FOR SPECIAL
SESSION Of
LEGISLATURE
MANY LEGISLATORS SEE COVER
NOR - CONDITION OF ELECTION
LAWS AND THE GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE FAILURE ARE TOPICS.

Oklahoma City, oct. 4.-Members
of the legislature have been in this
city in large numbers during the
last week visiting the fair. They
have called on Governor Williams and
there has been considerable discus
sion of the special session of the
legislature that has been expected and
which at one time Governor
Williams was in the mind to call.
While the outcome of the litigation
that involves the validity of the new
gross production tax on oil is fac
tor that may indicate the need for a
special session, and the desire of
Governor Williams to establish a
large Cottonseed oil mill at the Gran
ite reformatory is also a factor. The
condition of the election laws is the
most discussed topic among members
of the law making body.
If the legislature should be assem-
bled to act upon the election laws it
would be limited to the power to sub
nit an amendment to the constitu'
ton to the people to be ratified or
rejected by them. The legislators
who want special session for this
purpose point out that if the legis-
lature were assembled soon it would
be possible to submit such an amend
ment at the election in August next
wear and have the new law, in case
it were adopted, in working order
nv the November election following.
So far as Governor Williams is con
cerned he is not thinking seriously
of a special session at this time, al
though he admits the possibility OF
such an eventuation of affairs. He
will hear a great deal more about
the need for assembling the law
makers between this time and Decem-
ber. If a special session shall be
called it will not meet before Janu-
ary
There is a disposition among some
democrats to look with little concern
upon the failure of the grandfather
clause. They believe that there is
little danger of the negroes becom'
ing factors in defeat of their party,
There are negro democratic clubs IN
some counties of Oklahoma and there
are negroes who have got out OF the
habit of voting.
On the other hand there are many
democrats who are agitated over the
situation and who imagine that unless
some law is made to prevent it there
will be widespread republican gains
owing to enfranchisement OF the
blacks
