Guthrie, Okla.—Declaring that the
misunderstandings of the newspapers
•and.the public speakers of the state
as to the referendum petition filed
against the Taylor election law made
it his duty to put the real facts plain-
ly before the people, overnor Haskell
has issued a statement giving the his-
tory of the referendum petition and
of the protest that has been filed
against It.
The governor grants the right to
any citizen to file a petition asking
the referendum, and also grants the
right of any citizen to protest against*
such petition. He says that if it is
properly gotten up an election will lie
called, and if not, it will not. The
supreme court will Ilnaly pass on it.
The Governor's Statement:
"The legislature liavind adjourned
March 12, the last day for filing a
referendum petition was June 10,"
Joseph H. Norris and others, acting
as a committee for the referendum
petitioners, filed a large number of
portions of a petition, the last portion
being filed on the last day, June 10.
'Under the law of the state anyone
or more legal voters are entitled, with-
in five days thereafter, to file written
objection to the referendum petitions,
and within said five days written ob-
jections were filed, objecting to tin;
referendum petitions for several rea-
sons. stated in said exceptions.
"ft then became the duty of the sec-
retarv of stute to fix a time for the
hearing of i-ald exceptions .'ml on
such bearing, if the seoietaiy of state
finds that the referendum petltiina
ari) insufficient, either not .cgil in
farm, are not signed by the requi-
siie number of voters in the manner
required ly law, he will, no d mbt
sustain Ihe exceptions, whereupon the
referendum committee may appeal
from the findings of the secretary
of state direct to the supreme court,
which will review the action of the
secretary of state and enter their de-
cree as final on the question.
"On the other han, if the secre-
tary of state finds the referendum
peiUions properlv signed and valid as
to form, he will overrule the excep-
tions and sustain the referendum pe-
ti'ions, in which event those who file*
the exceptions may appeal to the
sut.reme court for final determination.
"U'e have only to recall the first
o>;reri^nco of Oklahoma on a refer-
endum vote in order to show the wiv
dem of our present referendum law
In providing for final decision of
our fiiT'reme court before the expanse
of folding an election is Incurred, as
it will he recalled that last year the
legislature referred certain provisions
of the state disnensary law for r.-fer-
endi'fn vote of the people. The vote
was had at the November election last
year, considerable expense beins In-
curred. and after the vote was tak'-n
the supreme court decided that the
proceedings were not in accordance
with the referendum law, and there-
fore were invalid and the election was
void."
