to compel the board to call a special
election it will be necessary for the
petition to have 1715 signers, or forty
percent Of the vote cast for secretary
Of state.
1t is said the temperance people de-
sire to file the petition about June Is,
however the law allows them to file
within 10 days prior to the regular
meeting of the board. The next regu-
lar meeting of the board being July
II, they need not file until July 2.
Names may be taken from the
petition until the same is filed with
the auditor and after that no name
may be withdrawn. When such a
petition is presented it must be placed
before the board on the first day of its
session and the board must issue a
call for wet or dry election within
10 days after filing and said election
to be held not less than thirty days
nor more than sixty days thereafter.
In case the sufficient number Of
signers are secured it looks as though
the people of Idaho will have another
period of strife and turmoil which
usually proceeds an election sometime
between August II and Sept, Il.
The cost of the election will be
close to the cost of general election
which last year amounted to in the
neighborhood of four or five thousand
dollars.

"ST elmo" HERE
TOMORROW night
Neil Twomeys Dramatizaton of Miss
Evans Great Novel At
Auditorium.

Neil Twomey, who has dramaized
Augusta ]. Tvans' novel "St. Elmo,
set for himself no small task when he
set out to work over into stage form
the crowded incidents and dramatic
situations of the book. To make clear
to an audience in a theatre the char
acters and motives of the creatures of
an authors fancy, when deprived of
the authors privilege of explaining
length in the printed page those es-
sential characteristics which go to
make up rational human beings, is al
ways the stumbling block of the dram
atist when using material originated
by another. In a work like st. Ell
mo" the task is particularly exacting,
for the novel has enjoyed so wide
spread a popularity since it was writ
ten almost fifty years ago, that to
make any material change in charac-
ter or situation would be to offend
those to whom the works of Miss
Evans are classics.
1t is safe to say that no other ma
tive author ever commanded the at
tention of a more devoted following
than did Miss Evans. in proof whereof
it need only be pointed out that the
book today is as popular as it was
when new and that in spite of the
changing popular taste in literature.
EST. Elmo also is exceptionally rich
in descriptive scenes and lengthy
philosophical discussions, all of which
must of necessity be discarded In pre-
pairing the book for stage use
On behalf of Mr.. Twomey II il seid
that he has succeeded in writing n
faithfur dramatic version, free from
the faint of melodrama, and in every
way a dignified presentment of the
dramatic features of Miss Evans
work. Admirers of the famous south.
ern author will be interested in noting
how well the dramatist has done his
work. while to those for whom the
theatre is of no interest only so far
as 1t serves to amuse. play of great
dramatic value has been prepared and
expense has not been spared either in
scenic features or in securing a cast
of players who will intelligently inter
pref the work of both author and
dramatist, 1t will be seen on tomor-
row night at the Auditorium.
