AAKER TALKS
ON POL ITICS
He Feels the Other Candidates VIII
Not Be in the Race for 9
Minute.

u With Mayor Wall out Of the city on
business trip, everything is quiet q /
municipal campaign affairs. Consider
able work IS being done by candidates
for aldermen but nothing startling is
anticipated until the mayor returns 10
the citv. His friends expect that at
that time he will definitely announce his
intention in the forthcoming campaign.
HI III. Aaker continues to be pleased
with the situation and eS- S-Nayor John
sons contagious smile is common on the
streets just now. N
Mr.. Aaker issued statement this
morning to the effect that he had secur-
ed the support of many prominent b,isi-
ness men and the five pastors of the
leading congregations in the city.
My candidacy for mayor meets with.
unlocked for favor said Mr.. Aaker.
Prominent business men have come
to my office to. sign my petition and
to assure me OF their support. Business
men up and down Broadway have ex-s
pressed themselves pleased for an OPP
portunity to cast their vote Tor clean
city. Five pastors of leading congrega-s
tions have congratulated me on my can
didacy and offered their vote and active {
support. Three other pastors and their
congregations were among the most ac-
tive iii the work of the enforcement
league and consequently will line up for
reform. This gives the reform forces
| "a certain definite following that can be
Icounted on.
Mr., Aaker apparently does not expect
Ia third candidate to appear IN the tleld.
He has sized up ex- Mayor Johnsoil's
strength and pays no attention to the per-
sistent report that, if Mayor Wall does
not consent to make the race, another
candidate will be forthcoming.

The season ticket sale OF seats for the
engagement OF Henry w. Saveges COM
bined "Parsifal" and English Grand
Opera company in Omaha will be filled be-
ginning today These are to be mail orders
only. The opportunity to hear Wagner's
great Nibelungen ring drama Of THE
Valkyrie has awakened the most eager
interest among all classes OF music lovers.
For the last ten days mail orders with
checks for opera parties have been heavier
than they were for 'Parsifar' last season.
Mr.. Savage's plan to translate to the
American stage the first of the Nibelungen
ring dramas was the natural outgrowth of
his notable success last year with "Parsi-
fall" and there can be no doubt but that
its presentation in an English form will be
up to the standard established with the
production of Wagners sacred festival
play.
Mr.. Savage this season will introduce
host of new primo donnas, including
Margaret Crawford. Claude Albright OF the
"Parsifal" company, Nine. Martha Miner
and, notably, Miss Florence Easton, the
colorature singer of the famous Moody
Manners London Grand Opera company
whose Mimi in LA Boheme'' has made
her one Of the most talked about prima
donnas with the company.
The brilliant soprano, Nine. Martha
Miner, now appearing for the first time In
America, and who sings Marguerite in
Faust" is another fine acquisition to the
native prima donna forces. The addition
Of Francis Maclennan, Ottley Cranston and
Robert Kent Parker, together with Helen
Petre and Elsa Vandervoort, all of the
'Parsifal' company, has greatly strength
ened the Wagnerian forces. OF last year
favorite artists there viii still be heard
Gertrude Rennyson Rita Newman Joseph
Sheehan, William Wegener, Winfred Con,
Arthur Deane and Harrison Bennett. The
same magnificent choral and scenic effects
will be in evidence in all of the operas that
distinguished the 'Parsifal" production last
year.
The engagement opens Friday night,
March q, with Ia Boheme," with
Faust" at the Saturday matinee and THE
