it is suggested that
In every county and city in the
state Taft and II adley" clubs
should be formed and, II the num-
Der OF voters warrants, such a
club should be organized in each
township and ward.
Invitations TO memship should
be extended 70 ell voters who
favor the election Of To n for pres
ideut and Hadley for Governor
and who sign an application for
membership.
The usual form Of organization
should be followed by having a
President, Vice P Presidents and
Secretary. The by laws should
be as simple as maybe, to furnish
a guide as to the purposes Of the
organization, and provisions
should De made to make the clubs
active working factors in secur-
ing the largest possible number
Of members and TO aid in getting

SelS-FlOlO Shows
be GII n Rsd.

Mr.. Alan Rogers, the famous
southern critic, says;
When a man gets too old to.
take a day of when tho circus
comes 10 town il Is time for him
TO get busy with his will, or have
the doctor In TO overhaul his
liver. The man who does not
care for the sights and sounds OF
the sawdust arena is certainly
badly out Of joint somewhere.
This Sells loto circus is the
limit. The writer has never been
able to care very much for the
four ring show with elevated
stage and hippodrome attach
ment. How is one man to watch
four rings at once, keep tab on a
bicycle act on the elevated stage
and pick the winner Of the hippo
potamus race, at one and the
same time? This is not a safe
thing for the eyes, besides send
ing one away with the feeling
that he has missed something.
When you 90 TO the circus you
want TO see it all, and that is the
charm ofthe Sells Floto show.
From first TO last every act is
snappy and up-to- date, and you
can miss a bit Of it unless you
shut your eyes.
But the great hit of the long
program is the girl in Red" the
little lady who does the bareback
act. Her name is a mystery,
gentle reader, but she looks as if
it might be Mary or some other
old fashioned name. She is just
a fresh. unspoiled little girl, the
neatest, dantiest little girl that
ever wore fluffy skirts or jumped
through a hoop.
The old-timers sat up and took
notice when she danced into the
ring. In fact, one enthusiast ex-
pressed his feelings by sitting
up so straight he fell over back
wards. There are so many good
features in the Sells-Floto pro-
gram it is entirely worthy a visit
when it comes here on Tuesday.
