KERKER BRO'S.
Oklahoma City, March 9.—At the
eleventh hour the Legislature heeded
the popular demand for amendments
to the general election laws. The
House Wednesday passed a bill in-
corporating many unusual features
in behalf of fair and honest elec-
tions, and the senate devoted its
Wednesday night session to u dis-
cussion of Senator Allen's bill to the
same end.
The bill passed by the House is
by Representatives Breedlove, Craw
ford, Coughlin and Peters. The
House caucused on the measure
Tuesday night, after Barrett had
made a fierce attack on the present
law giving the state board of elec-
tions control over the county elec-
tion boards. The result of the cau-
cus was plainly apparent Wednesday
in the east with which the bill, as
amended, went through the house.
Probably the most unique feature
of the new bill is a requirement that
the election inspectors post publicly
on the outside of each voting pre-
cinct within one hour after the vote
is tabulated, a copy of the tally
sheet showing the entire vote at the
precinct.
The bill cuts the state into three
state election board districts, and
provides for the election of one mem
ber of the state election board from
each su~h state district. It will be
seen right here that aL the mem
bers of the state board may be Dern
ocratic or Republican, or mixed
cording to the strength of the various
parties in the individual districts.
The secretary of the state election
board, to be chosen by the board
from its own membership, is to re
ceive $2,100 per year; the other two
members $6 per day and expenses
The governor is to appoint a board
to act until 1912, when at the gen
eral election the board will be regu
larly elected. The term of office is
four years, as amended Jjy Killam.
The county election board is to be
composed of three members, one of
whom shall be appointed by the
state election board and act as sec-
retary. The two other members are
to be named, one each, by the tw
dominant political parties in the
county, and respective vacancies
be filled in the same manner.
The precinct election board is to
consist of three members, appointed
by the county election board. Mem
bers of the precinct board may be
removed by the county election board
for cause, Vogle making a hard fight
against removal without restrictions
as to why, which • caused the "for
cause" to be added.
Precinct officers must not be re-
lated to the third degree by mar-
riage or blood to candidates, and
must not have any bet or interest
in the election.
The enumerators are to call the
number of the votes aloud as tallied
by the counters. Four duplicate tal
ly sheets are to be made and dis
tributed. Each party is allowed
watchers and challengers.
Ballot boxes are not to be opened
except on order of courts.
Statements of returns and certifi-
cates are to be sworn to, and heavy
penalties are provided for false re-
turns or statements and false swear-
ing.
The bill contains the "grandfather
clause" provision verbatim, and pro-
vides a ready way of enforcing the
law against affidavits by negroes, by
# providing that the election inspec-
ts! ors or challengers may make coun-
$ ter affidavit if they believe the
$ would-be voter's affidavit is tncor-
rect.
