Oklahoma City, Jan. 6.-There was
action a-plenty of the warmest kind at
the state house Friday evening and in
a sharp conflict of authority between
Governor Lee Cruce and the supreme
court of the state of Oklahoma over
the location of the court house Of Del
aware county the chief executive of
the state came out first best with Ad-
jutant General Frank NJ. Cantons sit
ting on the lid" in Delaware armed
with instructions from the governor to
call out the full strength of the state
militia, if necessary, to enforce his
proclamation declaring the old town
site Of Jay the county seat.
In an election held in Delaware
county year ago Jay won the county
seat fight over Grove In the mean
time an addition has been built to the
original townsite of Jay and the own.
ers of the new site desired the court
house located there Thursday Gov
ernor Cruce dispatched General Can
ton to Delaware county with instruc,
tions to move the county records which
had been taken from Grove to New
Jay and to locate them in the old Jay
townsite, giving the general his proc
lamation declaring old Jay the proper
county seat.
The interests behind the new town
of Jay got busy Friday and secured
from the supreme court an order re
straining General Canton from carry
ing out the provisions of the cover
nor's proclamation. The order was
granted without any notice to the gov
ernor or to General Canton it is said
and information that the restraining
order had been issued was sent tC
! Grove by wire.

ed like the latter had been left at the
post.
The governors anger had not coo'ed
off with the sending of the telegram.
He called up Chief Justice John B.
Turner Of the supreme court and ask
ed him about the order Justice Tur-
ner stated that it had been issued and
said that the court was following the
law.
And I am governor of this state, "
replied Governor Cruee. q sent Gen
eral Canton to Delaware county to en-
force my proclamation about remoy-
ing the county records. If he does not
do it, will get someone who will Ny
proclamation will be carried out to the
letter, and if the supreme court wants
its order enforced the court had bet
ter send a force right away"
To an attorney in the case, Cover
nor Cruce declared that the court
house will belocated where he said it
would be located and that if General
Canton got in contempt of court for
refusal to obey its order, he, as gov
ernor viii see that he gets pardon
every time he is molested.
Prior to the order restraining Gen
eral Canton from removing the court
records, Governor Cruce was some
what "riled" over the action taken by
the county commissioners Of Delaware
county, and it was for that reason that
he dispatched the adjutant general to
the scene.
History of Fight.
More than year ago the election
to determine whether Grove or Jay
should be the county seat was held
and Jay received a majority of the
votes Grove protested, and the case
went to the supreme court.

Quick Action.


Governor Cruce learned OF the eff
forts to prevent the carrying out of
his mandate through an outside source
and angered by the methods employed
to override his orders, he got into ac-
ton in about ten seconds with telling
effect.
T telegram was dispatched to Gen
eral Canton from the governor and
commander-in-chief of the Oklahoma
militia" directing him to proceed with
the enforcement of the proclamation
and instructing him ito employ force
if necessary" Incidentally he took
shot at real estate spectators who are
determined to use the courts in an
effort to thwart the will of the peo-
pie" His telegram follows

Whatever force is necessary for you

to restrain your action through the SUI

done without any notice either to you
or to me and is in line with the whole
policy that has been pursued by those
who have been double-dealing with the
governor in the matter of the removal
of these records. There should be no
friction over this matter, but if it mus I,
come, l will see that the will of the
voters of Delaware county is not sac
rificed to the selfish, greedy interests

everyone else in an effort to thwart

Shortly after the telegram had been
sent, and before it had reached Grove,
it developed that the proclamation al
ready had been carried out. General
Canton bears the enviable record Of
always doing what he sets out to do,
and upon his arrival in Grove Thurs
day, he lost no time in moving the
county records. He was there to move
the records and to see that the gov
ernor's proclamation went into effect,
and he did it.
Friday afternoon he returned to
Grove with the court records safely To-

The Times-Union says that less than
half the voters went to the polls April
80. and gives this an argument
against the primary. 1t is best to de-
mand the proof for many of the Times
Unions assertions. About 1900 Marion
county democrats voted in the primary,
and that is comfortably over half the
democratic strength. The primary was
held at a time when 1t meant heavy
loss for many farmers to leave their
fields. else the vote would have been
larger.
