Jules hurry of New York, who Is maxi
ing the production, has way Of his
own of doing things and in the scenic
outfit he has given this new western
play he has set a new standard of ex-
cellence for the road. The first scene,
that of the ranch looking at II from
the east Is a study Of a luminous
dawn that gradually fades into sol
emn dusk. 1t Is vast In design and ac-
curate In fact. 1t is a stage shadow
of the every day work-a-day world
peopled with real persons in real activ-
tiles and actuated with real motives
and ideas. There is a breadth and
height to the landscape that are de-
lightful to see. 1t Is a new and he
roic departure in stagecraft and de-
serves the tremendous success that has
been showered upon it. Intelligence and
originality have brought us into nearer

Governor Dawson made known his

for governor, who are Secretary of
State Charles Wesley swisher, state
Auditor Arnold c, scherr and w. II.
Hearne.
He declares his earnest preference
for the candidacy OF swisher, and
gave some of his reasons therefor.
Governor Dawson's important pollt-
ical declaration was probably has
tened by repeated statements in Dem

Of the Republican press opposed to

BILL
RIGHT THING
Says Circuit Clerk Williams in
a Long But Careful
interview.
HE URGES ITS PASSAGE.
Goes Into Some Detail TO Show
Why Such a Law Should
Be in Vogue.
HE URGES ITS PASSAGE.

=
Perhaps, no bill 70 be introduced
at the special session OF the legisla-
ture win be more widely discussed
than the one to abolish the Zee sys-
tenn for county officials. and put them
on salary.
Circuit Clerk Homer w. Williams
was approached today ON the subject
and gave his endorsement to the pro-
posed policy.
Il believe" said ME- Williams, "the
legislature at its special session VIII
pass an act something similar to the
one introduced at its last session,
providing that all county officials be
paid a reasonable salary and. that the
fees collected be accounted for by
them to the state and county. The
party in the majority stands pledged
to pass the law. and that party boasts
that 1T keeps Its promises.
"of course, there is opposition and
there is already concerted EFFORT to
organize lobby for the purpose OF
defeating it. This opposition comes
from practically only one source.
Those who are in office and want to
remain, oppose it. These, with the
politicians whom they can enlist in
