state to be in doubt, but Mr.. Bran.
sons opinion will clarity the situation
In the case tried before Judge Camp
bell, certain precinct election officers
were prosecuted under the United
States laws, for refusing to permit
negroes to vote at the general elec-
tion in November, 1910 Mr.. Branson,
demurred to the indictment on the
grounds that, while the amendment
to the constitution may have been in.
tended to give negroes the right to
vote, still congress had made no pro
vision for its enforcement and until
such provision was made, the state
was supreme. He argued that this
had been so decided by the IT, S. cir
cult court in an opinion handed down
by Justice Lurton, now of the su
preme bench, and by other appellate
courts. Judge Campbell sustained
Mr. Branson and the men were dis
charged The court held that the
state was supreme in providing laws
for the election of state officials. The
case decided by Judge Cotteral, ir
which the court refused to sustain a
-emurrer to the indictment, was in
different, for in this instance, the men
were indicted for conspiring to pre-
vent negro from voting for con
gresham. The. court held that the
conspiracy charge would lie, as the
men were accused of conspiring tc
prtvent man from voting for a con
gresham, which was a crime
Mr.. Branson in his opinion, holds
that presidential electors are nothing
but state officers, and while the gen
eral impression may be that a voter
in casting his ballot, is voting fol
president, he is mistaken and is only
fOllllS lOI eItClOIb VIII Ill ILL II lldy
or may not vote for president He
holds that electors must be voted on
just like any other state officer and
if the election officers finds that the
negro voter cannot qualify under the
Grandfather amendment, then the ne
gro can be denied the right to vote.
It is estimated that there are 40,
600 negro men in the state, who are
over q years of-age and of this mum
Der, less than $4,000 will be permitted
to vote for presidential electors in
