CONFIDENCE IN
FAWCETT CAMP

A. Rydstrom, who has been
speaking for Seymour, has proba-
bly, wagered more money on his
man than any other individual.
Rydstrom, however, did his bet
ting before the primary.
The Seymour people might ma
turally be expected to have more
money for betting purposes but
they refuse to take chance at
offering odds.
1t was reported from Fawcett
headquarters today and about the
streets that hundreds of votes
were changing in favor of the
mayor.
Fawcett undeniably gained
much strength last week and this
combined with the fact that the
Barth vote Is to be considered has
given rise to perfect confidence in
the Fawcett camp.

SEYMOUR WOMEN
STOP MEETING

Some of the w. G. T. u. women
had asked the Fawcett headquar-
ters to arrange a meeting for to-
night at w. G. T. u. headquarters,
$40 South Ninth street, with w.
c. T. u. women as speakers. The
meeting was SO billed, but this
morning Mrs. Shores stirred up q
lot of opposition women, and they
declared they would not permit
the room to be opened. The &C
ton of the Seymour women is
likely to split the union, as they
have held meetings whenever and
wherever they pleased without in
reference from the Fawcett peo-
pie.

.T|LL|ESS NIGHTMARE
.UPR0AR|0US COMEDY
''Tillie's Nightmare"


BY all means take look at
Tillie. True IL might be called
"Tillie's Pipe Dream" but what
ever the name, Marie Dressler at
the Tacoma last night and tonight
Is a scream.
The audience last night was in
a roar from start to curtain fall.
The play hinges upon Tillie, a
boarding house drudge, who falls
asleep and dreams of what might
have been had her beau, Sim, be-
come great millionaire. One act
depicts Tillie and her husband
taking a honeymoon on their pa
latiai yacht.
Miss Dressler's presentation of
a seasick person passes word de-
scription.
Pretty girls galore and hand
some gowns are no small part of
this riproaring funny play.

Uncle Sam has put the ban on

he says is not ice cream at all,

The force of gravity wouldn't be
strong enough to bring 1t back,

Now come the peace propagan-
dists, who urge that the big gun
be made, by all means, and fired
|once-just once-in commemora-
ton of the establishment of world
peace. Then as long as the world
stands, the cannonball fired would
go whirling about the earth as an
everlasting peace memorials a
visible reminder of the last can
non shot fired on earth and of the
beginning of the peace era.
The prime objection to this
brilliant idea is that the cannon
ball flying about in space would be
invisible to the naked eye, and
hence not a very inspiring peace
memorial.
