OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. 30 The House at Washington at it's extra session next spring will have to pass upon the Grandfather law of Oklaho- ma. This law, the authorship of which is accredited to Senator Gore, denies the right of suffrage to those who can not read, write and interpret any sec, tion of the State Constitution. Many negroes are disfranchised by it.
 The matter will come before the House incidental to contest by John J. Davis, of Chandler for the seat of Representative Bird S. Mcclure, of the First Compression District. If the House upholds this law Davis, who was the Democratic opponent of Me Guire in November, will be seated, it is assumed. On the returns McGuire's majority over Davis was 579.

Harris and United States Attorney Boardman, of the Western District conspired to permit disoualified negroes to vote by inti midating election officials and prevent ing their enforcing the provisions ot the Grandfather law by sending out letters bearing the signature of Board man. advising election officials that enforcement of the law would subject them to prosecution under the Fedora Constitution.
