CROOKED METHODS TO PASS
ELECTION LAW.

This is the view the 8art,eSl lille
Examiner Democratic) takes of the
lteracy test law which the present
Democratic state administration is
trying to sneak over the people at
the August primaries As the Exam
iner states. if there were no other
reasons for voting against the law.
the methods by which it is hoped that
IT can be sneaked through are such
rs condemn it with all fair minded
leople regardless of political affilia-
tions. This is the way that paper
sizes Up the matter:
The litcrlcy test is one Of the re-
ferred measures submitted to the
voters in the August primary. 1his
amendment is submitted in way that
max es 1t confusing to the voter and If
the voter is not careful he will vote
for the measure whether hr is tor il
or is against II. on ali the other
measures submitted there are squares
provided for The yes pr mo- of the
voter, but in the literacy test the
Measure is submitted with the state
ment. For the Amendment and the
voter must mark out this affirmative
IN order To keep his vote from being
counted in favor of it. This is what
is called cute politics and the trick
indicates jus the tricky kind of
really Is. The Examiner believes that
this amendment is not drawn ir the
interests of the state as a whole, but
is drawn in the interests of the state
administrations political machine, it
should be defeated. The Examiner
does not believe Oklahoma needs a
measure OF this kind and II does not
approve of the manner IN which it has
been submitted. But II You want to
vote against the measure sou will
