SAN DIEGO TO
CELEBRATE

San Diego, Cal, Jan. "A program
designed to occupy at least three days
is being arranged for the occasion of
the breaking of ground for the Panama
California exposition in 1915. The
ceremonies are to be held at some ap-
propriate date during the coming
spring, probably In the early part OF
April, and the plans that are now be-
ing laid for the event indicate that it
will be the biggest and grandest pub
lie affair ever undertaken in southern
California
Announcement already has been
made that Count Jacques de Lesseps,
son of the great Frenchman whose
genius conceived the plan of the Pan
anna canal, will come to San Diego to
preside over the ceremonies, and the
outline of the program, as now made,
gives one day to the civic ceremonies
with appropriate exercises In Balboa
park, the site of the exposition; an
Iother day to splendid pagentry and
dramatic discovery of the Pacific
ocean, and the early settlement of Cal
ifornia and San Diego, and third day
to outdoor games and sports on land
and water, with a fitting close in a
might Of joyous reyelry.
Landscape Architect John c. Ohm
sted, who has been at work upon the
plans of the arrangement of Balboa
park in San Diego for several months,
promises that everything will be in
readiness for the breaking ground
ceremonies early in the coming spring,
and it has been planned to begin then
the erection of the first one of the ex-
position buildings, probably the great
art museum, which is to remain after
the close of the exposition as one OF
the permanent features of San Diego
wonderful Balboa park. Those who
attend the ceremonies next spring will
be able to gain a comprehensive idea
of the scope and character of the
unique international exposition which
San Diego is preparing.
Invitations are to be sent to the gov
errors and other officials of all of the
Pacific coast states and to many other
tnotable persons in the United States
and other countries to attend the
ceremonies and take part in them
Letters have been received by Col. D
lC, Collier, director general of the ex
position, saying that excursions viii
be brought to San Diego from various
parts of the country for the occasion
lit is not over estimating to say thai
probably ten thousand people will be
attracted to San Diego to witness th'
novel and spectacular ceremonies.

"PoIIy of the Circus"

1t is rather unusua Ito see graphical
ly represented on the stage of the
atre a real circus, with real horses,
ponies, dogs and trained elephant,
and all the paraphernalia of the saw
dust ring, and yet that is what will be
truly portrayed at the Auditorium on
January 8. 1t is made possible by
the ingenuity and cleverness of Fred
eric Thompson, young man who a
few years ago went down to New York
City, and by his dash and dare re-
volutionized the then prevailing big
amusement enterprises in and around
the metropolis He produced the Won
ders of Luna Park Coney Island, and
the marvels of the huge Hippodrome
in New York City. He was sort of
theatrical Moses, was this young
Lochinyar. who came out of the wilds
and invented realistic scenes on a
prodigious scale He had Margaret
Md9p NlilS pay Oh luSdo hN iui II
ished. and then put them into realism.
Polly of the Circus" is very human
play with a quaint tenderness about it,
and "a continuous interest that holds
and entertains. Polly is star rider
in the circus that has just come to a
staid old town in the middle west
The circus pitches its tent next to the
parsonage. Polly meets with an acct
dent. aud is brought into the parsons
home unconscious, with the parson
the two protectors of the girl-"Uncle
Toby" the clown, and big jim" the
boss canvassman = to care for her
Polly stays at the parsons home fol
eleven months and during that time
she has learned to love and be loved
by all the younger folks. The inevit
able of course happens. Polly and the
minister fall in love, and to the scan
! dal of the proper parishioners. Polly
hears how she is dragging down the
clergyman's good name, so she ueclaes
to go back to the circus and not revea
her passion. month after her de
parture the circus comes back agail
to the town. and the big tent is packed
all eager to see Polly ride, Polly whit
was in their town for nearly a year
And here are the big scenes of th'
play. The play ends of course witt
Polly and the minister uniting thei
fortunes. and the circus going ava,
second time without the star rider
Mr.. Thompson has spared on expens'
in presenting this play with capable
cast
This is exactly the same production
that played one solid year at the Lib
erty Theatre, New York City,

clared thousands OF times that vinita

people the salt thereof, and can prove
it If any one should be shortsighted
enough to doubt the statement We

hearty welcome to all both new and
old.
1t is great privilege to take part
in the growth and development of a
country like Oklahoma The wonder
full transition that has taken place
here within the last twenty years can
never be repeated on the American

ability even greater things in store
for the future. The Chieftain wishes
all a happy and prosperous New
Year.

The removal of the old public school
building and the construction of the
new $50 900 high school building which
is to take place this year will be a
forward step in the growth of Vinita

ing was built in 1882 and at that time
was a source of pride to all the people
OF Vinita which would not number
over 500.

ment was absurd. in the HEut ul
| Smiths subsequent attitude toward
the Wilson bill. 1t was no less than
| prepoterous. 1t Is doubtful Ii this
! alone would have persuaded many
legislators to change their votes.
But other and more powerful inhu-
ences were at work
Early In January Trenton was
filled with railroad lobbyists. la was
clear that one of their purposes was
the defeat OF Albeit. Shortly they
were reinforced by a horde OF 9TH
| err lobbyists representing the RAGS
track, poolroom and brewery In ter
! ests. Money flowed as freely as 1t
had at Albany during the contest
| over the election of two senators to
| succeed Conkling and Platt ten years
earlier. There were dinners ev-
| cry night at which the legislators
were the guests Of the lobbyists
| There were rumors. too, that all the
money was not spent on dinners.
Fighting In The Dark.
Smith during this period OF gaiety
and uncertainty kept d~isereetly In
the background with friends of his
In control in both houses. But Smith
did not show his hand, nor did he
announce his candidacy in reply to
the Essex county assemblymen. All
| efforts Of the Albeit men to force
| him into the open failed. They were
| HELPLESS to combat a man who was
| on the surface friendly to them.
The election in the Legislature
was set for January %. 1t has been
the custom OF the party to hold It's
senatorial caucus on the night pre-
cedtng the election. But the Smith
| conspirators changed this program
| When all his plans were matured,
Smith suddenly made public a reply
to the invitation Of his Essex hench-
| men. He recognized the strong
"public demand for him and took
the position that the CALI to duty was
too powerful to resist. So he ac-
cepted. Almost ceincident with this
| reply there was made public a call
for a Democratic legislative caucus
sent out by Smiths legislative
| agents. The date was set for Janu-
airy 16, a week In advance OF the
election.
Abbett's friends protested In vain
gains VIVA ta6y CdilCo O ouNR
caucus" But they had no time to
arouse public opinion in their Ia
| vor. 1t was all Q before they
| could gather their forces together.
| Albeit realized that there was no
| hope for him in the face OF such a
| combination as stood behind Smith,
and he consented to have his name
withdrawn. This was done by 2
of his friends, and Smith was made
the caucus nominee. The detection
of Smith and the trickery practiced
in his behalf were successful, Abb
| bett was dead politically, and he
| died a few years later, virtually Of
a broken heart, because of his fail
ure to attain the goal Of his ambl-
ton.
And Smith thus stepped into a
position of national Importance in
his party, where he contributed not
a little to the events that brought
about it's overwhelming defeat in
1896, In New Jersey the harvest
was reaped earlier. For Smith had
been senator little more than a year
before d political overturn took place
that kept the state-eontiuaanalxln
the Republican column until Wood
row wilson WAS elected Governor
last November.
