ELECTION LAW ISSUE
Plan of Action to Contest
Results to BE Worked
Out Now.


Special to The World
NkLAIIOMA CITY, Nov. 19.-The
" session of the Republican state
central committee here Monday prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
that has been held for some time.
The real purpose OF the gathering
is to outline II plan of action in refer
ence to "A proposed contest in the fair
election law results.
However, there are other matters
that may be injected into the meet
irg. For some time there las been
cor siderable dissatisfaction about the
conduct Of Chairman Arthur Geissler.
II seems that he has been unable to
harmOnize some small factions exist
ing In the party since the McGraw-
Harris contest; and II Is reported
openly that the executive committee
Is not working in harmony with the
present chairman.
There has been some talk about John
y. Appleby causing row because he
was denoted from the state secretary
ship. and 1t is well known that he
tried to cause dissension at the last
committee meeting Just prior to the
election. II is not thought probable,
however that he will pSve to be fac
tor enough to cause any serious trou-
BILE. There are many members Of the
committee who will not stand for the
removal Of Mr.. Kneeland I'm favor Of
Mr.. Appleby and in case the matter
did come to clash, a third man will
be selected as secretary.
II is not altogether improbable that
there will be many members Of the
committee in Oklahoma city who Will
be open in their declaration that the
committee needs an entire reorgani-
zation including a new chairman, sec
retary and certain members Of the
executive committee.
While some members OF the com
mittee and other prominent Republic
ans who have the welfare of the party
at heart are already in oklahoma city
looking over the ground, there Is no
decided program laid out as yet, and
those here are urging party harmony.
