WEST HOLDS NEW
BOARD IS LEGAL
AND ADVISES STATE BOARD OF
AFFAIRS TO THAT END-TEllS
FRAME do NOTHlN1."

Attorney General West advised the
state board of affairs Monday thac
even if the new board OF education
is enjoined, it is the only legal board
on the face of conditions. The opin-
ion was written to Lon NJ. Frame,
chairman of the board Of affairs.
The attorney general informs Mr.
Frame that at an early date, posi-
bly, Tuesday, he will file an applica-
ton for writ Of supercedeas in
Judge Clark's court and that until
action is taken thereon 'it appears
to me the only safe thing for you to
do is to do nothing.
The new members of the board 60

In the meantime, the idea grows
that the contest between the two fac
tions or boards, will not be settled
until the Legislature meets and the
two sets of appointees go to the SEN
ate for confirmation. And there no
thing but hard fight is expected
before one side or the other wins.
Even if the present case before Judge
Clark is appealed as spe6dI'y as pos
sible, a decision before the legisla-
ture meets could hardly be looked
for r.-Oklahoman.

AN EARLY PRIMARY.

The sooner we get through with the Democratic primary election the bet ter it will be for the city, the voters and the candidates. An early primary election is favor by practically all of the Democrats of this city and it is believed that every candidate and prospective candidate for the various city offices will urge it when the Jef- ferson County Democratic Central Committee convenes to fix the date for the balloting.
 Sheriff Edgar Brewster, chairman of the county committee, will probably call meeting of the committee for l next week to make the preliminary arrangements for holding the primary ] as provided by law. The primaries should be held about the middle of December, if not earlier. There is no need for the campaign extending through the holiday season into the coming year. The candidates want to get through with it and 1t Is the opin- | ion of all others that it should be disposed of at the earliest possible time.
 | The people of this city and county have just recently passed through a state election, which incidentally en- gendered much bitter feeling of a wide difference of opinion over the various constitutional amendments and the Prohibition issue, and the na- tinonal election is yet to be held-No- vember ,. We have had enough poli- tics this year to do us for awhile and 1 the city election should be disposed 1 of as quickly as possible.
