A"Harmony in matters municipal and a

for which the leaders of the M License
and Citizens parties havs been earnestly
striving. received rude setback at the
convention last night, from which there
is no likelihood Of recovery until the diff
ference is thIeshed out at the polls.
Pursuant to official calls delegates
from each of the old parties gathered in
L. R. Fenlason's Office last evening to
hold their conventions to name candidates
for city offices, which the frame up" had
made identical all the way through.
Early in the game Mr.. Fenlason's Office
was found inadequate to contain the
crowd and adjournment was taken to
the High School Auditorium.
Chairman Evans Of the No-Lieense
party was presiding over an apparen tly
harmonious convention. delegations from
the different wards had been seated. the
resolutions committee had reported set
of ringing resolutions. reaffirming allegI-
anee to the No-License platform. express
ing approval Of the present city admins
tration in its sanitary efforts. etc.. when
an apparently innocent question from
Delegate Lawson Of the First Ward tied
up the proceedings and preeipitated a
squabble that would not down.
The sauabble was over the irregularity
of election of delegates in the Second
Ward. and the question was shifted to
the shoulders Of credentials committee
consisting Of Msssrs J. E. Lawson, R. M.
Pollock and William Green. After
lengthy consideration the majority on the
committes-ths two first named men,
0rs-repor.sd that they found the cleo
ton Of delegates in both Second and
Third Wards illegal. Mr.. Green's minor

celebration was truly unique. and such
as to delight the soul Of St Patrick in

Chicago theater goers put their
stamp of approval last season on The
Prince of Tonight" which will be seen
at the Gennett in the near future. It
ran for over 200 nights at the pretty
little Princess theater. Without doubt
it is the most extravagant production
within the memory of the present day
lovers of musical comedy. The cast
is headed by Henry Woodruff, late of
Brown of Harvard.' and other mem
bers are Miss Ruth PEBBLES, who was
last seen in King Dodo" Miss Peeb-
les has been in retirement for two
years, but the golden persuasion Of
Mr.. Singer has given her back to the
stage. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Herbert,
Jr., Miss Margaret Mcbride, Peter
Macarthur, Lew Lawson and Ed Beck
are also in the cast. The usual bunch
of pretty girls, for which all the Sing
err shows are noted, will be seen. The
scenic and electrical effects are said
to be the most expensive of any must
