vOr of it or not. And then If a major
ity of the voters of the town wants
the bonds issued, they will be issued;
otherwise, not. So you are not voting
either for or against the bonds when
you vote for the Republican ticket.
You are simply voting for strong,
sensible, business like administration
of the business affairs of lola.
At the close of the Republican city
caucus OH last Thursday night a num-
Der of Democrats and other citizens
who were not satisfied with the ticket
that was nominated, remained and
held a caucus of their own. Mr.. w.
l.. Bartels was chosen chairman and
J. b. Goshorn secretary. and the fol-
lowing ticket was nominated: For
Mayor, ID. Ewart; for councilmen,
A. J. Fulton, G. w. Apple, William
Rosen berger. w. l.. Bartels and }. ID.
Arnett for police judge, II. Williams.
Mr.. Ewart was not present and had
no idea that his name was to be used,
but now that it is started will let it
go "for the fun of the thing" Mr..
Rosenberger failed TO see the fun in it
and SO filed a formal notice with the
city clerk that his name could not be
used. OF the four names that remain
one is Democrat, one POpulist, one
Republican and one a mugwump,
which is about as evenly divided as it
could be. The men who compose the
ticket are all right, but of course no.
body has the least expectation that
any of them will be elected, least of
all the candidates themselves. The
most that is expected is that it will
add little interest to what is usually
q dull and tame election.
The Band cleared a cool hundred
dollars out of their entertainment last
Friday and Saturday evenings. And
what is nearly as good. the show was
as much of success artistica'ly as it
was financially. The pathetic parts
were really pathetic, not ridiculous,
and the funny parts were really fun
ny, not merely absurd. And when
you have said that you great deal
for a play put on by amateurs.
"Young Mrs. WINTHROP" is one of
those highly emotional, dollhouse
society plays that we doubt if any
body really likes, unless it may be a
few of those who "enjoy right good
cry" And it is a play that is doubIy
painful unless it is well played;
That the house was crowed the sec
ond night as we'll as the first is proof
enough that it was well played. 1t is
hard to discriminate, but we think
that people talk rather more about
the way Will Brewster carried Offthe
part of the lawyer than about any of
the other men parts. And they have
a whole lot to say about Miss Esse as
Old Mrs. WINTHROP, and about Miss.
Jennings as Young Mrs. Winthrope,
and about Miss Harris as Mrs. Chef
wyn, and about Miss Richards as
Edith. Miss Harris is given special
credit for the excellent success with
which she carried on short notice the
part for which her sister, Miss Dollie,
was originally cast but was unable
to take on account of illness. We
wish the same people would give us
another show sometime, and make 1T
a roaring farce. 1t is so much pleas
anter to laugh than to weep.
Guthrie (Okldhond) State Capital:
OF the men on the floor it was said at
one time. in praise, by Senator Doom,
that Senator A. C. Scott was the Ulys-
ses and Senator Fegan the Achilles
of The senate. The tribute desired to
be paid Senator Scott was that he was
the wise advisor of the council.
Though Ulysses was no less fighter
than other Greeks in the seige of Troy,
his wisdom was so manifestly super
ior that he was declared to be under
the inspiration of a special deity.
Senator Scott was conceded by the
council, and it is no disparagement
to any other member, as the pains
taking, conscientious, scholarly mem.
