or-rail of Garfield county and one of the leading Dentocratie newapapers of i the state la kieW ere in its criticism tp Secretary of State Cross it Bays editorially: "The Vave-Democrat is of the opinion that Secretary of State Cross and his legal political advisers erred when they denied the referendum petions on the Taylor election law on purely technical grounds Technicalities should never rule in matters of this kind The only questiim to determine in the opinion of this paper was whether the petitions have sufficient and legal number of bonalide signatures All other matters should be waived for the will of a sufficient and legal number of voters was legally determined and that was sufficient The action of the state officers should it be sustained by the supreme ocurts puts the Demoracy in an unfortunate predicament in the coming campaign for the newspapers and leaders will not only have the administration to defend and the fitness of their candidate to urge but will be clothed with the additional task of defending what every fair minded person knows to be wrong in relation to the referendum procedure The democracy of Oklahoma is naturally In the majority and aside from being Just it can wel to be generous in dealing with (Molt ions in which the voter(' of the state feel so large an Interest The action of See-nary Cross and others looks like an attempt to take a small advantage of their authority and the action will not and does not meet with the approval of the people The merits of theTaylor election law will be lost sight of in the effort a required to defend the action of the officials who have placed the Democratic party in the attitude of being unfair and seeking to take advantage of the opposition with the enactment of a law governing elections No political 'party is strong enough to assume such an attitude in a state peopled with such Intelligent a citizenship as 'Oklahoma Political methods which prevail in States as Pennsylvania and South Carolina will not be countenanced in Oklahoma This state is Imade up of Americans who are thorioughly inibued with the spirit of patriotistn and fairness and they will not permit technicalities to stand between them and exact fairness It is not question of what the Republicans have done or would do when in control of the official machinery of the state but rather a question of what is fair and right "Even though the Taylor election law would give the party in power a temporary advantage In the selection of candidates such selection would be but temporgry and success too dearly bought Without discussing the merits or demerits of the the action of Secretary Cross in denying the petition for a referendum places the party in false attitude be- ore the people and lays it open to ausplicon that the Taylor law was passed for partisan advantage and with the intent of doing wrong (a its PUT THEM OUT That Is the Way to Dispose of Men Who Misuse Privilege $600 L15 B61 Rand lett A
