"The Wheel of Love"

The charm of the part of Jack Hartley assumed by Paul Gilmore in the new play, 'The Wheel of Love-" written for him by George y. Hobart is that there is nothing in it that is the least bit mawk- ishly sentimental, although the poor fel- low is terribly in love, and nothing taint- ed with affectation, although in the hands of another it might easily be bathed in pathos. The piece will be brought to the Jefferson theatre Saturday matinee and night.

Democratic National Committee, will
not be candidate to succeed him.
self and there must be chosen some
one in his place qualified to fill this
important and difficult position. We
know of no one so qualified in every
way for the Office In question as Sen
ator Thomas s. Martin, OF Virginia,
and we believe tie best interests OF
the Democratic party demand his
election to gil the vacancy which will
be caused by Mr., Taggart's retire
ment. Senator Martin is an organ
izer OF unexcelled ability and would
put new life into the party organiza-
ton. He possesses the confidence oil
all the various so-called elements OF
the party and would appeal particu-
larry to those known as the con-
seryatives. He is on good terms
with Mr.. Bryan, and as the latter Is
almost certain to be the nominee, it
is Important that the chairman
should man in harmony with
him. For &&se aRa many other
reasons this paper pames Senator
Martin to succeed Chairman Taggart.
