"Two Merry Tramps." +"

OF Two Merry Tramps,' many
pleasing things have been said by the
critics, not only in the larger cities
but in the night stands as well, during
the past season where 1.-TWO Merry
Tramps" have been presented, about
Wood & Wards production. The play
being strictly a musical comedy with
three acts and bevy of pretty girls
The title of the piece is somewhat
misleading, but it is only the title, for
from the rise to the fall of the curtain
it is just one of the cleanest, jolliest
and liveliest comedies that has en-
livened the musical field. Never for
an instant does it bring blush, but
instead brings laughter that is ire
pressible. For the past eight seasons
it has played to packed houses in the
middle west and appeals to the elite
of fashion and all that is refined. The
comedy is natural, the music catchy
the scenery magnificent, the costumes
gorgeous and the cost all that is desir.
ed This attraction will be the offer
ing at the Grand Theatre, Monday, De
cember 25, matinee and night.

IN SIGNING OF PETITIONS

Oklahoma City, Dec 19.-Charges Of
Wholesale fraud in connection with the
circulation of initiative petitions to
submit the proposed constitutional
amendment. of which former Senator
Campbell Russell of Warner is the au-
thor, changing the method of electing
the state board of agriculture, are
made in protest filed with Secretary
of State Ben Harrison yesterday by
Marie Woodson superintendent of
county demonstration farms of the
board of agriculture.
Woodson alleges that thousands of
names were forged to the petitions, es-
pecially those circulated in Oklahoma
City, The law governing the initia-
tive makes it felony to forge names
to any initiative or referendum petit
tion. The secretary of state set Jan
uary Is as the date for hearing the
protest. at which time attorneys for
the board of agriculture say they will

ed confession that several thousand
names obtained to the petitions in Ok

pers, hotel registers and city direc-
tories.

Newton IN. CD News: Governor
Wilson in his speeches and in his pol
icies in New Jersey has shown that he
is pre-eminently man of the people.
AS such he is looming large before
the nation And because of this there
is evidence of a syndicated movement
to wean away from his the support
of the people. Every citizen should
read with understanding those articles
against this man. For when a man
has bulked big enough to fill the pres
idential chair and shows that his sym
pathies are with the masses rather
than the classes, there is an insiduous
attack on him all along the line, and
men are hired to fill newspapers with

good deal of Growing going on since
a republican legislature was elected
in New Jersey, ON account of the sup
posed bad effect it may have on Gov
ernor Wilson's prospects for the pres
idency.
But a canvass of the popular vote
cast in his state at the November cleo
ton, sends Governor Wilson to the
front with flying colors. Owing to dis
.trict apportionments, the result was
to give the republicans a slender ad-
vantage in members of the legislature.
But the aggregate vote cast was, for
the republican candidates, 157 1884, and
for the democratic candidates, 160,1S4
giving the latter clear majority.
This settles the argument that Will
son was beaten in his own state and
that he cannot carry it next year
Considering what New Jersey was,
politically, when Governor Wilson took
hold of it, and what to a large degree
lit now -corporation-ridden trust-in
Tested, the chattel of big business and
the interests-the majority of the dem
locrats is equivalent to an hundred
thousand for Ohio.
Opinion of Williams.
Birminghim (Ala). News: John
Sharp Williams, senator from Missis
sippi, is in favor of Woodrow Wilson
for the democratic nomination, and ex
presses the opinion that the New Jer
sey man can be elected
Such an opinion expressed by Sc
great democrat can not be lightly re
garded. Before his election to the
senate, Mr.. Williams was for many
years the house leader of the minority
and the fact that his party now has Z
majority in the lower house is due, t.
no small extent, to his ability as {
leader
Since his incumbency as senator
Mr.. Williams has naturally assumed
the leadership of his party in tha
body, and it was partly pique at thii
fact, no doubt, that led Senator Bailey
of Texas, to decide to retire at thu
lend of the present term.
Mr. Williams is southerner to th'
core, but he is something more thar
southern, he is national; but into hi
broader work, he brings to bear wha
he is pleased to call in others "th
most honorable southern traditions.
