POLITICAL GOSSIP
Republican fractional Strife
Causes Much Apprehension.

At Last Election 2S RSpubli-
cans Elected by 100 or Less.
Change of $50 Votes Might
Turn the Tide.

The danger that the Republicans may
lose control OF the lower house of the
legislature because of factional strife
within the party is by no means light
one. Although the Republicans had an
overwhelming majority in the house IN
the last session they won in many coun-
ties on narrow margins, and 1t would
take very small number of votes,
comparatively. to change the entire
complexion of the house.
1t is on the hope that the Republicans
may become so torn with d1ssenslons
within their party because of the con-
test over the United States senatorship
hat the fusionistS hope to elect SUI
hcient number to enable them to re-
elect Senator Harris, and If vigorous
campaign is made along that line, with
Senator Harris popularity, there is
danger to the success of the Republ1-
cans.
Twenty-eight Republican. members of
the last house were elected by MAORI
ties of less than 100. That means that a
change of less than so votes in each OF
these districts would put a fusion mem
ber in the place of a Republican or
course there are some short grass coun-
ties which have only a small vote in
which it would be more difficult to
change 80 votes than it would be to
change 100 in Il county with larger
vote. but there are enough counties IN
which a change of 60 or 70 is by no
means among the impossibilities. to off
set these. A change of 28 members from
the way the last house stood would
give the fusionists Il and the Republi-
cans "a.

three nights and Saturday matinee.
The plot of king Dodo," concerning the
silly notion of a foolish old monarch in
an imaginary land, who is looking for the
elixir of life, is probably we'll known to
theater-goers. The story is replete with
bright satire and wholesome humor and
the many opportunities afforded by the
book for funny climaxes have not been
overlooked. New lyrics and fresh en-
sembles have been interpolated since last
the opera was presented here, although
the stirring Amazon march and conspira-
tors chorus which occasioned so much
favorable comment are still intact.
Raymond Eitchcock's success in thetitle
role has entitled him to the distinction
of being Featured" In the production.
Cherdah Simpson as Piola, the soldier Of
voice displays a good quality Of vocal
strength. Her song in the first act, IN
Do or Die" is one Of the pretty musical
numbers Of the piece. Flora Zabelle, who
interprets the role Of Annette, has won
a high place among lyric players. Her

Not the most unimportant feature of
the present company is the large chorus
Of pretty girls. Under the stage direc-
