hand, fact that candidates them
selves all seem to recognize.
The candidates, all except our good
Judge Powell expressed themselves as
highly in favor of a double primary
for the selection of officers from Gov
ernor to constable, which, we are
proud to say, seemed to meet the
appreciation of the multitude present
On our way home we heard some of
Judge Powell's warmest friends ex-
press regret that he failed to define
himself on this important question;
but it is, perhaps, due the Judge to say
that he is a member of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, which meets on
the 9th of April to decide this question,
and it will be time enough then for
him to speak out.
The candidates, with one accord, ex-
pressed themselves in favor of a new
capitol building. But Speaker McCool
said in the event the State failed to
build, he was willing to risk his life in
the old one for four years. Judge
Powell said if he were permitted to
serve the State as Governor for four
years, and witness the going up of a
new capitol during his administration,
like Simeon of old he would say, "Now,
Lord, let thy servant depart in peace,
for mine eyes have beheld the glory of
the Lord" OF course he quoted from
Hezekiah, lst chapter and 10 verse,
and not from Luke I'd chapter and
$3.50 verse, as he no doubt intended.
Promptly at 2 p. m., Hon. John NJ
Allen opened the ba(w)l and for one
hour he sailed into the Presidents
Philippine policy and Gov, McLaurin's
administration. There were no Fill
ipinos present, but if we are not de-
ceived, John went from that meeting
with the fact indelibly impressed on
his great mind that Gov. McLaurin
was there. For saying funny things,
John Allen is world beater, and if he
ever comes this way with his tree show
we will go and take wife and all 8
of our children. We suggest, however,
that Mr.. Aliens friends put him under
better control, as he seems to grow a
bit furious occasionally.
The forenoon speeches were all on
very dignified plain, but when Private
John Allen and Gov. McLaurin locked
horns we began to be impressed that
we were sure enough in a political
meeting, "right."
Being too feeble to stand, GOV. Nc
Laurin made chair speech, but an
occasional strain of eloquence would
creep over him, and seemingly uncon-
sciously on his part he would spring
to his feet. Mr.. Allen charged Gov.
McLaurin with laying plans and work
ing to become Senator, and we thought
if John is not doing the same thing we
have misinterpeted his remarks. The
Governor is charged with an abuse of
the pardoning power, to which he re-
piled, that if in this regard he had
sinned, thank God it was on the side
of mercy.
In all seriousness, we would advise
the two aforesaid gentlemen not to let
the sun go down on their wrath again
as they aid at Winona, or else matters
might take : serious turn before the
end of the camp-;gn.
The aftern~c serrfce was inter-
spersed with am hours speech from
Hon John Sharp Williams, in which

vices at the Presbyterian church,
which we're attended by mem bers
Of Canon City Commandery No.

the congregation and especially SO
to mem bers of the Masonic frater-
nifty.
Rev. Sir Knight Berger's ad-
dress was strong plea for true
knighthood on the part of those
who wear the cross and insignia
of the order of knights Templar.
He wildly pictured the birth,
crucitixion, resurrection and as
cension of Jesus Christ, dwelling
upon the pathetic and dramatic
sides of the story. He told of the
founding of the order of Knights
Templar in the Crusades, and then
pictured in manner best appre-
oiated by the initiated the strug-
giles of the seeker after light as
'xemplitied in Masonic work.
The speaker declared that the
lays of chivalry are not past, but
there is cause for true knight er-
rantry in these days. There are
times" he said, when it takes
greater courage TO speak the truth

Special music for the occasion

The Spider and the Fly" the
first and only big spectacular bur
lesque production. 1t has been
several years since M. B. Leavitt' S
extravaganza visited the west, dur
ing which time it has been held
in popular esteem by the playgo-
ing public. Already there lis a
big demand for seats, and the
opening is assured of having n
bumper house. Forty people are
required for the production, and
many novelties, high-class special
ties and up-to-date melodies are
promised. Like all spectacular
plays, there is an ever-varying
series of pictures, in which shape
ly girls dance or march on the
stage, sing, pose aud melt away
again into the wings, to give place
to other entertaining features.
Scenically The Spider and the
Fly" has always ranked with the
best of productions, the coral

transformation scene being par
ticularly remem bered for their
striking beauty.

FUNsToN's GLORY.

the people of the United States

attempts to stem the tide of popu-

pears the following quotations:
Funston won with a dash. The
American people give him more
credit for swimming the Bagbag
than they do the officers who plan

for months. Funston is IA brav,
man, dasbing, enthusiastic sol
dier and no one wishes TO reduce
the laural wreath with which the
people of America have crowned
him. But war is not all swim
