ELECTION BOARD
HOLDS MEETING
About Forty-five of the Election
Commissioners who
WILL CONDUCT THE ELECTION
The Conference was called in
Order to give Instructions
Commissioner Tunis Bixby of the
Indian Territory districting and can-
vassing Hoard, together with Judge
\V. H. II. Clayton also a member of
the board, met with about for...'-five
of the recently appointed election
commissioners who will conduct the
election machinery at the delegate
election to be held November ti, at
the Commercial club rooms this
morning.
Judge Hill of Vinita did not ar-
rive in the city until 1 o'clock and
was not present at the meeting.
The conference was called in or-
der to instruct the fifty-five com-
missioners of election as to their
duties as letters of inquiry had been
pouring in upon the districting
board from all sides.
The two members of the board
present at the meeting this morn-
ing answered all questions the com-
missioners desired to know. It was
in regular Sunday school catechism,
a modern school of instruction.
One of the important rulings made
by the districting board was in ref-
erence to the legal residence in a
precinct.
Chairman Jesse Dunn of the Ok-
lahoma Democratic Central commit-
tee, had raised the question that
tinder the Oklahoma law a resident
of the Indian Territory must be a
resident of the precinct in which
he votes for a period of thirty days
immediately preceding the election.
The districting board has decided
that the Oklahoma law does not ap-
ply in the Indian Territory but tha*
on the contrary the statehood bill
provides that every male resident
in the Indian Territory over 21
years of age who has resided for
six months in the territory is en-
titled to vote at the first election.
The fifty-five election districts of
the Indian Territory will be di-
vided Into precincts by the Com-
missioners of election in such a way
that no precinct shall have in ex-
cess of two hundred qualified voters.
The division will be made according
to the best estimates of the com-
missioners. Some of the precincts
one or two in strong Democratic
strongholds will contain less than
than 100 voters.
In one particular precinct in the
Choctaw Nation it was discovered
that voters would have to go eigh-
teen miles to vote although the vot-
ing population is extremely light.
Voters in the Indian Territory
will not he required to register in
Oklahoma.
'1 ne Districting board will for-
ward election booths and ballot
boxes to the various election com-
missioners but the commissioners
will be given the ballots in
person at the headquarters of the
board in this city, who are at
present arranging for enlarged
quarters in the Fite-Rowsey build-
ing.

SUPERINTENDENT
Conflict of Authority in Seminole
Nauon School Circles
AT THE EMAHAKA ACADEMY
Settled this Month hy the Remov-
al of the Superin-
tendent
Muskogee. I T It Is probable
that a conflict of authority between
the tribal authorities and the gov
ernmcnt at the Kmuhaka academy.
In the Seminole nation, will lie set-
tled ibis month l>\ the removal of
the superintendent. Mrs Davis, who
was appointed by the tribal govern-
ment It Is understood that the
superintendent of the Indian schools
here has received instructions to
that effect, although the supervisor
..f the schools will not commit him-
self as to the contents of the or-
der.
The original treaty with the gov-
ernment provided that the schools
be turned over to the secretary of
the interior by the tribal govern-
ment on March I. 1901!. On March
2 of that year, however, a resolu-
tion was adopted by congress extend-
ing the tribal governments in the
five nations until some necessary
work could be completed, such as
the signing e deeds, etc The Sem-
inole authoi: es claimed that thin
extended th> ir right and control of
the schools. An opinion was obtain-
ed from the attorney general, hold-
ing that the secretary of the In-
terior was entitled to con'rol the
schools under the treaty, 'i n the
conflict arose.
The superintendent of th• school
Is a sister of Governor G. F. Brown,
of the Seminole nation, and Stanton
Brown, another brother, Is superin-
tendent of the schools of tha: na-
tion. Jackson Brown, a third broth-
er, is treasurer of the tribal govern-
ment. The officers of the tribal
government contend that they are
entitled to continue the management
of the schools and a trip to the
school made liv Superintendent Fal-
w'eil a few days ago failed to set-
•b> '!.<• conflict. The cb partilient a«
Washington was again called on as
to what course to pursue, and it is
understood that the department ad-
vises the removal of the superliito'i-
dent and those in charge of the
school and the appointment of a
new superintendent and instructors.
The government now controls all
of the government schools In In-
dian Territory, making contracts
with the superintendents, who ope-
rate and control the schools. No
difficulty has been experienced nndcr
the new plan except In the Semi-
role nation, and all of the schools
in the live nations are In session.
The Mekustlkey school was op -n -rl
this year by the tribal goverumo.lt
of the Seminole nation, but i eon-
tract made by the government wl'h
the superintendent at the same fig-
ure that he was managing the school.
The only difficulty arose with the
Emnhaka academy.
The government shows a deter-
mination to assert its authority in
the Seminole nation, declaring th it
the tribal authority no longer ex-
ists.
