Won't Fuss With Socialists.

Oklahoma City, Oct 29.-The so
cialist election amendments which are
being boosted by Chairman Geissler
of the republican committee, are being
given some hard knocks by c. j. Bo-
cher the republican candidate for
state senator in the district composed
of Lincoln and Pottawatomie counties.
Mr. Bocher is an active republican,
and he does not hesitate to say
either in private conversation or in
speeches-that he is opposed to the
proposed socialist amendments and re-
CARDS them as vicious, and is not GO
ing to support them.
1t is understood that Walter Fergu
son of Cherokee, editor Of the Chero
kee Republican, republican candi-
date for senator in his district, is also
opposed to the socialist election laws,
but Walter is not saying a great deal,
because, while very fearless in criti-
cising democratic administrations,
Colonel Walter usually keeps pretty
close to the apron strings of all the
bosses Of the republican job.
An interesting political story was
heard last night of how the socialist
party in the seventh senatorial dis
trict made a bid to Judge Alger Mel
ton. chairman of the democratic state
committee. for the withdrawal OF the
democratic candidate in that district,
in order that Ferguson might be de-
feated beyond question. The demo
Gratis are in the minority in that dis
trict. The socialists sent emiSsaries
to the democratic committee. asking
that they use their influence in having
the democratic candidate withdraw
and throw the democratic strength to
the socialist candidate in order to
beat Ferguson. Judge Melton very
frankly told these emissaries that
while he would bend every energy TO
elect a democrat at any time. and in
any part OF the state. that he would
rather see republicans elected than
to lend the least possible assistance
in electing a socialist. The socialists
in the seventh district were playing
with the republicans for their support
in securing the adoption Of their so
cialist election laws, but were trying
TO get the democrats TO combine with
them to beat the republican candi.
dates. Another intsauce OF socialist
Inconsistency.
Chairman Geissler or ,.e republican
committee reluctantly admitted to a
newspaper man yesterday that in no
single case since the organization OF
the present state election board had
the party refused to appoint a man

and of the navy, which, taken togeth-
er, appear to show steadfast deter
mination on the part of our federal
government to have us prepared al
ways for effectual seli-defense, which
is a necessary condition of our ma
tional existence.
"Of course, the end of this war will
see US by far the most powerful ma
ton in the world, and if the policy
pointed out by Secretary Daniels is
pursued, we shall perhaps in the full
ness Of time become ourselves the
mistress of the seas without incur
ring hostility or attack from any ma
ton, and shall be the great factor
of preserving universal peace"
Commenting editorially on Mr..
Choate's letter, the editor of the Re-
view of Reviews says:
surely, there is no more approved
friend of international peace in our
country than the Hon Joseph II.
Choate. Read then, what he writes
in this number of the Review on our
need of efficient means of national
defense. He is in perfect agree
ment with what President Wilson has
set forth in his message to congress
of December s. For our part, Pres
ident Wilson's words seem statesman
like and noble. They are wholly
compatible with strict and efficient
attention to the business of getting
the best results out of the vast eX-
penditures for army and navy that
are met by the taxpayers"

cHoATE's TRIBUTE TO WILSON,
Republicans Praise OF President EN-
dorsed by Noted Editor.

Joseph II. Choate, ambassador to
Great Britain in the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations. an ex-
president of the American Bar Asso-
citation and long a leader of the
American bar, and leading Repub-
ican, writing in the Review Of Re
views for January, 1915, paid high
tribute to Wilson's administrations
policies growing out of the war. He
said:
"If we can maintain our neutrality
and keep out of this war and at the
same time prove ourselves friendly
to all nations engaged in it-as |
think we shall under the wise and
prudent conduct of President Wilson
the United States will, | believe,
not only be called into consultation
by the warning nations, when they
are no longer able to keep up the
fight, but will practically be able to
dictate terms of peace between them,
one Of which must, if possible, be an
effectual guarantee against any fu-
ture outbreak of the horrible spirit
of militarism which has caused the
present war.
"And | am encouraged in this be-
lief by reading the recent message
of President Wilson and the annual
reports of the secretaries of war
