easy prognostication. Three rather able
and vigorous republicans are contest
ing for the nomination in opposition
to the democrats in that district, but
it would seem that there is NJ very
great prospect for the republicans
winning the victory in November, if
past performances are to be consid.
cred. Socialist gains in that district
have attracted attention.
Oklahoma Citys district is always
an interesting area. Congressman Joe
B. Thompson of Pauls Valley has no
opposition among the democrats.
There is a big field of republicans in
the running for that party nomination
however, and most of them are living
in Oklahoma City. 1t is believed by
many that with a strong Oklahoma
City republican in the race against a
democrat from any other section of
the district, the outcome might
readily be favorable TO the
republican. This is due to the
habit in Oklahoma City to push its
town builders to the front for the def
mite purpose of profiting as a civic
proposition from their places in pow
er. The heavy vote that was given to
John Fields, republican nominee for
governor, in this city two years ago as
compared with the small vote for the
democratic nominee is cited as an in
stance of the non partisan team work
of the local boomers.
Scott Ferris has no opposition with
in the democratic party in the sixth
district for the nomination. His oppO-
sition in the republican party seems
to be perfunctory.
Seventh is Socialist Stronghold.
Jim McClintic of the Hobart district
is opposed by one democrat Both the
republicans and socialists have candi-
dates in the field This district has
been pointed to as a possible socialist
stronghold but the recent registration,
so far as it has become known, does
not indicate any leaning this way to
the extent of justifying any alarm
among the democrats.
In the eighth district, Uncle Dick"
Morgan, republican. has no republi-
can opposition. Several democrats
have entered the lists for the nOmi-
nation of their party, but it is not
thought the chances are over bright
for any democratic victor in the
eighth.
In each OF the congressional dis
tricts the socialists have one man run
ming for the nomination. These men
were chosen by a primary election
conducted in a referendum sort of
way by mail, as were the socialists
who appear for nearly every place to
be filed in Oklahoma this year in

HOUSECLEANING is
GETTING ON WELL

FL Centro's hOusecleaning campaign
is proving very effective. According to
Inspector w. C. Cass, the city has al
ready expended more than $125 in
hauling away and disposing of the
rubbish collected from the lots, yards
and vacant lots in Ell Centro. The
teams are still busy hauling the rub
bish and it is expected several days
viii be required to complete the work
which was started in connection with
the fly determination campaign con
Quoted by the Chamber Of Commerce.
Enforcement of the garbage ordi-
nance IS being made by the city Off
Gals. Due notice has been served on
the public to comply with the ordi-
nance requiring closed metal garbage
cans and today is the final day of
grace. City Recorder r. &. Whitelaw
has been perusing the city ordinances
to ascertain the penalties that may
be imposed for violation and so that
justice may be meted out to those who
ere brought before him. According to
the inspector, those failing to obey the
garbage ordinance will be hailed be-
fore the city recorder this week to ex-
plain their reasons for not Observing
the provisions of the ordinance.

Peace Initiative
In Wilson's Hands

WASHINGTON, May 8.-That
President Wilson is taking steps tc
ascertain the desires of the severa
combatants in the European war is
very generally believed, though what
ever is being done is under the cloak
of absolute secrecy.
The suggestion that came from En-
peror William and the request from
the Pope that such action be taker
has made it possible for the president
to cause informal inquiries to be made
of the several powers, and has en-
abled him to do so without awakening
any antagonism to this country.
But there is no hope felt here that
anything can be accomplished along
this line at present. Germany is now
making one of the most terrible drives
Cf the entire war against the French
at Verdun, which is interpreted here
as an effort to make gains that will
give her stronger prestige in her ef-
forts to secure peace.
And yet General Joffre, who com
mands all the allied forces on the west
has held the British forces back from
an offensive movement, and fully a
million men stand ready in the reserve
to come to the front in case the Teu-
tons make gains that necessitate this
This situation does not warrant the
belief that anything like a victory
awaits the Germans, and barring that
the allies, it is believed, will fight out
the war to the bitter end

IMPORTANT WATER
POWER LEGISLATION

On May 3, at the convention held il
Washington, d. c., the National Con
servation Congress, by an oVerwhelm-
ing vote, endorsed the Shields Water
Power Bill, which passed the United
States Senate March 3, by a . to !
vote, and is now being considered by
the House.
The public at large, especially in
those sections not travcrsed by the
large navigable streams, hardly ap-
rreciateS the importance Of this legis-
lation, which opens up for development
Under suitable restrictions, the navi-
gable streams of the United States
subject to the direct control of the Sec
retary of War and the Water Boards
of the various states.
The bill is liberal enough in its terms
to invite the investment of capital and
will, doubtless, result in the develop
ment Of much cheap power, leading tc
the stablishment of those immense nj
trate factories, not possible except
where the cost of power is merely nom
inal, besides providing an abundance OF
power for all classes of manufacturing
purposes located many miles from the
rCwer plants.
Engineers estimate that there is co.
100000 horse power of natural energy
in the navigable streams of the United
States, of which nine-tenths is flowing
to waste. Senator Shields, of Tennessee
the father of the bill, believes that the
passage of this bill will be followed
by the early development of at least
100000 horse power, or volume
of electricity equal to that produced by
q coal consumption of 10O,0O0,0OO tons
per year, affecting a daily saving in
coal bills of $7O0,OOO.
California, today, is a pioneer state
in the rapid development Of hydro-elec-
trio power upon the smaller streams
of the state and leads in long distance
transmission, the use of electricity to
pumping for irrigation and the final
passage and approval of this bill mean
other and greater development Of the
resources Of the state.
Under the terms of this bill, permits
are granted for fifty years, after which
time the government may either extend
the original lease, make new grant,
or upon two years notice, may take
ever the property upon payment of its
fair value. 1t contains the most drastic
anti-monopoly claims, fully protecting
the rights of the people.

WILSON is DEFENDED

BERLIN, May S.-(Via London.)-
After figuratively taking the public's
breath away two weeks ago by dar-
ing article captioned "If / Were Will
son." Maximilian Harden today returns
to an exhaustive defense of President
Wilson, his policy and the entire Amer
lean standpoint.
In leader in the Zukunft, entitled
"The Real Wilson," Harden praises
President Wilson as a "man Of high
moral and high spiritual character of
whom we might be proud if he were
ours" What the writer characterlzes
as "lazy ignorance" is represented as
"chattering from the mantle OF
would-be patriotism when President
Wilson is assaied as he frequently
has been"
Harden follows with a brief sketch
Imperial Valley press., 1916-05-08

of President Wilson in which he
calls the president "a brave opponent
of evils and abuses" and alludes to
MIN as "actuated by love for his
people and possessed of the will to
lead them to the heights of his ideals
after they had gotten into the swamp
land"
Germany he adds "should be
ashamed of people who sIander him
because they have read calumny in
newspapers"
In all his controversies with Ger
many, says Harden, President Will
son has acted from absolute convic-
ton.
'Dare we measure by the standard
Of students squabble the com
plants of a great free nation, leo
by man Of the weight and impor-
tance of President Wilson," asks the
writer, off President Wilson after a
thorough invea litigation is convinced
that war-like acts Of Germany have
broken the laws of humanity? 1t
was not only his right but his duty
to talk with cleainess. He owes this
not as a duty to himself but to u.s.
According to the position Of Chan
cellor Van Bethman-Hollweg in the
present controversy. Harden says:
"The daring of the chancellor must
not approximate tnat of submarine
commander"
Harden next turns his guns on
Herr Van Heydebrang, conservative
leader on America in connection with
the Sussex note, characterizing the
attack as "sorrowful abuses in which
there is not a glimmer of statesman
snip"
