SUFFRAGE IN DISTRICT,
CRY OF DEMOCRATS

Speeches praising William Jennings
bryan and speeches declaring that the
citizens Of the District should be given
the right OF suffrage were the features
of the meeting of the Democratic Asso-
citation of the District Of Columbia in
the Munsey building last night.
Representative Robert Lamar, Of Mis-
souri,, put himself on record as deplor-
ing the lack of suffrage right I'm the
District, and as being confident that
Bryan will be nominated in Denver
will be elected, and will make a fine
president. President Newman, Of the
association, followed this up with the
statement that nearly all the States Of
tie Union are for Bryan for the nomi-
nation.
Louis p Shoemaker spoke at length
on the poor form of government in the
District. He said he could see no rea-
son why the suffrage should be denied
TO the people Of the National Capital.
Othes speakers were Barry Buckley and
Charles s. Benton.

as finely attuned a gentleman,
in the big broad sense, that it
has ever been my good fortune
to meet. He was cultured
quiet, self contained, and with
that touch of ditfidence, almost
amounting to shyness, which is
always, or nearly always, found
in a man of breeding for the man
imbued with true politeness never
gives offense, and a sensitive ma
ture is always diffident.
Robson's chief plant was that
he could not play tragedy; for he
loved tragedy. Nature has un-
fitted me- he said, lin two re-
spects,-voice and physique. l
might combat either one; but l
cannot successfully fight both. A

ach, or something that is just as
sure. Naturally, I'm irritable,
terribly so, and say things and
do things that l shouldn't. There
isn't a chorus girl in the bunch who
doesn't hate me thoroughly-be
cause I've given her reasons to do
so. Some one gets in my road
when I'm coming off stage, and l
explode, because I'm irritable.
The second after I've said the mean
thing, I'm sorry and want to apollo
gize. Then think, What the use
of apologizing? I'll be dead soon.
and whether | have the good will
of folks, or their enmity, what's
the odds? So l don't apologize
and another enemy is added to the
list. l really think that more per-
sons actually detest me than any
other man on the stage to-day; but
l can't help it. l can't go up to
every blessed one of them, and say.
I'm dying, and the pain in my
stomach makes me irritable; SO
forgive me- l can't say it; for |

rather have their hate than their
pity!"

then he told this little story of
Dion Boucicault:

Dion Boucicault produced Belle
Lamar in New York over a score

first act the audience went almost
wild with delight. For five min

called before the curtain three or
four times. l was in the audience,

branches of art and of literature
we find the same modesty of opin

theater alcne does the man who
knows it all discourse most glibly
on ethics in plays and their con-
