Elections of leaders in the senate
and house ran true to predictions.
Tom Simpson, the administration
candidate, was nominated^ at the
democratic caucus which had twenty-
four members present. This insures
his election. And George 13. Schwabe
was nominated for speaker of the
house without opposition i/i the re-
publican senate. His nomination is
equivalent to election.
The democratic insurgents, that
were rumored to number as many as
eight, dwindled to the deathless two,
Wallace and Fleming, when time for
caucus came. Republican unanimity
was created by trading committee-
ships.
Edwin Dabney will be the demo-
cratic minority leader in the house,
and W. A. Briggs will lead the re-
publican minority in the senate.
The Eighth legislature will begin I

The Leader today has six pages instead of the usual
eight.
The reason is that we are not yet certain that another
car of paper will arrive soon enough to enable us to run
the regular size paper every day meanwhile; therefore we
are economizing now.
A telegram from the mill received Tuesday morning
says that the new supply "should" reach us by January 12.
The first moment that certainty of receipt of ah addi-
tional supply of paper of double-page width permits it, we
will discontinue the use of the paper of single-page width
and again print eight pages. We hope that this will be
only a few days hence.
We have made the adjustments for temporary reduc-
tion from eight pages to six by contracting just as slightly
as possible the space allotted to news. We have, of course,
necessarily reduced the space devoted to other depart-
ments of the paper.
We invite-readers to comment upon the result and to
give us the benefit of their ideas as to how the paper can
be improved in any way.
EDITOR OKLAHOMA LEADER.
LONDON. Jan. 4.—(By U. P.) —
"Rule or misrule" in Ireland has
been put up to Irishmen by the
British government.
On the highest authority that was
the British attitude regarding the
home rule bill which is now a law. In
official circles it was stated the be-
lief exists that the Sinn Fein will
lect to recognize the bill and aid in
establishing an Irish government
with a parliament in the north and
another in the south, to be united
later through a council chosen
jointly*
It was declared the government
will make no effort to establish a
southern parliament but will turn
that function over to the people, lt
was pointed out. however, that anti-
Sinn Fein candidates already have
been announced. British officials be-
lieve the Sinn Fein will not be con-
tent to see the election go by default
but will present its own candidates.
Sinn Fein leaders "will not em-
brace the republican idea until de-
struction," one official put it.
"I look for them to abandon the
extreme role," he declared, and to
rally their followers and prevent a
solidly opposition parliament from
being selected.''
There will be no general with-
drawal of crown forces, this official
said. But the military and police
automatically will come under con-
trol of the Irish parliament since
that body will be charged with the
maintenance of order.
At the Irish office today Brigadier
General Strickland's announcement
of official reprisals was described.as
"perfectly Justifiable."
It was pointed out that under mar-
tial law the commanding officers
have power to raze cities if they de-
cide it is expedient.
"It is unnecessary that he have
the approval of superiors before tak-
ing steps of this sort," it was de-
clared.
Among British officials there is a
suspicion that Eamonn de Valera,
president of the "Irish republic" is
not adverse to the role of martyr,
but it was said no attempt will be
made to molest him if he is found
sincere in his willingness to do the
best thing for Ireland.
Government officials declared
they believed de Valera will be bet-
ter employed in lining up his follow-
ers to support the home rule thus far pany explained his concern had

CORK, Jan. 4.—Military officials

highly dissatisfied with the lack of
response to the order compellinfi

27.
Court-martial of men accused of
ignoring the order have been started
but there have been no verdicts.
In Note Defeated Empire
Says Most of Munitions
Were Destroyed.
BERLIN, Jan. 4.—Germany can't
surrender all the arms demanded by
the allies because sh* destroyed
them, the government explained to-
day in answer to France's note on
disarmament.
Self defense organizations have
been disarmed, the note said, or they
will have been disarmed by the end
of the month. "Special conrttttons"
prevented stripping of the civil
guard of East Prussia and Bavaria,
it was claimed.
LONDON. Jan. 4.—It was semi-
officially reported here today that
the French and British general
".taff are in accord on the question
of German disarmament. The only
difference was Britain did not wiHh
to hurry the process, believing con-
ditions were not ripe for dissolving
the defense organization.
The British government was said
to hold that Germarfy was not al-
together responsible for the delay
in surrendering "big Berthas" and
new 77's.
CUBA'S P
HE THE
NITED STA
Intervention May Become
Necessary in Selection of
New President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—(By 1
P.)—United States Intervention I
Cuba depends largely on Gen. Enoch
H. Crowder, sent to the island by
President Wilson, officials indicated
today.
Crowder's trip, it was said, was
not a move toward intervention, but
is designed to make intervention un-
necessary.
State department officials, how-
ever, made no attempt today to con-
ceal their concern over the outcome
of Cuba's plight if an early agree-
ment is not reached on the question
"who was elected president."
Crowder first will attempt to pave
the way to an early decision on the
election disputes. The Cuban courts
are trying to decide the claims of
Jose Miguel Goinez, liberal presi-
dential candidate, that the national
party employed fraudulent measures
of electing Dr. Alfredo Zayas last
November, but have made no prog-
ress.
Officials said that if the new presi-
dent were not definitely chosen by
May 20, when Menocal's term expires
the situation would be critical as no
provision exists for an ad interim ad
ministration.
It is also expected that Crowder
will supervise in some degree the
bye-elections, which will be held
when the court decisions are
rendered.
If Crowder succeeds in untangling
the political fight he will then direct
his attention to the economic dis-
tress. No American bankers will
lend money to Cuba, it was pointed
out, until the political line-up be-
comes safe.
Representatives here of the Cuban
liberal party said today they believed
Crowder's appointment would insure
them "fair treatment."

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.—That two con-

the backers of a huge bootlegging
ring engaged in a million dollar bus-
iness was alleged in confessions of
several men under arrest here to-
day.
According to the confessions ob-
tained by Federal Prohibition Com-
missioner Frank D. Richardson, tho
two congressmen used their influ-
ence in obtaining the release of
several thousand barrels of whisky.
The ring, it was said, operated from
Chicago, New York and Jersey City.

With tin- signatures of Richardson
and eastern prohibition officers w vre
reported uncovered as well as a code
which members of the ring used to
communicate with each other. Tho
word "riot" was used in reference to
Riehardson; "flour'' meant distillery,
and "delay"' meant collector of In-
ternal revenue Harry Hager.
Two of the men under arrest wero
employes of a Now York private de-
tective agency. They gave their
names as John rostello and James
Shea, the latter said to be a partner
of Shea and Martiu, 1416 Broadway,
New York.
Papers found on the men con-
tained the mime of one of the con-
gressmen said to be a member of tho
ring.
Richardson plans to obtalfi war-

day. He has laid the facts before
United States Attorney Charles P.
Clyne. Clyne assigned two of his
ai-slstants to aid Richurdson.
Richardson declared profits of the
ring run into millions of dollars
and expressed the belief that fur-
ther arrests today will clear up the
source of the liquor supply which
has flooded New York and Chicago.
