LOCAL POLITICS MIXED
Judge Green May Be APP
pointed Supreme Judge.

Woods county VIII be made register to
succeed r. A. Cameron. the present in
curlbent- From source absolutely re-
liable it is scertained that Judge A. r.
3IuseIler. of Perry is likely to be appoint
ed-if the proper recommendations have
any weight with the new president.
The Alva land Office affairs have at
tracted the attention Of the politicians
over the territory. Its history has been
changing owing to the political conditions
IN Woods county. It has been conceded
that Cameron, the present register, can
not be appointed again His friends. it
IS said, have given up hopes of his secur-
ing the position and are working along
other lines. Guy r. WEIGH, formerly OF
Ohio and z clerk in the land Office, has
aspired 10 be register. He is a personal
friend Of Congressman Grosvenor and
had the promise Of assistance from the
Ohio politicians Grosveror worked hard
Tor Welch, but the change in Ohio poll
tics, due to the death Of William Nc
1Iinley, played havoc with plans and if is
very unlikely that Welch VIII get an ap-
pointment as register. It VIII make little
difference, what changes are made, how
ever, for Welch VIII undoubtedly remain
3n his present position in the land Of
fee
A II. Geissler a prominent figure in
Woods county politics has often been
mentioned as a probable successor to
Cameron. Geissler has never been can
Iidate fer the position. He has business
interests in Woods county that would not
permit Of his being in the land Office. 1t
is the concensus Of opinion, however.
that the appointment would be satisfac-
tory, if it could come Ge.ssler's way.
When in Guthrie a few days ago. the
Woods county man was asked if he was
a candidate for the registership of the
Office. In reply he said: i am not a can
didate for the registership. ] have never
announced myself as a candidate, al
though some newspapers have SAID that
j have Deen securing endorsements for
the place. NY business is such that
could not well handle the place, were it
rendered ne"
Politics have been m such a condition
in Woods county that it seemed that no
man could be agreed on to succeed
Cameron Judge Afuseller is well known
over the territory and came TO Oklahoma
from Kansas. He was one Of the gov
eminent aIloting agents in the Wichita
country last spring and made good rec
ord ir his work. Some time ago. Judge
Nuseller was candidate for a land Office
appointment but the circumstances were
such that he could not secure it. The ap-
pointment of AIuseIler to the -Alva land
office would undoubtedly stir UP some
feeling among Woods county politicians,
not against AIuseIler, but because an out
side man secured the appointment Judge
AIuseller IS a man, however. who would
make the best Ct such a situation and in
the end have many close friends in
Woods county.
The Alva postofice situation is creating
some talk in Woods county political cir
cles. w. c. Douglas. the present incum-
bent. desires a reappointment He has
been in Guthrie number Of times TO
see Congressman Flynn on the subject
Of endorsement. There are other candi-
dates for the place, but capital city poll
ticians are inclined to believe that Frs
kline Snoddy win land the plum.
IT IS understood that Judge Green, Of
this city. is an active candidate for a
seat on the supreme bench to succeed
a. NtAEt 10 L. RAINIER Ul LilE r OAIll llAilldl
district Judge Green had a long confer
/ ence with Congressman Flynn a few days
ago and Immediately left for Topeka to
see the Kansas politicians. It has been
limited around that Hainer is not so sure
OF being reappointed as some of the other
Judges. in spite of the fact that he has
such q good list of endorsements. Judge
Green has many friends over Oklahoma
and Kansas and win make a formidable
opponent for any OF the jrdgeships.
SenatorFrank Gnlettes boom for the SUI
preme bench has not diminished any,
but on the contrary, seems TO be rapidly
forging TO the front. Senator Gnlett en-
phaucally denies the statement once
made that he had been in the territorial
legislature. Whether this IS an endorse
ment IN itself is not known. but Senator |
Cnett has plenty of friends who would /
like TO see him succeed.
