Warm Over IL.
one of the amusing political items
of the week is the discussion be-
tween the Chandler News -Publicist,
republican, and the McAlester
News-C Capital, democratic. T Z
former intimated that Arthur Gels
sler would be named for an am
hassadorship to some South Ameri-
can nation, ana the McAlester ed!-
tor entered protest, because
william Hayes Fuller of McAlester
Is a candidate and that editors
choice.
1t Is typical of Oklahoma politics,
democratic and republican. Neither
pf the gentlemen can win a place
without more than state assistance.
for such positions do not grow on
trees. 1t is understood that both
Mcssrs. Gcisslcr and Fuller have
been indorsod by the proper Okla
homa republicans and their future
success must be determined on how
much outside assistance they can
call to command, this applying TO
each alike.
Very certainly a fight started now
will add to the strength Of neither
man. but II does go to show that
we in Oklahoma have not ceased the

Dcyotcs Activity.
The fact that newspapers in the
northern section Of the state are an.
nouncing that Judge Milton c. Bar
her of Enid will be a candidate for
congress in the Eighth district de-
notes much future activity in that
republican stronghold. Owing to the
death Of Congressman Morgan last
year. after the time for filing had
occurred, two republicans have
served since his death, Charlie,
Swindall OF woodward being nom
mated and elected 10 fiji the uncx-
pired term, while Manuel Herricll
Of l"rry was the only candidate for
the long term among the .republi-
cans. He was elected and It has
been known that Mr.. Swindall has
aspirations for the next term.
Tn" district Is a long one stretched
across the entire northern boundary
OF the state from the western boun-
dary line of Usage county, extending
down two tiers OF the counties 10
the no mans land section and en-
hracing the three counties Of that
district Normally it has 5000 re.
publican plurality, and therefore the
man who is to take up the Morgan
place in the district has vet to
demonstrate his capacity. Enid IL by
far the major city Of the district and
has also a long list Of prominent re-
publicans, any of whom could be
recognized as OF cOngro ssional size.
Among the others of Enid. who
have been mentioned besides Judge
CARRIER, are w, c. HIS, Senator
Harry o. CHASER, Winfield Scott and
Everett Purcell.
Whether newspaper announce
Of Garber's candidacy means that
the other Enidians have decided he
is 10 make the trial for the next
nomination Is unknown, although II

ing that Purcell, who is editor OF the
Enid Events, is backing Judge Gar
her.
The latter was a district Judge at
the time Of statehood and later made
a determined fight to win the oh
First district away from Congressman
Bird Mcclure. He is mayor of Enid
