ADOPTION
RESCINDED
On Motion Of Wilson Board Accepts
Advice Of Attorney General
Book Companies Expected
tOCarry Case to Court

Oklahoma City May 29-By unani-
nous vote on motion Of supt Wilson
ti,a state board of education agreed
to make new adoption Of text books,
for the common schools, and to rescind
the purported adoption made by the
former board on July %, 1912. AS
soon as the board attempts to carry
out it's plans it will be met by an in-
junction suit to be instituted by the
winners in the last July adoption. The
suit win be based upon the theory
that what the board did was legal, and
win question the governors authority
to remove members Of the board ex-
cept for cause and in the regular man
ner which is through a judicial pro-
ceeding. It win also bet set on that
q vested right has attached under the
contracts, and that considerable ex-
pense has been incurred in attempting
to comply with a legal contract.
The boards resolution recognizes
the validity Of the old boards work
done on Saturday, July p, which in
cludes the adoption OF registers for
rural and urban scbals, the grade
cards and spoilers. There is no ques-
tion but that the old board was then
legally in existence. An other books
ana paraphernalia were adopted by
the board on Monday morning about
the time the governor served notice
that he had removed four members,
which broke a quorum. and these
s19ptions are the ones to be supplaut-
ed BY the proposed new adoption The
board has a supplemental opinion
from Attorney General West constru
ing what the board did on the satur
day before removal Of the four mem
bers as being legal bat renewed his
suggestion that a new adoption b,

Benschoeten, Col Roosevelt's attor-
neye, said the ruling was agreeable
to them. Horace Andrews, one Of Mr..
Newett's COUNSEL, described the pres
ent civil action as "semicriminal
case and pleaded Tor an unrestricted
ruling on the admission Of evidence
by the defense.
Almost every phase Of Col Roose-
yelts public life was touched upon by
the Witnesses All Of them spoke with
emphasis when they expressed per
sonal knowledge in denying as the ed
itorial charges that the Colonel gets
drunk, and that not infrequently. and
all his intimate friends know IT,
1t was asserted that whenever Col.
Roosevelt drank champagne or wine,
or mint julep, it was out OF courtesy
tc his host at some public function,
that he often only took a mouthful
from a wine glass and that on one
occasion he ordered a railroad com
pany not to place in his special car a
supply Of liquors usually placed In
such cars.
/ The witnesses were Mr.. Bacon, Tru-
man H. Newberry former secretary
OF the navy; John c. OLaughlin, a
Washington newspaper man; Luems
4 lF, Curtis a New York newspaper man,
and Gibson Gardner, newspaper man
who testified the day before. was
recalled.
I Repeatedly and in varied phases the
same question was put to each wit
ness.
"Rave you ever known Mr. Roose-
Welt 60 be under the influence OF II
quor2s or eHaye you ever smelt liQuor
on Mr. Roosevelt's breath27 ana the
answer invariably was in tie mega
tive Just as often questions were put
as to whether the Colonel was in tho
habit Of drinking intoxieants regular
ly in any quantity, and the answer
again was negative.

NEW PRIMARY LAW.

The new primary law provisions are
given below:
Party enrolment is dispensed with,
Hereafter, instead of all party tickets
being seperate and distinct and printed
on paper of different colors as under
the old law, all party tickets will be
printed on the same ballot as are cleo
tion ballots at the present time. Each
party ticket will be under its own
heading and in 1914 when the first
general primary occurs, they will be in
order of votes cast for secretary of
state at last general election that is, in
this case, Republican, National Pro-
gressive, Democrat, Socialist and Pro-
hibition.
Any registered voter may receive a
ballot.
A cross in the circle under the party
heading will indicate the affiliation of
voters No voter can vote for candi-
dates under more than one party head
ing and have his vote counted.
After making the circle at the head
of the ticket, the voter should desig-
nate his choice of candidates by cross
in the square befdre the various candi-
dates OF his party just as he does under
the present primary law.
Should the voter neglect to mark his
party heading he may still vote for
candidates under single party head
ing, but he may not vote for candida
tes under different party headings and
have his ballot counted.
The design of party enrolment was
to prevent voters from switching from
their own ticket to another to help a
friend or nominate weak opposing
candidate. II is claimed that the new
law will be more effective than the old
one in this respect and secures a much
larger primary vote. under the old law
many neglected to enroll and so could
not vote. Of course, they can still do
this, but if is thought will not be as
likely to do so under the former system
while much trouble expense and dis
satisfaction will be avoided.
A candidate for office must as before
file petition of not less than two nor
more than four per cent of the regis.
tered voters of the district in which he
desires to be candidate.
This vote is determined by the vote
for secretary of state at the last cleo
ton in his district.
