GRANDFATHER CLAUSE MUST

Oklahoma City, Oct. 17.-That the

tion, in spite Of prosecutions that
have been started in federal courts
against inspectors who have at
tempted to enforce it, became evil

election officials, advising that the
provision be followed.
The attorney general advises that

cases where inspectors are in doubt
as to the qualification of the per-
son Offering to vote, the test should
be applied as should also be done
in every. caxs lyheret e challenge is

qualification to vote under the
amendment.
The opinion holds that the en-
forcement of the law should not 70.
solve itself into a force through lax
ity, neither should it be used op-
pressively, by requiring unusual }:
unjust tests or by requiring any
test at all where the inspector
knows that the proposed voter can
pass the qualifications. The instruc-
tions apply to precincts where reg
istration is not required, since in
cities cf the first class the posses
sion of a registration certificate is
required, as evidence of qualifica-
tion to vote, but even where regis
tration certificates are furnished, a
voter may be challenged on the
ground that he can not comply with
the qualifications required in the

the opinion, and in these cases the
test should be applied.

FEELINGLY OF AFFAIR.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 17.-"My
thought is constantly of that gallant
gentleman lying in the hospital at
Chicago
With this sentiment running
through his speeches, Governor
Woodrow Wilson toured Delaware
today, deploring the assault on Col
onel Roosevelt and deprecating the
use of violence to interrupt the
course of politics. The democratic
nominee devoted his argument most
ly to state issues Ill Delaware. He
omitted mention OF the progressive
party and when he discussed nation
al questions, attacked the adminis-
tration of President Taft, declaring
there was prosperity enough for
those at the top but that it had not
"percolated through the rank and file
of the people"
The governor made four speeches,
nearly a dozen towns and closed the
day with a big street parade and
meeting at Wilmington tonight.
Urging Delaware to "join the pro-
cession Of progressive states" Gov
ernor Wilson declared in his speeches
that it was dangerous to block the
progress of reform in America" and
that the "stand-pat dam which IS
the only thing that holds back the
popular forces will presently break

believe America is singularly a self

believe that part Of the sadness we
now suffer from because of that
atrocious assault upon Mr.. Roosevelt
is a feeling that there is anybody
in the United States who would
dare interrupt the orderly course Of
politics and the puDllc analrS OF
this country by the violence of his
own hand. We deeply resent it. We
resent the thought that there should
be any citizen of the United States
