State Board Considering
Text Books for Schools
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 18.—
Governor Lee Cruce will have an op-
portunity to play his trump cards
in the board of education text book
matter, for the board went gaily on
with the hearing of the book men
•Tuesday, disregarding the latest
proposition from the executive office
that the formtl adoption be defer-
red to October, after the publishers'
representatives were given an op-
portunity to present their wares.
"It appears to me," said the gov-
ernor, "that matters have gone bo
far on this board, that there never
can be harmony. There are three
members on the board who think that
they are little more than figure-
heads.
"Three members of the board
Jiave favored postponement of the
book adoption until October, as I
requested the board. The events
that have followed my request, indi-
cate to me that the division on the
board in this matter is four to three
and that the four are the same fout
who controlled the board according
to the charges tiled last year."
These four were State Superinten-
dent R. H. Wilson, State Treasurer
Robert Dunlaop, Scott Glenn of
Shawnee and O. Frank Hayes of
Chandler. I
"It looks to me," continued the
governor, "as if it was the governor
and three members against the su-
perintendent and three members. |
"If that board decides to go
ahead with the adoption, I shall not
only refuse to sign any contracts or
approve any bonds, but I will put
ihe whole matter up to the legisla-
ture and let them thresh it out.
"If the members of the board have
not sense enough to read over three
or four second readers and tell
which is the best, they haven't sense
enough to be members of that
board."
Superintendent Wilson raised a
question of veracity between himself
and the governor when he character-
ized as "utterly false" the former's |
assertion that the division on the)
board of education was just as it i
had been before the investigation in
1911.
"There never has been any di-
vision in the board on the matter
of book adoption," said Wilson em-
phatically. "The board has agreedi
at all times that the only honorable'
thing to do in view of the fact that
a'l arrangements have been made, is
to go on with the adoption.
"One member of the board has
said that out of his personal feel-
ing for the governor, he would like
to see the adoption postponed, but
this he thought the fair thing to do
was to go ahead and hear the book
men who have been sent here in an-
swer to the advertisement for bids,
and let the contracts."
The member referred to by Su-
perintendent Wilson was W. E. Row-
sey of Muskogee. Wilson declares
that J. F. Warren of Oklahoma City
had been most insistent on letting
the contracts right away, and that
W. E. Brandenburg of Oklaoma
City had favored the summer adop- Shawnee had offered to go over to that the governor refused to pledge
tion, too, on account of his increas- the governor's side and vole for any protection to the Shawnee man.

It was rumored about the old Cruce's promise in return that he and instead of considering the mat-

The Indian people have never had
a greater friend than Governor Has-

movement and spent time and money
to protect them in their property

protected when the Constitution w
