nails Election Series
It's Features.

-. The principal gathering to listen to cleo
ton returns last night was at the EXPOSE
ton building. A very entertaining vaude-
vile program filled the: intervals between
the significant fragments of election news
and kept the audience agreeably diverted
for hours. The audience numbered be-
tween 5000 and 4,c00, most Of whom ar
rived before 9 o'clock and were still in
their seats after IL. The building was not
deserted until after l o'clock.
The entertainment was given by T h e
J GU n a and was the most successful
Of it's series Of election night programs.
The attendance and evident enjoyment by
the audience of the arrangements for it's
comfort, amusement and political enlight
eminent demonstrated the public apprecia-
ton of the, efforts of the managers. =. =
The conspicuous. feature. Of the evening
was the, lhpst presentation of the new state
song, whose authorship had not previously
been announced. E. H. Ellsworths APP
propriate verses had been set to the mu-
sic Of the popular. and swinging TRAMP,
Tramp; Tramp, the Boys Are Marching"
familiar to every person in the audience.
The beauty Of the words was emphasized
by the singing of Miss Alberta Fisher,
whose clear, pure soprano rang out bell
like and melodious in its rolling periods.
Rossiters First Regiment orchestra
played the accompaniment. It was a
matter Of regret that through the indif-
ference of local musicians the large chorus
promised for the occasion was much re-
&duced and was unable to give the swelling
volume of music desired for the repeated
fefrain. - The song was sung second
time later in tha program with the au-
dience joining in the chorus and this gave
an impressive effect and revealed the pos
sibilities Of the song when the words be-
come more familiar.
T Spirited Music BY Band.
The program opened with several popu-
lar selections by the Journal Newsboy' 8
band, whose relocated musicians were
greeted with hearty applause as they
lined up on the great stage. Their snap
py, spirited music made a great hit and
started the evening gayly. The boys ap-
peared at intervals through the evening,
playing patriotic medley, selections
from King, Dodo," selections from THE
| Burgoma ster'' and "Our Director "Sixth
Battalion, :, r "Merrymakers, and others. :.
The election returns were thrown on a
screen and their reception indicated a
strong intel est in the results. The ap-
plause showed less political bias than a
tendency to get on the band wagon and
cheer the victors regardless of party in
terests. The portraits of Roosevelt, Var
SAINT and Haynes awoke the chief inter
pressed in Fletcher and Lind.
