No secret is made here of the cal

respect TO the probable electoral votes

Some of the leaders have been going
over the situation. they profess with
a good deal of care and trying to as
certain what states President Taft If
renomnated will probably get and
what states the democrats will get.
The result is the calculation that
gives the democrats a total OF 32S

which the insurgent leaders give the
democrats as against Taft include, in

The Gamblers is One That Takes

Charles Klein's greatest play, 1.-THE

season at Maxine Elliott's theatre,
New York, comes to Bennington the

The story of the attempt of the
young bank officer to get all the
others free, and his love for the wife
of the cold-booded prosecuting attor-
ney, innocently brought into the af-
fair, is one of the most gripping
plays the theatregoers have had offer
ed them in many a day.

BIG FROST DAMAGE
Tobacco Crop in New England Suffer
ed Worst

Boston, Sept. 14.-Damage OF
more than half a million dollars was
done to New England crops, especi
ally tobacco, by heavy frost during
the early hours today. With the wea-
Their forecaster predicting continued
cold weather for tonight, farmers in
this section of the country are feeling
discouraged. First disastrous
spring drought then prolonged rains,
too late TO benefit their crops, and
now unexpected frosts have made this
particularly hard year for the New
England farmer.
The tobacco crop in the Connecticut
Valley received a severe blow from
the frost, growers announcing that
the loss on this crop alone in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut will be, ap-
proximately 100000.
Cranberry bogs along Cape Cod re-
ceiyed the full force Of the biting cold,
and in many cases the ripe berries
were destroyed. Garden truck of all
kinds was severely damaged
There was a heavy frost in the
White Mountain region, where the
coolest weather known for September
was reported.
Sufiield, Con, Sept. 14.-Under the
heaviest frost which has visited Suf-
field for twenty-five years at this time
of the year about 500 acres OF stand
ing tobacco was completely ruined
last night, reports from growers re-
ceived this morning placing the aggre-
gate loss at between 100000 and
$250.0O0, with a possibility that it may
exceed the latter figure. twenty-five
years ago heavy frost ruined tobac-
co then in the fields and it had to be
ploughed under. 1t is probable that
the acreage blighted last night will
have to be turned back into the
ground.
Earlier in the season about 500 &C
res of tobacco were ruined by hail.

 matter of no little satisfaction to both
 Mr Mann and MT. Brady and The Cheater' is likely to go along indefi- .ntely as an example of a performance really worth laughing at The plot of The Cheaterf is reported to be a very consistent one, and relates to German politician, who is very keen upon the suppression of all-night resorts,

 In fact. it is stated on good authority that never was a comedy prepared which of fered better advantages to an actor who understands and appreciates as does MT Mann the finer points of discretion, and while the audiences are kept in con- tinual state of merriment nothing is said or done that would be liable to offend the keenest sensibilities of the most ex- acting.

 MT Mann's character in the play for Thursday night is described by the title. It is that of foreigner-a familiar ltype-who cannot or will not accom- modate himself to the American way or doing things, and who, therefore, IS left standing still, failure when mo- body may help because he will not permit himself to be helped, nor will he help himself. This bourbon, old John Krauss wants to make watches and sell them as his father and grand father had done generations betore He cannot see why Americans should prefer a home made watch simply be- cause it was cheaper than the Swiss kind kept better time and looked just as we'll His argument is that the Swiss watch is better work, because 1t takes more time in the making. And, as in his craft so in everything else. Why hurry? he asks. Why hustle? he wants to know. Why not do things as they always had been done in the Father land? he wonders.

 Jules and Batiste have been hunting this man for two years. Jules by art full talk in which he causes Mcdonald to believe that he also is a libertine, has got from McDonald's own lips the story of Annette There is a further situa- tion that makes Jules anger against Mcdonald rise even to the white heat that it has always been. Jules is in love with TIilda, and it is plain that Mo Donald is seeking to injure this girl woman as he did little Annette. He has filled her head with fascinating stories of the beauty of life in the great cities, the opera, theatres, handsome gowns, glittering jewels.

 Meanwhile. she has telegraphed the butcher who took the first train to New York, appearing at Ellis Island several days ago and bringing with him half dozen boxes of candy and three bouquets.

Louis Mann in "Two Comedies"

No actor of special prominence visit ing Birmingham has better cause for rejoicing over the reception of his stage work than has Louis Mann, who last season presented "The Man Who Stood Still" in which he scored the greatest hit of his long and useful career.
 It was in comedy characters, neyerthe- less, that the theatregoing public first learned the superior qualities of MT Mann's true art. Hence his coming .o the Shubert theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, with a special matinee We'd nesday, in his latest comedy success, The Creator" has awakened uncommon laughing interests.
 'The Cheater," has awakened uncommon New York critcis to be veritable laugh ing sensation, for five months held the largest audiences ever assembled in the Lyric theatre, New York city, in laugh ing ecstasies, and proved itself one of the most potent fun offerings ever known in the history of metropolitan theatri- calls.
 It was Mir. Manns intention to continue this season in The Man Who Stood still, but after he had witnessed Der Dopplemensch,, while in Berlin last year, he secured the rights for adaptation and production of that great German com
