CONGRESSIONAL GOSSIP

The great national game of presi.
Dental politics is being played In
Washington for all 1t is worth. Taft
Hughes, Foraker, Fairbanks, Cannon
and Knox have their supporters and
earnest partisans scattered all the
way from the distinguished occupant
of the White House to the humblest
negro janitors at the Capitol. The
Democrats too are trying to play at
the game, but 1t is sorry spectacle
when compared to the great leaders
of the Republicans in their struggle
for supremacy. 1t is conceded even
by most of the Democrats in both
houses of congress that the man nom
mated by the Chicago Republican
convention will be the next President
| of the United States, SO that there
isn't great amount of interest in the
Democratic scrap just now. 1t is also
conceded by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike that no matter which of
the great Republican leaders is nomi-
mated he will make great president.
The 'Big Six" as it is called are all
able men and the country would be
safe in the hands of either. At this
time Taft is undoubtedly the strong
est man but there is a great combi-
nation arrayed against him. It is
conceded that Cannon will have Illi-
nois and some scattering votes from
other states, Fairbanks will have
Indiana and Knox will have Pennsyl-
vania and great many scattering
votes from New England States and |
possibly some from West Virginia. |
Since Hughes has come into the race
1t is practically conceded that he will |
have the great vote of New York.
Foraker will possibly be able to
divide Ohio with Taft, which will
nurt Taft's chances more than any
thing else. Leslie M. Shaw will
have Iowa If he wants 1t,
and LaFollette will have the delega-
ton from Wisconsin as we'll as scat
tering votes from Minnesota and the
Dakotas With the exception of La
Toilette it is the field against Taft,
and while he will have practically
he solid South in the convention as
we'll as a large vote from other states,
t Is hard to figure out how he can
De nominated with Indiana, Illinois,
owa, Pennsylvania and New York
'olidly against him. Of course, La
Toilette will throw his strength to /
Taft If he sees that there is no chance I

GROVELAND

OF late the Porterville people have
had the chance of listening to a
spirited exposition of religious ten
ants from two denominations, viz:
the Seventh-day Adventists and the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
Jan. 26th, Sunday evening, Rev.
Oliver spoke to large congregation
of the Groveland and Porterville peo-
pie, at Porterville school house. After
the usual preliminaries, Rev. Oliver
presented in mastery and spirited
manner some of his beliefs and copi-
ously substanciating the same with
scriptural references. In referring to
the ten commandments he showed
that the Sabbath Day or Seventh Day
which was instituted in the beginning
by the Lord (Gen. 1929 and recon-
firmed on Mt. Sinai lex 20:8-11) as
day of rest, was not being observed
by the Christians in general. Timely
remarks on profanity accompanied by
references were made. The complete
destruction of the wicked was empha-
sized. (Mat. 4 Chap Next reference
was made to polygamy as the height
OF immortality, Jacob being referred
to as an example of weakness.
Pre-existance as believed in by the
Mormons was considered groundless
and inconsistent with the scripture.
Christ only had pre-existence.
Elder James E. Chapman announc-
ed that Monday evening the Plan of
as instituted by God would

What Women Will Do.

Harry Jackson's latest success, as
presented by the Holden Bros. & Ed
wards company is considered the best
melodrama now playing at popular
prices, and bids fair to do a big bust,
ness at the Armory, Monday, Feb.
18th Both press and public
throughout the country agree that it
contains more heart interest, stirring
climaxes, and better scenic effects
than any drama produced this sea-
son. 1t is easy to understand this
when one takes into consideration
that Mr.. Harry Jackson, the author
chose for his subjects the best char
acters and strongest situations con-
tanned in Charles Dickens great
story, David Copperfield. BY adding
to these some novel ideas of his own
has manufactured a play far above
the average. Among the many nov
elites introduced may be mentioned
the great shipwreck scene, the hand
to hand fight in the storm, the old
ship turned upside down on the
beach where dwells the famous old
Peggotty family, and the village
in winter, in which scene
is introduced the greatest dramatic
situation ever achieved by two wo-
men characters, viz: Rosa Dartle and
Emily. The play abounds in beauti-
full situations and stirring climaxes.
and the patrons of the Armory will
no doubt enjoy the Dickens play

day evening and from the enthusiasm
shown the play evidently made good
with the majority at least and the
general expression of satisfaction
heard on every hand as we made our
way to the door would indicate that
the larger portion of the audience
We're highly pleased with the even
ing's entertainment.
Harry J. Jackson, as Jim Saxon
the Sheriff, won a home with every
one, from the gallery gods to the
usual occupants of the front row,
from the minute he stepped on the
stage until the curtain went down
on the last act. Every line he utter
ed rang true, and pleasing person
atty very materially increased the
favorable impression of the audience.
1t was the usual story or love, the
villain, and the hero always on hand
at the proper moment; but then,
that Is just what we went to see, and
we certainly got what we were look
ing for.
Taken as whole Big Hearted
jim was very creditable perform
ance of the usual western melo-
drama.
There seems to have been slight
discrepancy between the cast of char
acters as they appeared on the stage
and on the program. The latter
seemed to be in the majority. Prob
ably those not accounted for missed
the train at the last show town. But
at any rate, that portion which did
appear gave us a good performance,
and we did not miss the absent ones.

hope of being re-nominated as vice
