McNEAL and
NEGRO DOMINION
The Republican party has begun
war on the Grandfather clause.
Their purpose to ignore the law and
oppose its enforcement with the
hope of its ultimate destruction be-
came apparent as refusing to com-
ply with its provisions and as deter-
mined to work for its ultimate re-1
peal or destruction. Not-with-stand
it. and not-with-standing the fact
that it is at present the law of the
state, they refused to yield obedi-
ence to its enforcement and betray ,
their determination to destroy the
law if ever given power to do so.
Thus the issue of the recent pri-
mary becomes the issue of the com-
ing state election. The people who
fought for white domination in July
must renew the fight in October.
A vote for Cruce is a vote for white
domination—a vote for McNeal is a
vote for negro domination. The
"railroad bondsman" and his entire
ticket stand pledged to destroy the
Grandfather Clause if elected to
office. If the people who voted for
the preservation of Oklahoma by se-
curing to Oklahoma a white mans'
government wish to harvest the
fruits of their former victory, they
must oppose the election of the re-
publican ticket, for every vote in
favor of McNeal and his followers
is a vote for the immediate destruc-
tion of the political and social life.
The voters of the state are now to
answer with their suffrage the omi-
nous question '"Shall Oklahoma be
Negroid or Anglo-Saxon?"
