Uncle Toms Cabin.

Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin Co
played to a crowded tent on last
Wednesday evening. We have been
attending Uncle Tom for the last
twenty years and it never grows old.
For Americans it has historical,
mural and emotional interest that no
other drama contains.
The performance on Wednesday
evening was the best, the most
artistic and realistic we have ever
seen produced outside of the large
city theatres.
The concert lasted for full forty
five minutes and was as good as the
show. Most closing concerts are fakes
but Terry's was really fine and in
teresting performance. better than
advertised. Star Gazette. Blandins-

ROOSEVELT PLANS A
FUSION CAMPAIGN
Counts on Capturing Local ard State

were outlined to-day whereby Col.
Roosevelt hopes to capture local or
state tickets from both the Democratic
and Republican parties in further
ance of his purpose to put the new
third party on it's feet 1t is pro-
posed to execute the move within the
party organizations where Roosevelt
sentiment is strong enough to make
such an attempt feasible.
In certain districts. said Col.
Roosevelt. the Republican nomina-
tions will be captured for progressives
who will support our candidates for
electors. In other districts. this
will be done through the Democratic
organizations. -
AS the first step in the plan there is
under preparation what will be
perhaps the most elaborate political
chart Of the county ever made.
When completed Col. Roosevelt S
organizers will have data from every
congressional district in the country,
regarding the strength of the Roose-
welt following, conditions IN both
the Democratic AMI Republican state
and district organizations, tabulations
showing the vote in the previous
presidential elections and lists of the
best available timber for the new
party among political workers and
leading men in business and the pro-
fessions.
In some cases it is hoped to arrange
for fusion of the independent and
Republican or Democratic tickets.
provided the candidates on the local
tickets will support the Roosevelt
electors in exchange for having the
Roosevelt strength thrown to them.

NO SECTIONALISM
IN THE NEW PARTY
Roosevelt Makes Plain That He Appeals
to Democrats as Well as Repub-
licans for Votes.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. July "A
protest against any bit of sec
tionalism in the new progressive
party was made Friday by Colonel
Roosevelt, who said be did not ''care
a rap" where a man was born or
whether his father wore the blue or
the gray so long as he was the right
type. Colonel Roosevelt was told of
a speech made yesterday by Major
General Samuel E. Sickles, who was
quoted as saying Woodrow Wilson
was born amid rebel surrounding
and that we of the north have never
been disposed to put such man in
the white house. F"
Colonel Roosevelt said he could not
discuss the speech, but that iG was the
desire of the founders of the new party
to make the movement one which
would truly represent all sections of
the country.
The call for the progressive con.
vention," he continued, state that
this was to be a nation wide. non
sectional movement, free from any OF
the sectional or other jealousies and
bitterness of the past. In my speech
at Chicago in which I stated that
would accept the progressive
nomination if rendered to me,
also stated that we appealed alike to
the men who wore the blue and the
men who wore the gray and to the
sons of the men who wore the blue
and to the sons of the men who wore
the gray.

Georgian. The brothers of my own
mother served in the confederate navy
Just as the kin folks of my father
served in the union army.
No man has been more prominent
than Judge Lindsey born in the south,
whose father served in the confederate
cavalry. We appeal to northerners and
southerners, fasteners and westerneri
alike.

TELLS HOW TO SAVE ICE
AND PRESERVE FOOD
Keep Ice Box Door Closed Eatables
Placed on Ice Prevent Neces-
sary Circulation.

A series of refrigerator don is >
for hot weather was outlined by A. S
Klein of Cleveland, Ohio, at meet
ing of the American Refrigerator
Manufacturers Association last week.
The 'don ts," he said, are de-
signed to save ice and keep food in the
best state of preservation They are
as follows:
Don t open the ice compartment
door except to put in ice or take it
out. Keep that door locked if pos
sible. Opening the lower door
twenty times will not melt the ice as
fast as to open the ice door once )"
''Don' t put food or water next the
ice. This interferes with the circula-
ton of the refrigerator and requires
frequent opening of the ice compart-
ment door. !"
Don't allow the ice to run low.
Keep the compartment filed, as the
ice melts faster with less effect when
it is low
Don't use paper or other means to
Keep the ice from melting. If the
ice did not melt it would have no
cooling effect. =
Don't allow refuse or contaminat.
ed matter to accumulate in the re.
frigerator Sanitation in an ice box
is absolutely necessary. Keep the
box as clean as possible.
BY following these rules you will
lower the cost of your ice -

ARE YOU SURE THAT
YOU'RE A FULL CITIZEN?
There Are Many Complications Under
the New Laws Concerning Citi-
zenship

AS a result of an act passed at the
recent special session of the legisla-
ture amending the law relating to
registration of voters and the publish
ing of voters lists, large number of
citizens who have been voting for
years will be disfrsnchised unless they
take out second citizenship papers.
The law provides. that tor the first
general election after December l,
1912. cities of the second, third and
fourth classes and villages and towns
in which registry is required shall
wipe their registry lists clean, and that
no name shall appear upon the new
registry list unless the elector ap-
pears in person before the inspectors
and requests his name to be register
ed Another recent law made it
necessary for every voter to be fully
naturalized.
It is expected that this law will
strike particularly hard at what are
known as foreign born sons of aliens
and that it will reach high average
in many counties
Under the laws of this country the
children or wards of an immigrant
become naturalized when he has taken
out his full citizenship papers. How
ever, under the old practice lmmi-
grants were allowed to vote on taking
out their first citizenship papers.
This did not make them full citizns
second citizenship papers would be
necessary for that. Hundreds Of I'm :
migrants, however, neglected 10 take
out these second papers and have been
voting ever since, some of them for
City or sixty years. No doubt many
of them have imagined all along that
they were citizens of this country.
Not only were these first generation
immigrants who thus took out only
their first papers not citizens, but
their children who were born abroad
and have lived here practically all
their lives are not citizens, strictly
speaking.
Commenting on this embarrassing
situation the Madison journal says an
examination of the poll lists of that
city is said to show some startling
revelations in this respect. Many of
the most substantial and highly re-
spected residents, pioneers and build
ers Of the city, are not citizens of the
United States In the list are the
names of many men who have held
city and county offices for years, who
have themselves served as election
officers and inspectors and have signed
hundreds of affidavits by which others
have voted The same is no doubt
true of many other cities besides
Madison Even the legislatures have
had their quota of non citizens who
have assisted i'd the making of laws,

IN SESSION TWO DAYS.
The convention lasted two days
and the greater part of that time was
taken up in discussing in the COM

vention the income tax. The factions
were divided on the question of favor
ing amendment of the present law
and submitting the amendment to a
referendum vote of the people or
repeating the present law and passing
a new one. The Schmitz faction
favored the amendment and the Karel
crowd the repeal. The amendment
was finally adopted after the question
had been carried to the floor of the
convention and more than three hours
had Deen spent in argument on it..
Before the convention met there were
rumors of probable deals with the

denied they bad any such plans They
maintained that men endorsed for
places on the primary ballot were
progressives and that their na= es
would attract followers of the senator.
