ELK|NS LIKELY TO
BE PARTY LEADER
In United States Senate When
AIdrich and Others Retire.
10 NOMINATE CONGRESSMAN

BY Primary Election is Almost Ger
TAN, in the Second District-The Re
publican Congressional Committee
Will Meet at Keyser Today One
Week, and 1t is Said a Majority
Favor This Procedure.
Washington, ID. c., April 21-West
Virginia is especially interested in the
news that Senator Aldrich, Hale and
Others will retire at the end Of their
present terms, for the reason that
Senator Blkins will be among those
who are next in line for the Republi-
4san leadership in the Senate.
Whether, with the retirement Of Sen
x,tor Aldrich, who has been, so far as
guidance and control of legislation Is
concerned, the Joe Cannon of the
Senate. will result in a different form
of control over legislation or merely
a e leader is being discussed here
generally, and opinion differs.
Should the old form of having a
9eader prevail, Senator Elkins will as
suredly be among the eligibles for the
place and his selection would not be
a surprise. He is serving he six
deenth year as senator, has been for
years at the head or near the head
of some of the most important com.
xnittees and in spite of threats has
aeyer ~strayed from the reservation"
Ne was selected by the President to
Eather the administration railroad rate
fJill at this session and his influence
lis g in much of the legislation
which gets through the House. He
stands high in party councils and his
advice is esteemed highly on party
legislative matters.
Should the plan OF individual lead
eTship be abandoned, as many seem
10 think will be the result, Senator
.E5kins undoubtedly would become one
of the elmer circle which would con
troll party policies and direct the leg
islative work of the Senate. His po-
sition of seniority in service, his
staunch ~partisanship. his energy and
dis familiarity with all matters of leg
islation place him among those who
almost certainly would be selected to
direct party policies in the event OF
a change of leaders.
The Republican Congressional com
,snittee of the Second district OF West
Virginia has been called to meet at
Rsyser April 2S for the purpose OF
Hefarmining the method of nomina
fing a Republican candidate for Con
gress in that district. The call was
Sssued at Keyser yesterday, accord
ing ia information received here. Il
is also said here that a majority o
Ihe committee is in favor of a primary
election 10 nominate a candidate anC
as both candidates are in favor of th'
primary, it seems reasonably certain
thar one will be called.

MANY EVILS ARE ATTACKED

Members of the College Mems asso-

Hamburger's cafe last night, the
speakers being A. J. Wallace. Lincoln

The purpose of the meeting was to
give the college men an opportunity
to consider the questions of the COM
ing campaign as set forth by repre-
sentatives of various sides
Thomas E. Gibbon, the first speaker
of the evening, said that the political
question demands in its answering such
intellect as colleges are reputed to pos
sess. Mr. Gibbon declared in a forcible
manner presenting extensive proof OF
his assertion, that the power of taxa
ton has been taken from the hands of
the people and is now held by private
parties and is welded for their private
interest. at is the business Of the
Democratic party to get that power
back into the hands of the people.

Alden Anderson speaking on the sub
iect college Mems Support OF the

men exercise their rights of citizen
shin. He urged careful consideration
of the character of candidates IN the
present state campaign.
A. J. Wallace outlined the purposes
of the Lincoln Roosevelt Repupncan
league and bitterly assailed the South,

situations. He expressed his regret
that the Republican party has been
subject to the suggestion OF the ma
chine during past years. FOR many

Beck for the Orpheum circuit about
year ago, and has been a sensation
ever since. A South African CHM
panzee, he had been taken in hand by
Charles Judge. his trainer, and brought
almost to human perfection of knowl-
edge. Because of his nativity, Charles
was exceedingly subject to cold, and
this led to his care in travelling. His
life was insured for $25,0 900. The animal
never appeared here, but was on his
way when he died.
Some 100 OF the pupils of the Los
Angeles College of Osteopathy will be
guests at the Orpheum for their annual
theater party Saturday night next. The
house will be decorated in the college
colors and pennants.
With thirty-f1ve principals and more
than twice as many supers to rehearse,
Frederic Belasco is having busy little
time of it preparing for the production
of THE Rose of the Rancho at the

hundred persons are required to give
this drama of early California life an
adequate presentation.

youth daily Although this big traves-
ty is now we'll along in its second week,
1t appears to be growing in popularity
with each performance. The Kolb and
Dill season is rapidly drawing to a
close, as the comedy stars never play in
June, July and August:
Stage Director Harry Andrews of the
Belasco theater will go to Catalina for
a vacation. Lewis S. Stone will assume
direction of the stage and will have en-
tire charge of the production of THE
Dollar Mark which will be seen on the
Belasco stage following THE Squaw
Man." next weeks bill at the Black
wood house.
"The City that David Built" a new
play by r. L. Madden, will be produced
at the Belasco theater in July. Cohan
and Harris will produce the play in
New York in the fall. The play is not
Biblical.
The first popular priced matinee to
be given by the King stock company at
the Grand was given yesterday and a
crowded house found much to applaud
in the big situations and good comedy
of by Right of Sword" 1t is now
quite evident that Mr. King and his
players are here to stay, for he is Of
fering the best company and the finest
productions ever presented by drama
are now going on for "How Baxter

w ITH plenty of music. some of it
w good and the remainder unique,
~ and with a dramatic sketch of
more than ordinary worth, the sullivan
and Considine vaudeville offering at the
Los Angeles theater is above the av-
erage of excellence. But one criticism
of the bill as a whole may be offered.
There is too much sameness. A bit OF
variety is the spice of vaudeville.
Uncle Charles of Charleston dra-
matte sketch, and THE Volunteer P1-
anist" Foster and Fosters well known
and Justly popular musical act, are the
two headline features Of the bill. The
sketch is a one-act comedy and is pre-
sented by Mr.. and Mrs. James R. Nc
Cam and company In staging and
portrayal the comedy Is clever. The
plot treats of a gentlemanly burglar,
sort of Chesterfieldian thief, who,
while ransaclxing a bachelors apart
ments, finds himself suddenly cast for
the role of peacemaker between an
irate husband and a wife VINO was
about to become faithless as result
of the bachelors Establishments. Nu-
merous witty lines and exciting situa-
tions lend worth to the playlet

and a tiny mite of a real baby, present
a somewhat unusual mixture of fun

ally pretty. The absence of theatres
and the presence of absolute natural
ness in all situations is what makes
Sweet County Kerry" delightful

time l believe in the enactment and
enforcement Of laws against fraud

and particularly against entries
made by persons legally entitled
to take up such lands, but in the

great principle. l take my political
