POPULAR APPEAL Of
THE MAN FROM HOME
EASILY EXPLAINED
William Hodge to Be at
Belasco Next Week in
Great Success.

1t is not necessary to look far to ac-
count for the popular appeal OF The
Man from Home" the Booth Tarking-
ton-Harry Leon Wilson playN in which
the droll comedian. William Hodge,
comes to the Belasco Theater tomorrow
night for a weeks engagement. Its
story throbs with genuine American
spirit, and it vigorously attacks a prob
lem which is always in the public eye,
and its authors have written into their
play sympathetic chord that perme-
ates it from beginning to end.
The message of the play to wealthy
young Americans who seek titles abroad
is-"Don't!' 1t tells the story of a pair
of guileless young Indianians who. hav-
ing more money than good sense, fall
into the coils of a set of plotting for
eign aristocrats in a hotel in Sorrento,
Italy. The girl is sought by the scion
of a penniless English earldom, and
the boy is under the influence of a
scheming French adventures. Then
appears on the scene Daniel Voorhees,
Pike, hard-headed, shrewd, outspoken
lawyer. the guardian of the pair from
kokomo, Ind. He labors not only from
a sense of duty, but from an impulse of
love. The struggle from, that point is
American acumen versus European cum
ming. Pike, the lawyer, is beaten at
every turn, but he remains courageous
In defeat and patient under ignominy
until, by a strange coincidence, he Is
able to show up his opponents in their
true light, and a happy, sentimental
ending is reached. William Hodge not
only makes a profound impression in
the role of Daniel Voorhees, Pike, but
shows that he has firmly established
himself as star of a new order. He
fits the title role in every detail, and
has made the play the huge success
that has been proved.
The supporting cast contains the
names of several local favorites, includ-
ing Dodson Mitchell, Madeline Louis,
Ida Vernon, Alice johnson, Echlin
Gayer, Herbert Mckenzie, Henry Har-
mon, George lie Guere, Anthony Asher,
and A MOnteEriffO

ton of original stereopticon views and
motion pictures that pictorially carry
home. by comparison with pictures Of
previous periods, the wonderful advance
ment of the past few years. So convin-
cling has Mr.. Bennett made his lecture
that number of the members of the
Southern Commercial Congress, headed
by it's president, Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher, who will introduce the speak
er tonight, are urging him as the official
publicity man of that organization.

The total vote was about $4,000.
about the same as that east In the
great Cameron campaign of 1908. The
large vote is generally thought to be
favorable to the Republicans.
The Socialist vote, however, is light,
and this greatly strengthened the
chances of the Democrats, particularly
Hunt, Ashurst and Hayden. The Repub-
licans had believed the Democratic
ticket would be largely cut into by the
Socialist vote, but this seems not TO
have been the case.

In general, Tucson pOlIed 1879 votes
