''Old Arkansaw' I. Next Wednesday.

"Old Arkansaw" by Fred Ray.
mond. author of the Missouri Girl,
opened for the week at the Coium-
bia theatre, to an audience that fill
ed the house to its capacity. The
play is one of those melodramas
that appeals to the audience and
tells story which holds the inter
est from start to finish. It is a tale
of the hills of Arkansas aud some
of the characters are exceedingly
droll aud amusing. John Rogers,
known as old Arkansas, has "a
stropg part and his interpretation q
of it was convincing. s.-#
Grace Gilmore, who plays "Sue''
is clever actress, and was a favor.
ite with the audience, Fam Hays,
the gawky Mary Tlocum, who dom
know nothin' and al1us did," is one
of the bright spots Of the play.
Clair Nicholson creates a charac-
ter which stands out in a class of
comedy by itself. Theatregoers

run and also to fill all vacancies which
may occur by death, resignation or other
causes
John James declined the nomination as
councilman and then the nominations of
Fred r. Davis and John F. Bennett were
made by reclamation.
Harry Joseph and John James were
sent out to find the candidates and to
produce them for a speech. Mr.. James
produced his man all right, but Joseph
fell down on his part of the job. Mr..
James brought into the hall Mr.. Ben
nett, who said that he was glad to have
been nominated; also that he hoped to be
elected.
When Mr. Bennett took his seat it was
announced that Mr. Sharp and Scott w
Anderson had been elected members of
the city committee. one of the other
candidates being Harry Joseph.
Major II. P. MytOn was elected chair

him: ]. A. Groesbeck, II. A. Mcmillan,

John Nicholson and Rosaltha Nye were
placed in nomination for the office of

Mr.. Nicholson withdrew in favor of Miss
Nye and she was chosen.
Meantime, Mr.. Davis had not yet shown
up, and suspicious looks were being cast
in the direction of Mr. Joseph. 81 may
have been mistaken" said Mr. Joseph,
but l surely thought 1 understood Mrs.
Davis to say that Mr.. Davis would be
here as soon as the necessary limitations

MATTER OF CONTROL.
Committee Rule Adds to Interest in
Second.

In the second ward convention, held in
the sixth ward meeting house, j. W. Cur
RE was nominated for the long term in
the city council and G. L. Davey for the
short term. Mr.. Currie received SO votes,
against 90 received by F. W. Price, and
Mr.. Davey beat John Ekman by a vote
of 70 against 49.
With these two placed as candidates for
the council and ]. ]. Meyers elected on
the credential committee. z. ]. EardIey
on the order Of business committee. b.
H. Clegg on the resolutions committee
and J. H Greenewald and w A Aubrey
elected to the city committee from the
ward, the fun started.
Charles COttrell. jr-, had been made
chairman of the convention.
With the elections out of the way a
motion was instantly put before the con-
VentiOn and seconded by half dozen
asking that a special precinct commit
tee be appointed to manage the campaign,
which should have power to appoint nom
inees to fill the places of candidates on
the city council ticket caused by the
resignation, death or disability Of either
of the two candidates elected.
The row was on in an instant
]. ]. Greenewald in an impassioned
speech accused L. ]. Wood. two years
ago Republican, of being a traitor to
the party and of having deceived his as
sOCidtes at that time CreeneWaId had
moved and seconded as a substitute that
the district chairman of the ward act
as campaign committee, as has hereto
fore been the custom in the second with
power to fill vacancies.
The motion had strong support and was
the excuse for more oratorical efforts oy
a dozen present. Suddenly Chairman
COttreI called for a vote on the SubSti-
tute and IL was lost after a standing
count. With the substituted out of the
way some one yelled question on the
original motion providing for the ap-
pointment of a special committee of five
to receive designations and other things
from the candidates elected. Chairman
COttrell was again equal to the occasion
and with three men on the floor asking
for the privilege of addressing the con-
vention on the motion, he called for a
vote. A dozen men yelled aye and the
noes came in pretty strong, though OBJ
viOusly only a few had voted Chairman
COttrell declared the ayes had it. and
committee was carried. Even after the
vote was taken and announced by the
chairman three or four were on the floor
loudly calling for the privilege of speak
ing to the motion. Chairman Cottrell put
the gag on them, declaring that there
was no motion before the convention to
be discussed. Then Chairman CottreH
named the special committee. Its mem
bers are L. E. Wiley, ]. H. Preece, N.
c. Christensen, E. C. Ashton and B. ID.

The chalrmen of the various district
committees protested violently against
the special committee, claiming that for

ed for the newly created committee and
that the move was not made in good
faith Their protests were unavailing.

EXCITEMENT OVER INTERVIEW.
DR.. PIummer Denies Story He Lacks
Hope of Republican Success.

The politicians were all excited yester-
day over the publication of an interview
in which Or. Charles G.. Plummer. pros
DeCtiVe Republican nominee for mayor,
vas quoted as saying:
II DO not think that any Republican in
tie city can win as mayor this year. It
will not be a question of winning with lie
If / accept the nomination"
The f. lends of DR.. Plummer knew Of bis
aversion for politics and they knew of his
distaSte for office holding. But they. and
especially his Republican friends, were
stunned by what seemed to be a frank an
ouncement from him that he regarded
the Republican cause as hopeless in Salt
Lake City this year. When asked last
night II he made the statement attributed
to him. DR.. Piummer said:
Il gave no interview for publication. /
have not yet decided whether or not
will accept the mayoralty nomination
Further than this DR.. PlummeT refused
to be quoted
"A man who has no confidence him
self can hardly expect to inspire conf
dence in others" said startled Republi-
can leader yesterday afternoon. IF Dr.
PlTmn!sr made that talk for publication
it would be mighty bad politics Cor the
Republican city convention to nominate
him"
Meanwhile DR. Plummer Is going Sc
renely on his way. It is barely probable
that today he will announce his deter
mination to decline the nomination. This
Will throw the Republican brothers high
into the air once more, but they could
hardly attain a greater altitude than they
reached yesterday afternoon and last
night.
