REPUBLICANS TO MAKE
TEST OF ELECTION LAW.

Arthur Geissler, Republican State
Chairman, plans to test the new cleo
ton law in the courts and as star
ter has filed in Oklahoma county in
junction proceedings to restrain the
county commissioners from paying
for printed supplies for the county
registrar The petition as pled in
Oklahoma county district court re-
cites in part:
1.-THE alleged registration law is
void for the reason that it restricts
the franchise and adds additional
burdens in order to be a qualified
voter. By the terms of the law the
County Registrar is made judicial
officer with high prerogratives and
powers to carry on the law.
1.-The Registrar is clothed with
absolute authority to strike from the
registration list of voters in his pre-
cinct the name of any voter who.
by the judgment, whim or caprice of
said Registrar, should be stricken
from the list of registered voters. He
is authorized to summon witnesses
before the county registrar to pass
on the qualifications of voter.
mo appeal from the pretended
findings of the Registrar is provided
and no trial by jury is provided or an
appeal from him to another court"

HEAR NEGROES PETITION
ON JUNE FIFTH


District Judge Hatchett has an
nounced that he will hear the cases
of thirteen negroes, against the reg
istration official at Bochito the first
thing on docket when district court
convenes on June 5th. The thirteen
negroes all seek to compel the Off
GERS to allow them to register as
voters, which was denied, under the
provisions Of the new election law.
The cases are actions in mandamus.
All the petitioners filed pauper at
fidavits, throwing the cost on the
state. 1t is said that some of the
petitioners are property owners and
the defense has filed a motion ask
ing that they be required to put up
a deposit to cover costs. Utterback
and Macdonald have been reained by
Dr. Calvert. the Bokchito registra-
tion officer to take care of the de-
fense.
The outcome of these cases will
be awaited with interest, and the
validity of the election law probably
dpends upon them. The petitions
were all filed on printed forms, said
to have been sent to every negro in
the state from Rpublican headquar-
ters.

from building roads a number of
counties may duplicate the Federal

TO be held this fall, September 49,,

terday they put it up to the business
men, "Shall We Have a Fair or
Shall We Not" and the result was
the raising of $4,000 in a few hours
to guarantee the fair. The checks
are made payable to Green Thomp-
son trustee, and dated September
10th. They are to be cashed only
in the event of a loss, and then,
whatever loss is incurred will be
prorated and the remainder return
ed to the donors. Run right there
will be no loss, barring the misfor-
tune of bad weather, and there
should be profit on the enterprise.
There will be many educational
features to the fair, but the big card,
the thing that will draw the people
will be the amusemen feature. The
people want to be amused, and will
pay their quarters at the bate for
it. Knowing this the Board will
procedd accordingly.
