- Charles B. Moora, chairman of the
Republican state central committee, la
'the latest probable candidate for secre
tary of state. Mr. Moores says that he
has bean asked to make the race, and
that he Is considering: the advisability
of his doing- so, but that he has not yet
finally determined whether to set Into
the battle or to stay out.
i A great effort Is being made to in
dues some one to run against wen w.
-Olcott, present secretary of state. Gov
ernor Withycombe and his administra
tive forces are busy hunting the woods
for some one who will get out and
carry the administration banner.
For a long time Harvey Wells was
'groomed for, the contest, but after
Rooking over the field. Wells decided he
did not desire to submit himself to the
Strain, and Is now out of the running.

Then an attempt was made to per
suade B. L. Stevens to become a can

the idea and announced that he was
Intending to run for sheriff of Mult

He was promised that if he would get
Into the fight his campaign would be

He decided, however, that he would
'rather run for state treasurer two
years from now.
- Phil Metschan Jr. was next besieged,
and is still under fire. But Mr. Mets
chan believes that he hears the call of
Tils business more distinctly than the
'call of candidacy, and so is not going
to take-the plunge.
Old Users Ars Worried.
The spirits of the old liners, headed
by Governor Wlthycombe and the mem
bers of his cabinet, are much perturbed
because of the indications that Olcott
may go on the ballot without opposl-
, to such a pass it would give Olcott
.too much prestige.
t Those who are not actuated by the
. desire of the governor to have a work-

purpose of political appointments and
.removals, want to see some one go
out-and clean Olcott up on general old

yet lost and that a candidate will ap

I War a Mistake,
It Should End,
Writes Harden
German Censor Passes Article by
Noted Statesman Saying Error
Was Hade by AIL
London, April 4. (X. N. S.) A re
markable article by Maximilian
Harden, appealing for, an immediate
peace, lappears in Die Zukunft, accord
ing to an Amsterdam dispatch to the
Daily Express. It is especially inter
esting as it has been passed for pub
lication by the Berlin military censors.
Harden writes:
"In spite of almost uncountable vic
tories, in spite of the fact that our
land is free from the enemies' armies
and that we are occupying a big con
quered area, we think that war is a
cruel misfortune, the recurrence of
which must be prevented by all pos
sible means. Let us come to the con
clusion that the war was a mistake,
made not by on but by all. Let us
end It and organize peace."
MILITIA UNFIT, CLAIM
BORAH AND LODGE
DEBATING ARMY BILL
History of Militia Is One of
Disaster; Lodge Speaks for
Universal Service,
Washington, April 4.i (I. N. S.)
Denunciation of the proposed expendi
ture of from 160,000,000 to 76,000.000
annually on the militia was voiced
from the floor of the senate here today
by United States Senator Borah.
"The history of the militia, from the
Revolutionary war up to now," he said,
"is a story of disaster, defeat and hu
miliation. The people are going to de
mand more substantial preparedness
for their money. We must make every
dollar count. We cannot do that by
putting 300,000 civilians on the federal
payroll."
Borah recited the record of the mili
tia on strike duty, particularly the mi
litia of West Virginia, as evidence of
unfitness for service.
Party lines were obliterated in the
debate. The Republicans, with Sena
tor Borah leading, aligned themselves
with a faction of the Democrats in an
-effort to defeat the house army bill.
"The Hay bill as it came from the
house," said Senator Lodge, "is prac
tically worthless. The senate bill is
excellent as far as it goes, but it does
not go far enough. We ought to have
a regular army of XBO.OOO peace
strength. I believe in universal mili
tary training and the country must
come to it some day.
Senator Lodge furnished figures in
tended to show that during the Spanish-American
war 25 per cent of the
militiamen were rejected after physi
cal examination and that many of the
remainder failed to volunteer.

pected that it will further press the
campai gn.

his candidacy, on the Republican ticket,

framed and thoroughly considered laws
are sufficient to accomplish this pur
