Mr.. Miron does. or did own

with being landed proprietor and head

a decade the basso thus advertised his

an article on press agents. in which he
tells of few OF the expedients at which

several daring plans suco sssfully carried
out. but does not allude to one device for
increasing business that has come in vogue
among the small repertoire companies.
This device may be classed as the stage
wedding trick" The method of procedure
is very simple. A manager. whose receipts
have not been up TO the accustomed mark
discovers that his organization includes
two persons who, for several months, have
been sitting out their waits together. He
then interviews them. and the result is
the announcement OF ceremony after the
last act Of his play. Invitations. in the
form Of seat coupons. are sold at regular
rates and usually. after the minister's fee

strange elevation above the common
people by refusing-as president-to

Yates Compulsory In ran aer's Control.

AIee In IcT CONTROL
Judge Richard Yates, republican
candidate for governor of the state of
Illinois, has surrendered to the Tan
ner faction of his party. This was
foreshadowed several weeks ago in
several OF his speeches, in which he
declared the Tanner administration 9
model, and he even took some trouble
to approve Il IN detail. Now 1t is an
nounced on authority that he and
Gov. Tanner will Jointly open the re-
publican campaign in Chicago. Tney
will speak from the same stand and
he will thus, in the most public man
ner possible. indorse the Tanner pol
icy in state affairs and pledge himself
to continuance of that policy should
he be elected.
MIR. Yates began his campaign for
the nomination for governor as an
anti Tanner candidate, and had he at
that time announced that he would
fassume his present position he would
not have controlled the delegate on
from his home county. Indeed. 1t was
less his own popularity in Morgan
county than Tanners unpopularity
which enabled him to defeat Charley
Rannells in the county primaries.
Everywhere his campaign was made
on the cry, anything to beat Tan
ner."
In the state convention much Of the
Tanner strength was thrown to him.
and democrats claimed at the time
that before this was done he was
compelled to give a solemn promise
to become Tanners political servant.
Whether or not this promise was ex-
acted and given, Mr.. Yates has &C
knowledged Tanner as his boss. and
the governor has accepted his SUBJ
mission and will direct his campaign
as he will direct his administration
should he be elected.
This action Of Mr.. Yates is a great
disappointment to his friends, who.
while admitting that he lacked abil-
lily, claimed that If elected he would
give the people a clean administra-
ton.
