for position, for leadership and for
the offices to he given to the few.
Harreld Besicgcd.
Senator Harreld naturally gets the
heavy end of the bombardment OF
those desiring place. The majority
ask for position but some of them
are following the old custom of
protesting against those who have
been mentioned as possibilities for
favor. Neither applicant nor
protestant appears to be modest in
explaining just what is wanted and
what can or can not be done.
Even democrats mix in these mat
ters. For instance, Judge Jean p.
Day Of oklahoma City. democrat,
telegraphed the senator that OKLA
homa wants only one ambossadorial
position. and that Venezuela. Judge
Day instructed the senator to notify
the president that this is all we need
abroad and that William Hayes
Fuller OF McAlester is the man de-
sired for ambassador.
This rather extraordinary matter
grew out OF the fact that the Wash
ington dispatches related that while
Arthur Geissler, former republican
state chairman. had failed in being
appointed AMBASSADOR 10 Mexico, II
was very probable that he would ho
given the post in Peru, and that Mr.,
Fuller would very probably be given
some other assignment.
Judge Day also declared that II
Geissler were appointed. he would
make a fight against his contirma
tion, on the grounds that he was
not a good American, a charge
made during the war when GeissleT
was deposed as chairman by the
combined efforts of Jim McGraw
Jake Hamon and others.
Nor was that all Of the democratic
pressure brought down-Sam Butler
Ardmore attorney, was mentioned as
"A possible appointce Tor attorney Of
the Chickasaw nation. The duties Of
the office are TO sign the pay roll
for 1000 per annum. The nation Is
actually all but out Of existence, but
there is some money left and attor'
neys and heads have TO be appointed
otherwise the Indians would get II
themselves.
Judge Day protests against But
Ter being appointed. In this last
instance he did not tell who to ap'
point In Buffers place-iust warns
! that the appointment must not bt
made.
