The Oklahoma City "Times ha- an editorial that bears
the caption:

FOR THE PEOPLE ALWAYS
Ihe corporation commission of this state has
•gam earned richly the gratitude of the people
in its effort to compel the railroads to make
juat and equitable rates. Though the partisan
federal judge and the Republican politiean.
headed by the Republican candidate for gov-
ernor have Wnis far successfully defeated the
enforcement of the orders of the commission it
is interesting to see what they will do with the

has again earned richly the gratitude or ihe
people.

SPAIN NOW IHE DANGER ZONE
The situation in Spain, as described in a special cable
despatch from -Madrid, i- -„ (trained that it exceeds in
interest the later news from Portugal.
Republican and socialist leaders are holding private
meetings ut which immediate recourse to arm- against
the government is advocated, and enthusiastic eongratu
lations have been openly telegraphed to the new Portu-
guese olliciale.
The recognized ne&aaitj for calling out the first army
lescMcs a dangerous measure which last year incited
the outbreak at Barcelona—shows how seriouslv the sit-
uation is viewed by the Cabinet.
Strict police surveilancc and the instant aire-1 „f any
|one who expresses republican sentiments in public in-
idiealc that the policy of the Cabinet is to prevent any
demonstration winch might throw a spark into the I
magazine.
(hi the other hand, the government is confident that
the army is loyal to King Alfonso and believe, in the
tranquiiizipg influence of Senor Canalejas* reform pro-
gramme.
In any event, n cable despatch intimates that if a
revolution occurs the King will have loyal defenders and
that he will personally place himself at the head of the
army and not wait but light.
The houleversment in Portugal was but child's plav
to what mav lie expected in Spain if the revolution.:n
agitation should develop into a powerful insurrection.

From Enid Lage.
J. Bryan, in writing to the const-
t itlmal yi.wnt on when it «a in s<s
sion In this state spoke as follows at
the t me the convention was considering
ejection laws:
"i-.'lections sh aid be crupuIous«/
guarded and no better security has
>et been found than a law giving
each party representation on all elec-
tion boards. The two larger parties
ought always to be represented and
f t ere is a third party of any con- .
slderabie strength, it should be also
represented It Is not wise to allow
the dominant party to elect repre-
sen tat Ives, from the minority party
o- part . s Each party should have
the riuht to select its o*U> represen-
'■< I n n. - er way can fairness
be Intired. Where the domnant
party aele ts the minority represen-
tation, tlie select.on is too often made
from those who are only nominally
members of the m n-rlty party. If
the i 'My organizations are allowed
to select representatlvea, the persons
selected will n->t only be bona fide
members of taeir respective itarties,
but owing to their allegiance to their
own organizations, they will be more
apt to be trustworthy."
Under the old republican regime the
state electi-n board consisted of the
governor and two persons, of opposite
political allegiance, appointed by the
governor, «o that not more than two
members of the board Vnigi.t belong to
tie same polit .••; party. But the state

two other persons, the latter being of
different r litical faiths. As a matter
of fact, both > ere named at the spgges-

board was mad. up entirely of persons
of the same political faith. Obviousty,
there was no chance under the law for
the governor to control f ie election,
« ver. board being bi-partisan in its
membership. But under the present
democratic law, contrary to the advice
°f Mr. Bryan, and contrary to the
wishes of a majority of the people of
both poliii al parties, Governor Haskell
I- the controlling jower In elections; and
that's the reason why Joe Mc.Veal since
t '.e primary and Wm. Murray before the
primary hive insisted upon agreements,
the conditions of which will assure a
fair count.
It Is a notorous fact, and a shameful
°ne. tiiat Win. Murray today asserts
that e was nominated for governor an
the democrats ticket. Thousands of
democrats bel.cve he received the ma-
' rit>" votes. The shortage of ballots
and ;• eli election frauds as were per- .

t at Murray Is right.
