PASSES!
BOD
Over Opposition of Re-
publicansDebate Was Hot One
Guthrie Okla. March 2. That the
an educational qualification orI Ki-anauuner clause" was made plain
on the floor of the house of represents
j lives yesterday. The occasion was the
j final passage of Senator Taylor's bill.
providing methods for holding elec-
tions under the initiative and referen-
dum. The bill conr.ains a provision for
special questions to be suggested by
the legislature voted on by the people
in w hich the voter votes "yes" by mak-
ing no erasure or alteration in the bal-
let and votes "no" by erasing the
woid. "for the amendment."
Both Democrats and Republicans
have long since in caucus reviewed
the bill and the passage today was
formality. The Democrats voted solid-
ly for the bill passing it easily; the
j Republicans voted solidly against it.
iThe Republicans contended that it was
J a part of the program to disfranchise
I the negroes and around this point a
! debate of two and -a half hour took
j place.
j Wormian Democmi defended the
bill. "Talk about the corpora! ions pro-
fiting by this bill" he said "when the
corporations elected
the last four Re-
Talk about cor-
ruption vvhen the stench of the Repub-
I lican rottenness of territorial days was
1 so strong tnat the man in the moon
j held his nose when passing over Okla-
I honia Territory to keep from fainting."
; Wortraan said 'that hd was opposed' to '
J allowing Jim Harris carrying around
miriy-nve or tony tnousana negro
votes in his vest pocket. "The civil
war Is not an issue" he said. "Fifty
years have gone by since that. We.
are here now waging a war for repre-
sentative government. We are getting
j ready to defeat the barrels of boodle
fthat the corporations will pour into
j this state next summer to elect a Re-
j publican state ticket. For instance
j we now have three Republican mis-
I representatives in the lower house of
j congress. With the aid of God and the
Democratic party we expect to send
tetter men up there than these."
Jones Republican closed tt ' ' argu-
ment for the Republicans. Ronald
that in his judgment the Democrats
were making a mistake and ho de-
nounced the bill strongly.' He drew
a parallel between this demoralization
caused by the foreign laborer in Penn-
sylvania and the negro in Oklahoma.
The Mil was passed by 61 Democrats
for it and 33 Republicans against it.
