SUBMIT NAMES FOR
ELECTION OFFICERS
Is suggestion of Republican state
Chairman Arthur IL.
Gcisslcr
Special TO The World.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 12. -
Every Republican county committee
In the state which has not already
done so will immediately submit to
their respective county election
boards the names of three Republi-
cans for the positions of inspector,
Judge and clerk. respectively, on each
precinct election board. If the sug-
gestions contained in a letter sent out
to Republican county chairman by
State Chairman Arthur ii. Geissler
are followed. The Republicans are
planning the most aggressive cam
paign ever engaged in in this state, ac-
cording to their leaders. and as one or
the preliminary steps to TINS cam
paign they will Insist upon their right
under the law to name at least one
member of each precinct election
board.
Mr.. Geissler's letter calls attention
to the fact that the statute provides
that the Republican committee may
submit as many as five names Tor
every precinct. and it Is his sugges-
ton that at least three names be
submitted for each precinct WITH the
request that the county election board
appoint the first named as inspector,
the second named as judge ana the
| third one MS clerk. While II Is
exDe cted that but one Republican will
be named, the Republicans will in
this way have named a man for each
position and under the law at least
one of the men so RECOMMENDED
must be named. This insures Re-
publican of the poity's choice being
placed upon the board.
The Republicans expect to insist up
on their right to name their own rep
resentative. according to Mr.. Cess
Ter. and in his letter he says: tine
state election board has assured me
that every county election board will
be expected to heed the recommend
alton made. in the premises. by the To-
cal Republican committee. III your
county election board should fail to
| do this let me knew"

MUST FILE TODAY
IN ORDER TO RUN
So Far No Candidates for
Board of Education
Offices.

Candidates for the board Of educa-
ton. who wish to qualify for the an
nual election this year. must file their
applications at the office of the city
auditor today, as the records will
be closed tonight. Up to this time
there have been no applications filed
for any Of the offices.
The primary is scheduled to be held
next Tuesday. but If not more than
two file for each position, no primary
will be necessary. as the nature of this
preliminary is merely to narrow the
field to two candidates.
The election will be held the third
Tuesday of next month.
The places to be filled are those now
occupied by A. A. Bumgarner, o. II. p.
Mcdowell and II. ID. Mason, being dis
rectors Nos. 5, 2 and 4 respectively.
The numbers have nothing to do with
precincts, as all members are elected
at large.
The other members of the board
will retain their places, having been
elected at different times. An cleo
ton Is held every year, when two or
three are chosen. Directors serve
three years. Ray Fellows and Ralph
Lockwood were the members elected
last year.

SEEKING STOCKS FROM TREES.
Norway Looking to This Country for
Assistance.

In the potato and Indian corn
America has furnished the world with
plants whose crops, now grown on
eveyr continent and in nearly every
zone from north temperate to south
temperate, are worth annually hum
dreds of millions of dollars. But in
the matter of tree crops this continent
has been the beneficiary of the other
great land areas of the world rather
than the benefactor. Officials of the
United States forestry service are
therefore greatly interested in an ex-
pedition to secure forest stock from
our Pacific coast which 1t is planned
to send this year to Norway, one Of
the countries noted for its forests and
forest products.
The plan has been evolved by the
Norwegian west coast trial station"
whose object is to increase the num-
Der Of different varieties of confer
Gus trees on the west coast OF the
country. This territory now supports
but two or three of the four hundred
known varieties OF conifers, 1t is said.
and the members of the organization
believe that many others will thrive
there.
The forest service will extend all
possible aid to the members of the
visiting party when they reach this
country. The NOrwegians, however,
know pretty much which of our forest
trees they want. They have made a
comparative study OF climates and
have found that the weather condi-
tons Of their west coast are most
nearly like those of the state of
Washington. They. are. therefore.
most interested in two trees growing
there-the Douglas fir. from which
the United States produces more lum-
Der than from any other single species
and the Sitka spruce. also among our
most valuable lumber sources.
Both of thees trees. as n matter Of
fact, have been tested in the last few
years on the Norwegian west coast
and have grown well. In the same
period conifers from Germany. Aus
tria, Siberia and other countries have
been tested. but because OF marked
differences between their native cli-
mates and that of Norway they have
not thrived. 1t is because these COM
parative tests have pointed so plainly
to America as the best source Of new
stock that the Norwegians are coming
here to carry out their novel project,
which practically amounts to the ex-
portation Of forests.--Washingt ton
