Tile new Republican Senator from

into action IN The Senate early. He has
already started on his Senatorial career
by holding UP the confirmation Of GER

BradIey's action is the more interest

Commissioner Macfarland pointed out
that neither a bond issue or increased

ences with his dancing, while his
banjo selections called forth rounds
of applause.
Miss Hardie Langdon also pre-

the delighted crowds still continue
to call her back for more funny
songs and faces.

tonight which Manager Brinkman
promises you will be quite up to
their usual standard. Dick Bertram
