DAILY EAGLE'S TOUR OF EUROPE CONTEST.
THE MIGHTY
Gridiron Club Held Its
Annual Banquet
INSURGENTS ID PRESIDENT!
Were Butt Of Sport By
Brilliant Newspaper Men
Of The Capi al
Washington, D. C.f Feb. 7.—The
Gridiron club gives two dinners each
year and it fell out that the one
given Saturday night at the New
Willard was the silver dinner—mark-
ing the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the foundation of the club. Where-
fore there was a great gathering of
notables—a president, cabinet offi.
cers, ambassadors, jurists, grave and
reverend senators, frivolous repre-
sentatives in congress and a number
of simple newspaper men gathered
from many states of the Union. Each
and all bore off a remembrance of
the happy event in the shape of a
souvenir silver ash receiver, crossed
by the mystic gridiron.
When Pun Started.
The fun started almost as soon as
the guests were seated with a tan-
gle over the inauguration of the new
president of the club—Scott C. Bone,
editor of the Washington Herald, for
entering untimely upon the scene,
came El Presidente elaya, with his
army, composed of half a dozen gen-
erals in Falstaffian uniforms, and
one lone private, elaya, looking for
a job, had picked out the presidency
of the Gridiron club as suitable, and
was ejected only by the threat that
Secretary Knox was approaching.
Scarcely had peace and quiet been re-
stored when another interruption
came, when to the strains of the
Marsellaise, entered the "Back from
Elba Club," clad in Napoleonic uni-
forms, and including personifications
of public men who have been identi-
fied by common report with the
movement to return Roosevelt to the
White House. The "Big Stick" fig-
ured in this, and in the fierce glare
of the electric light and in defiance
of all rules of secret orders, and in
the presence of several hundred
"Ouitlanders" were dragged forth
and duly initiated the two unfortu-
nate neophytes of the Gridiron club,
George Edmund Miller, resident cor.
respondent of the Detroit News, and
Jean Callan O'Laughlin, of the Chi-
cago Tribune. They were made to
forswear all of the policies of their
respective newspapers and to pledge
themselves to be on the pier to wel-
come "The Only One" when he re-
turned from Africa—all this to the
chant of "When Teddy Comes Sail-
ing Home Again; Hurrah!"
Quelled the Insurgents.
The insurgents got their grilling,
too; when between courses was ren-
dered an affecting scene from Uncle
Tom's Cabin, for this occasion de-
scribed as "Uncle Joe's Cabin, or
Life Among the Insurgents." A pre-
sentment of Speaker Cannon was the
clever Lawyer "Marks;" another
of Whip Dwight was the brutal over-
seer, "Legree" and various promi-
nent insurgents figured as "Uncle
Tom" and his fellow slaves, and "Lit-
tle Eva." They were roughly treat-
ed, told that they had been deprived
of all patronage, and their appeals
to the speaker to "resign" were met
by demands for their return to the
republican caucus. Finally put upon
the block at auction in a dubious
market, the democrats and republi-
cans alike holding off from the bid-
ding, the sale was stopped by orders
from the White House in the shape
of an emancipation proclamation, in
order to secure party harmony.
Trusts Fairly ltoast<Ml.
If the insurgents were grilled, the
trusts were fairly roasted in another
skit portraying the "infant Indus,
tries"'—the lumber, whisky, beef,
eoal and tobacco trusts—seeking pro-
tection from a number of ugly-look-
ing customers identified as "The Ul-
timate Consumers." This was a verse
from one of the chants of the trust
magnates, to the air of a popular
song;
"Oh the ultimate consumer always
has to come to us,
Cause he hasn't any other place to
He will rise in indignation; he will
go,
make an awful fuss.
Cause he hasn't any other place to
go.
Why are all our guests assembled
here tonight in glad array?
Why do congressmen keep coming
to our city, day by day?
Why did Roosevelt grab a gun and
beat It clear to Africay?
Cause he hadn't any other place to
— gQ'

TAYLOR'S MOW ELECTION LAW
IS WOltttE THAN THE ONK
PASSED LAST TIME.
Guthrie, Ok., Feb. 7.—Governor
Haskell's ninth message was read to
the senate Saturday, opening the sub-
ject without recommendation of
amendment of the general election
laws. Senator L. K. Taylor of Chick-
asha, the dmeocratic caucus chair-
man, immediately introduced the
first of three election measures that
are intended to place Oklahoma
among those southern states that be-
lieve that election results should be
controlled by election laws instead
of the election laws being the means
for recording the views of the elec-
tors.
The Taylor bill Introduced today
is a measure governing initiative and
referendum elections. It repeats
most of the Murray bill passed by
the first legislature on this subject.
The first article deals with general
initiative and referendum petitions.
The second article contains the new
matter which it is admitted is in-
tended to make easy the enactment
of an amendment to the constitution
for the educational test and the
"grandfather clause."
The article provides that the legis-
lature may by joint resolution sug-
gest to the citizens of the state prop-
ositions for an amendment of the
constitution. Should the citizens
within a year initiate the proposed
amendment, the secretary of state as
soon as the required petitions are
filed, shall cause an attested copy
to be filed with the state election
board. The state election board is
given supervision of the printing of
the ballots for the propositions pro-
posed by the legislature, and the bal-
lots shall be printed either on a sep-
arate ballot or upon the ballot upon
which the names of candidate ap-
pear.
The Taylor bill then provides: "If
printed upon ballot with the names
of candidates, such board may cause
the proposition to appear either be-
fore the list of candidates or between
any particular group thereof, at the
close of such list of candidates or at
any position upon such ballot as such
board may deem proper. Such elec-
tion board shall cause the said brief
title of each proposition to be print-
ed immediately followed by the words
|'for the amendment,' which words
shall be printed in the same size and
class of type as the title is printed
in and shall be at the close of such
. title.
) Should the elector desire to vote
for the proposed amendment he shall
leave the words 'for the amendment'
intact, but should he desire to vote
against such proposition he shall
strike out the words 'for the amend-
ment' with black pencil mark. When
the words are so erased, the ballot
shall be recorded as having been cast
against the same and whenever they
are not so erased, such ballot shall
be recorded as having been voted for
such proposition.
The bill provides that no duplicate
or sample copies of the ballot shall
be printed and any one printing, cir-
culating or having in their possession
I such sample ballots outside of the
election enclosure shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and punished by both
| fine and Imprisonment. All other in-
itiative and referendum propositions
shall be voted for as provided by the
first legislature, the ballot contaln-
I ing the places "yes" and "no" after
which the voter stamps.
I The bill also provides for regis-
tration, requiring persons before vot-
ing on initiative and referendum mat-
jters to be registered in all cities and
j In county precincts In certain in-
' stances. If 15 per cent of the voters
| of a county petition for county regis-
jtratlon, the state election board, a
partisan body owned by the governor,
| may in its own discretion order coun.
ty registration in that county. This
I provision is intended to enable the
I state election board to force regis-
tration in the country precincts in
republican counties and not demo-
cratic counties. The chairman of
tho precinct election board which is
appointed by the county board which
is appointed by the state board, Is
the registration officer.
The registration provision in this
bill differ from those in the Taylor
bill passed by the last session, in that
they require the registration officer
to keep his books open at an adver-
tised place each Saturday during Oc-
tober preceding the election; and
that it requires him to Issue re-
ceipts.
It is similar to the last Taylor bill
In that it provides that "he shall re-
cord the names of such electors as
he is of the opinion are entitled to
registration at that time," and pro-
vides for no appeal from his decis-
ion. It also provides that no regis-
tration certificate shall be accepted
which bears any mark, figure or word
which are not on the carbon copy re-
tained by the registration officer, and
If the voter Is challenged the regis-
tration officer "shall decide whether
the proposed electors shall be allowed
to vote if registered and such rul-
ing shall be final."
The registration list is perpetual,
except where the registration officer
holds against registered persons.
It is understood that the demo-
crats of the two houses in caucus
have decided to enact the Taylor bill
practically without change and the
author believes that it will be so
worded that it will become immedi-
ately effective and will not be subject
to referendum. It Is to be followed
by the concurrent resolution suggest-
ing the "grand father amendment"
which would disfranchise many thou-
sands of blacks who vote the repub-
lican ticket.
