|NCE IN THE MESSENGER
 FROM MARS

Mars is the favorite planet of au-
 thors and dreamers. It has been
 deemed the home of life, and writers
 have desired to think of Martian life
 as superior in intelligence and evolu-
 tionary degree to life upon this planet.
 The play at Polls. this week. written
 by Richard LeGallienne, is based
 upon this belief '"The Message from
 Mars" is the title of the play. The
 story is drawn about rich and sell
 nsh man, a character familiar in many homes. This man believes that this is the best of all possible worlds, Tn which everything is ordered in the most beautiful way. His sympathy With the poor and distressed is nil. He has no conception of the effects of heredity and environment and he be- l1eves that all ills and all distresses are in some way the fault of the in d1vidual who sustains them After an evening in which he treats the girl he is to marry with heartless selfish ness he falls asleep by the fire. Dur Ing his slumber the messenger arrives who undertakes his salvation, as dogs are trained, with the whip.
 The supernatural quality of the action is aided by an up-to-date use of electrical effects and lightings. These effects are striking and assist in keeping the audience in a state of tenseness and expectancy
 John Ince plays the part of Horace, the egotist, an unqualiiedly selfish | person. Ince subordinates his strik,! | ing personality most successfully and l gives a realistic interpretation. MT. Eggenton appears as the messenger rom Mars and is the forceful figure | that the part requires.
 The effect of allusion upon tempera- .ure was strikingly witnessed Thet second act is conducted in a blinding snow storm. That unreal, real snow 'now storm cooled everybody down to ! comfortable degree. Try it yourself sometime during the week.

The trial marriage is an ineradf cable custom among the Eskfmos- If g young man and woman are not suited with each other they try again, and sometimes several times, but wher they find mates to whom they are adapted the arrangement is generally permanent. If two men want to marry the same woman they: settle the ques tion by trial of strength. and the better man has his way.-"The Nortt Pole," by Robert E. Peary.

MANY meetings
END CAMPAIGN
Both Sides Fight Until Last Moment Ministers
Meeting Looked Good to Fawcett People.

Tacoma was one vast auditor
ium last night.
The most unique meeting of the
lot was at the First Christian
church. Here the five pastors of
the FIVE big First" churches as
sembled to hold q "non7partisan
political meeting.
The speakers all hammered the
saloons and vice preserves to the
limit and so all the Fawcett peo-
pie in the house were pop sure
that 1t was a simon pure Fawcett
meeting as the saloons and vice
preserves are all with Seymour.
Another thing that looked like
Fawcett was attack on Commits
sioner Roys DR.. Ford of the Con-
gregational church gave the COM
missioner 4 black eye for his alb
solute refusal to enforce the law.
This saddling of the RESPONSE
bility for law enforcement where
It belongs, on Roys instead of the
mayor, also looked good to the
Fawcett people.
The speeches were fine all
through and the audience was
well pleased anyway, whether II
was Fawcett or Seymour they
were trying to help.
Seymour with his bunch of rail-
way club shouters went to South
Tacoma.
II am now. have been in the
past, and will be in the future alb
ssolutely m favor of having the
public utilities owned by the peo-
ple-and operated in the best pos
sible manner for the people," said
Seymour.
And his idea of the best way
to Operate" them is to lease them

The FIFTH

In the Fifth ward, which was
the Fawcett stronghold in the
last election, the women are going
to the polls In large numbers. The
precincts have voted as follows:
Seventh precinct, 636 votes reg
istered, had voted 65 votes at
.11:40.
Eighth precinct, 49, votes reg
istered, at 1912 had voted A.
Ninth precinct, which has Att
votes registered, voted 40 votes
up to 1920.
Tenth precinct at 1880 had
voted 45 votes out of registra-
tion of $50.
Eleventh precinct. the pre-
|cinct carried by Barth In the last
election, has registration OF 346,
lat 11:22 had voted 80 votes.
All of the above precincts are
workingmen's strongholds, and
the vote will not come In until
after o'clock. From all indica-
tions Tacoma will poll the largest
vote of any city in the state OUT
side of Seattle. The women vot-
ers are going to the polls early.

FaWcett Money
Enforced the
Anti-Treat

Here is something that should
be remembered in the eleventh
hour wall as regards checks is
sued by Fawcett: The Seymour
press, which advised all Tacoma
not to vote the anti-treating law,
has done everything in it's power
to throw cold water on the enact
ment since it was passed. Faw-
cett has gone down into his own
pocket to show that the law could
be enforced.
With willing police depart
ment this would not be necessary.
Fawcett realized the cry would be
raised that the law could not be
enforced and he has demonstrated
that 1t could. He has written his
personal check for some who have
secured evidence along these
lines. Now the Seymour press is
raising a mighty howl.

One of the greatest meetings of
the campaign was held at the First
Christian church last night.
1t had been promised that the
meeting would be Of non-parti-
san nature, and 1t was. The only
reference that could be taken to
be of personal nature was when
Rev. Thomas W.. Lane of the
Methodist church scored the man
responsible for letting the dives
run wide open. Practically every
man and woman in the audience
took 1t that Mr.. Lane was refer
ring to Commissioner Roys of the
public safety department. Roys
had refused Mayor F'awcett's Or
ders to clean up the town.
The addresses of Rev. p. T.
Ford and Thomas Lane were par
ticularlys effective, and the go
called social vice" came In for a
bitter scoring. Denunciation was
made of the dives and those con-
Injected with them.

Among the leading workers for
Fawcett today are the socialist
workers who were for Barth two
weeks ago. Here are $500
votes and the leaders declare It
looks as II all but about the 500
odd ones would be for Fawcett,
who stands for pressing forward
with the municipal ownership idea
and doing things for the people.
Going TO Fawcett.
Following the reports of So
cialist accessions come reports of
wholesale desertions from the
Seymour ranks. Many women
voted for Seymour two weeks ago
because :. some woman asked her
to-" Many who had not thought
of voting at all did this but they
have had a lot of education since
on what the real issue is in the
campaign. They have discovered
that the saloons, the fallen wom-
en-, the white slavers and the cor
poration interests are trying to
down Fawcett and many of these
women who voted for Seymour
because some one asked them to
are now voting for Fawcett be-
cause they want to.
One bunch of II women in the
Fourth ward who voted for Sey-
mour two weeks ago went to the
polls today and 13 of the II voted
for Fawcett.
Similar groups all over the city
are reported changing.
Word came from the Eighth
ward this noon that the tone of
affairs there indicated that Faw-
lcett will carry the ward. The
Seventh also seems to be swing
ing toward Fawcett. 1t Is con-
ceded that Fawcett will have the
Fourth and Fifth and Sixth near
lily unanimous and the Third Is
good fighting ground owing to the
large Iaboring element in the
ward. The saloons in this ward,
however, are putting up a hard
fight, for Seymour.
Seymour will not have quite as
many In the First and Second for
a majority as he had before from
appearances. Many women voted
with the crowd before who have
been thinking for themselves this
thine.
The workers on both sides were
diIigent and there were quite q
lfew challenges of voters.
Many Seymour women workers
lin their enthusiasm again over
lstepped the law and got to cleo
ltioneering in and around the poll
ling places. If 1t is not stopped
this afternoon some action may be
taken in the matter.
With but one ticket with two
names to count 1t is expected the
result will be known early to-
might. The polls will close at 5
o'clock and at $50 all the count
ling will be over and the results
will be known.

made to the fact that Peter Sand
berg had come out openly in his
paper supporting Seymour, senti-
ments as expressed by the speak

tendency Of the dive keepers to be

The audience was evidently
deeply impressed with the remarks
of the speakers and the non-par-

widely commended.

Fawcett is known as fighter
from the word go but probably
never in his life has he become
SO imbued to battle the interests
that are now opposing him. And
nobody knows this better than the
strongest Seymour adherents.
That is why they are. working
tooth and nail, spending no end of
cash to defeat him. 7
The bitterest ballot battle ever
waged in Tacoma is coming off to-
day and "Old Man Fawcett" is
