BANKERS ALL
STATE CONVENTION ENDORSES
GUARANTY LAW
CONFIDENCE IS RESTORED
Governor Cruce's Promise of "Square |
Deal" Turns Tide and Brnkera
Depart in Good Humor
After Big Meet
Oklahoma City More harmonious
thun at any time for the last two years
the Oklahoma Stale Hankers' associa-
tion brought its annual convention in
Oklahoma City to a close, its last un-
expected act previous to adjournment
being to unanimously pass a resolution
endorsing the state guaranty law. The
resolution went through the conven-
tion with a whoop and a hurrah that
fairly staggered some of even the most
aggressive advocates of the law.
Those state bankers who have re-
cently nationalized rather than pay the
1 per cent assessment ordered by the
state banking board to replenish the
guaranty fund, and who have persist-
ently attacked the law, departed from
Oklahoma City in much better humor
than when they arrived, due in large
measure to the fact that they have
gained definite information regarding
the guaranty fund and its recent man-
agement.
Governor Cruce's speech was illu-
minating and his promises of a "square
deal" and threats of the use of the i
"big stick" so positive that wavering i
confidence was restored. Added to
this was a statement by J. C. McClel- j
land of the state banking board giving j
still further information relative to the J
guaranty fund and the plans for the |
immediate future.
The strong speech made before the |
bankers by Governor Lee Cruce was j
probably responsible in a very large
measure for the result. There have
been murmurlngs among many of the
bankers that they have paid special
assessments for the guaranty fund, that j
money has been spent in some way j
and that there was no accounting for j
It. Governor Cruce assured them that |
there will be no secrecy in the hand- j
ling of the guaranty funds, but that j
every dollar will be accounted for. He j
promised lhat the banking business of j
the state of Oklahoma will lie run on
the lines of the strictest honesty.
In strong terms he told the state
bankers that if any of I hem were dls
satisfied with the banking laws it is
the best thing for them to "get from
under" as soon as possible. He warned
them against allowing dishonest bank-
ers to gain a foothold in the business,
as well as against incompetent bank-
ers.
Five arrests for violation of the law
have already been made, and the gov
ernor declared that if these men get
their deserts, which he promised they
will, they will spend terms in Hie pea

Judge Cotteral Holds Disfranchise-

bell Says No Offense—
Other News
Oklahoma City.—That it is legal to
disfranchise the negro in the east-
ern half of Oklahoma and illegal in
the western half, is virtually the effect
of the two decisions handed down
Tuesday on the "grandfather clause"
by the United States district courts for
the two districts ol' Oklahoma.
Judge John H. Cotteral of the west-
ern district, sitting in Oklahoma City,
held positively that the amendment
adopted by the people of the state last
August is in violation of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, while Judge Ralph E.
Campbell of the eastern district, sit-
ting at Muskogee, sustained demur-
rers In the cases brought against elec-
tion officials who refused negros the
right to vote, holding lhat no offense
iad been committed against the United
States.
The Cotteral decision was claimed as
a victory by both sides. Judge Cot-
teral also decided that the federal
government could not punish individ-
uals under section 20 of the federal
code
The rases arose as a result of a num-
ber of indictments returned by a fed-
eral grand Jury last January. Seven
arrests were made, and the defendants
demurred in each case, on the grounds
that the federal government had no
Jurisdiction, as the matter of suffrage

i arrested under this section and their
i cases wil be dismissed.
