doubtful, but probably Republican.
President Roosevelta told soue Of his
callers yesterday that New York would
probably give Taft 100000 plurality
and Hughes over 100000. He estf-
mates the plurality for Taft in Illinois
at upwards of 100000 and Ohio at Co.,
600. Indiana, which has been consid-
cred doubtful by many Republican
leaders will, he says, give from 10000
plurality upward for Taft and nc
claims Nebraska also by a plurality
Of 10000; Wisconsin by $4,000 and
Kansas by an Overwhelming Taft vote.

that one good method of advertising will be through a pamphlet which the board will prepare for general dis tribution throughout the United States and the world for that matter. The committee on the preparation of this matter is Johnson. Nielsen and Dickin- son. It will be filled with articles by different Tempe people on different subjects pertaining to this vicinity that will be of interest to the nonresident It is generally considered that nothing appeals more to the eye and speaks in stronger terms than pictures and il- lustrations. Figures may lie but pie lures don't and for this reason the pamphlet will be well illustrated. The committee on its preparation held an other meeting last evening when the subject was given still further cOnsid- eration.
 Another meeting of the directors will be held on the evening of the 23rd at 7:3O o'clock The temporary quarters of the board of trade will be the coun- cil chambers in the Daggs building.

A PLEASING PERFORMANCE
Given Here Friday and Saturday
 Evenings by Home Talent

The Home Drahlatic Company ad- mirably presented The Woman From
 Martinique" to well filled houses both on Friday and Saturday evenings, in the Mesa opera house, which we'll be- spoke the public's appreciation as well as the popularity of the young folks composing the cast. The play went off Swithout a single hitch, and those talk ing part were animated and enthused with the spirit of the drapia, and car ried the audience in rapt attention throughout the performance.
 John Riggs as General Burleigh. was well suited for the dignified head of the aristocratic family. Miss Vance. in the role of Nanette, the wife of the General, exhibited earnestness of pur- pose and much talent Both in the separation scene at the mansion and the one ct the bedside of the sick child, enacted by Mrs. Burleigh. were impressive. Myrl Richins, the little miss who impersonated Louise. the daughter, was demure and unaffected and did exceptionally we'll for one so young. Mrs. Allen was charming as the Vivacious and rich widow, Mrs. Dalroy. The house maid Kitty, in the person of Miss Alice Jones, brought forth much applause in her interesting courtship with her former admirer, Antonio Pittore, the expert swords man, played by Arnold Hawkins.
 Mont Vance. as John Middleton. the pouular mill superintendent. most adroitly paid shy attentions to the winsOme widow. Mrs. Dalroy. Milo Shill as Patrick Brannigan, recently over from the Green Isle. was typical and proved himself an adept at the art of love making as a suitor for the hand Of the pretty maid Kitty. He was rightly termed 'The Funny Man of the Evening" Guy w. Jones as Michael who assumed the role of the villain. was extremely clever in his denunciations. and delivered them in a truly contemptuous manner.

NORMAL LOST BOTH.
The University Got Yesterdays Game
 by Score of 4 to in Ten Innings.

It Is sad to relate but 1t is neverthe- less the truth that the Normal got skinned again yesterday by the Univer- sity. There is some slight consolation in the fact that the score yesterday was not quite so humiliating as the one the day before, being only to 2. On Friday there was a little excuse. It was Friday the 18th and the Normal had new uniforms, generally consider ed a hOodoo. It was fully expected, however, that the team would be able to throw off this hOOdoo yesterday. but it couldn't do it though it made one strenuous effort after anotber and it took ten innings to wind up the con test. With Aver in the box yesterday, there was simply no excuse for the Normal losing; it wasn't poor playing either that lost, just hard luck
 Both teams changed pitchers yester- day, Gillem taking the place of Hatch CT for the University and Aver taking Milletts place for the Normal. The game was called at 2:30, Pope umpir- ing. The University scored two runs at the start and it looked for a moment very much like a repetition of Fridays disaster. When the Normal went to bat, though, it looked brighter for one man got in. Things stopped right here. however for several innings and until the last of the fifth, not another man on either side saw the home plate only at a distance. Several times the Normal had a good chance to score but something always happened. In the fifth a wild throw by Gillem brought Normal man home and tied the score. IL looked more encouraging for the Normal than it had at any time in the previous twenty-four hours and hope sprang anew in the hearts of the rooters. Again though. everything came to a stand still and the teams sea-sawed back and forth, neither side being able to make a run. So passed the 9th inning and there was every in dication that the game might be pro- longed until dark. In the first half of the tenth the University took a brace and got in two runs before the side was retired. The Normal went to bat knowing that it was do or die and it was die. One man got as far as first and that was all. The final score was 4 to 2 in favor of the visitors. Never
 
 the most exciting that has been played on the Normal grounds this year. The Normal lost to worthy ana gentlemenly opponents and will have chance next week to retrieve it's lost fortune or add to it. which ever the case may be. 1
 The University team will leave this | for Prescott where it plays three games the coming week. The | team is taking q week off and is fully 1 enjoying the change. Returning from | Prescott Thursday afternoon the team ! will go on home and will be accom- | panied to Tucson by the Normal team | and bunch of rooters. For this trip | leaving Thursday evening and return | ing Sunday morning a special rate of | $6 is being made for the round trip | and it is hoped Tempe will turn out a | good sized party.

MORE ENCOURAGEMENT NEEDED

Headquarters have at last been ob- tained in the Armory Hall. located in the Pomeroy Block for the Mesa Band. This hall will be used by the members for practice, and will provide ample room for that purpose. However. the band stands greatly in need of more instruments, and in order to secure these. it is necessary for it to be more liberally supported by the merchants and business men of the city. With what practice and drilling the members have had under the direction of their leader. Thomas Mitchell. they have certainly done very creditably, but un- less more interest k manifested in the day of support, it is feared that Mesa's effort to be provided with a band will fail. A public manifestation of ap- preciation of this in the way of finan- cial support is greatly needed.
