NEGROES KEPT
FROM POLLS
Fourteen Thousand Blacks Disfran
chised by Constitutional Amend
ment Adopted by Overwhelming
Majority State Is Democratic.
GUTHRIE, Okla., Aug. 3. Four
teen thousand negroes will be kept
from tho polls at the fall elections,
it is estimated, ns n result of the rat
ification at the primaries yesterday
of the constitutional amendment lim
iting the franchise. The amendment
is similar to tho famous "grand
father" clauses of the constitutions
of many southern states. It is be
lieved that thousands of negroes will
bo unable to comply with its pro
visions. The ratification of tho
amendment was the biggest question
in the elections. Retums today from
all Darts of Oklahoma are over
whelmingly in favor of the amend
ment. This is believed to indicate
thnt the fall elections will be won by
the Democrats. The Democrats fa
vored tho disfranchisement clause
and the Republicans opposed it.
The result of the primnry, it is do
clarcd, indicates thnt the Republi
cans aro nlreadj' outnumbered by the
Democrats and tho disfranchisement
of the negroes will take away a great
part of Republican strength, leav
ing the state more of a Democratic
stronghold than ever.
