OF the twenty-five vice presidents Of
the United States, Mr.. Roosevelt is
the ninth to be elected from New York.
The fact illustrates the influence, un-
der the electoral system, of the large
and doubtful states. Since 1875 the
Republican party has, except in two
elections, chosen its candidate for vice
president from New York. Moreover,
Mr.. Hobart, one OF the two exceptions,
lived only fifteen miles from New
York city, In New Jersey, another
doubtful state. The Democratic party
has chosen its candidate for President
from New York at six of the last nine

William Owen Cancels His Contract
With Otis Skinner and Will
Play Romeo.
MISS REYNOLDS D-AS JULIET
All Star Company Engaged for the Pro-
duction of Romeo ana Jul1et-Will
Be Given In Kenosha Sept. 2.

William Owen will not be seen with
Otis Skinner during the present
season, as the popular Kenosha actor
today sent letter cancel1ng his con-
tract with the manager of the big COM
pany. and early in September the old
William Owen company will start out
for another season on the road. Mr..
Owen had a splendid chance to break
into a metropolitan field with Mr..
Skinner, but he had been so strongly
bound by ties of association to his own
company that he decided at the last
moment to retire from Mr.. Skinner
company and remain free and at the
head of his own company OF players.
The players in the company are in
tensely loyal to Mr.. Owen, and his de-
terminat ton to become an actor man
ager has been hailed with delight by
them.
With the severing of the contract
Mr.. Owen and Mr.. Mcconnell at once
began work on an elaborate production
IF Romeo and Juliet which will be
used by the company during the COM
ing season. During the last three
seasons Mr.. Owen has not played
Romeo, and in many places he has
been requested to take up his favorite
role of Shakespeare. The new Owen
company will be a model one, the
members being picked from several
companies that have been with Mr..
Owen in the last few years. Miss
Reynolds will play Juliet while Mr..
Mcconnell will have congenial role
as the friar. Miss Margaret Ralph, of
Chicago, has been engaged to play the
nurse, and Robert Lee Allen, who is
regarded as one of the most promising
actors Wisconsin has ever produced,
has been engaged to play the part of
Peter.
The production will be staged in an
| elaborate manner, and Alfred Fuchs,
a famous scenic artist from Berlin, has
been imported to paint the special
scenery to be used in the production.
Mr.. Owen will personally manage his
own company during the coming sea-
| son.
The company will open in Kenosha
on September 2, and after short en-
eagement IN this city they will leave
for a tour of the principal cities of
Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas.
Before returning to their headquarters
in Kenosha they will play short en-
gagement in the larger Canadian
cities.
1t is probable that a number of
young Kenosha thespians will be
added to the company before it starts
upon the road.
