The question Involved was the con-
Htructlou of that portl'fi of the en-

stated that tlio election laws of Ok
lahoma was In force In tho holding
if elections In tho Indian Territory
or whether tho Arkansas statute pre
vailed In holding the iminlcip.il elec-
tions this spring.
The contention of ho petitioners
was that the enabling act .i1nn.'atei
all other acts and put In foroe the
Oklahoma elect l:l laws while the
contention of the attorneys repi
sontlng the city was tnat t'r holding
of elections under the Oklahoma elec
tion laws referred only to thoie
lections wherein the formation of
statehood wan coneei nel and that

for the holding of municipal elections
In the Indian Territory under the
Arkansas law as rovllei for by
the statute and which Is in effect un
til the state has been formed. Inas-
much as there Is no prolslou for
holding elections In any oilier ec-
lon of the territory xcept In cities
ami that no other elections save
those concerning statehood are men-
tioned In tlio enabling net.
Judge Toivnsend In rendering Ills
decision stated that it was his op
inion that the constitutional eonveri.
tion had it within Its power to hold
the election for the ratification of
the constitution and the election of
state olflcers in whatever manner
the convention decided iHn and
thnt tho provisions of the ennblln;
act for holding the election of dele-
gates fulfilled all the requirements
of the enabling act.
Judge Townscnd complimented tho
convention for nppl)lng the Oklaho
ma law for holding the election for
ratification nnd stole otlleers under
the Oklahoma law as to piecludo any
misunderstanding on the part of the
voters.
In tendering his opinion on the
question tho Judge used the follow-
ing language: "lit is to my mind
clear that the purpose of forming a
state government as set forth In
the preamble of the enabling act Is
all that Is required of the Oklahoma
election law. Provisions in conflict
