LYRIC AUDIENCE
IS CAPTIVATED
PRESENTATION OF
''THE WIFE, BY CARPENTER
PLAYERS.
Sterling Drama of American Life
Proves AS Popular As
Ever.

It is not often that one may see
presented by stock company a pro-
duct1On with so many points to rec
ommend it as "The Wife, presented
for the first time at the Lyric Thea
ire last evening. Mr.. Carpenter has
provided for this production three fine
stage settings, and fine electrical eff
fects, and this taken with the excel
lehc of the cast make 1t certain that
'AThe Wife" will make a record run
at the theatre
1.-THE Wife" is a comedy drama in
four acts, by Belasco and De Mile,
and tells the story of young girl,
Helen Truman, who turns aside the
love of a worthy young man because
of the false reports of another, Lucille
Ferrant, who had previously loved the
same young man. The young man,
Robert Grey, later wins a high office
through the influence Of the man who
married Miss Truman. False reports
again link together the names Of Mrs.
Rutherford and Mr.. Grey. Mr.. Ru-
therford, although in darkness as to
the former love affair between his wife
and Mr.. Grey, arranges to publicly
show his APPROVAL of his wife being
seen with Mr.. Grey. The story then
progresses until the time arrives when
there is a true and real understanding
between man and wife, and he takes
her into his arms calling her wife
in all that the word conveys.
Miss Cleveland is seen to good ad-
vantage as Miss Truman, later Mrs.
Rutherford She has several strong
emotional scenes which thoroughly
demonstrate that she is an actress, of
great ability. Mr.. CONFESS, as Mr..
John Rutherford, is also in good style.
He is ever the same as the upright
politician, always cool and levelhead-
ed in all times,~ and in his scene In his
library late at night, alone with his
wife is most convincing Of his ability.
Mr.. Common, as Robert Grey, is in a
part which he portrays excellently.
He is given some very hard scenes and
carries them off with honor. Miss
Lucille Ferrant was played by Helen
Ward, and Matthew Culver is played
by Mr. Carroll. Both these parts are
of the same nature, each of the per-
sons being willing to SANDER another
for their own advancement. In each
case the part was well taken and
showed once more the abilities OF the
couple.
The minor parts are all well played.
That of Major Homer Q. Putnam,
whose faint heart ne'er won fair lady,
and that of Mrs. S. Bellamy Ives, later
Mrs. Putnam, played by Mr.. Devine
and Miss Strickland, gave each of the
players opportunity to show once
more their ability to make an audience
laugh. Mr.. Gilmore as Silas Truman,
an old stock trader, was especially
good, and the part of Kitty Ives, play
ed by Miss Carpenter, and Jack Dex-
ter, played by Mr.. Roberts, showed
that each of them were up to their
usual standard.

PUBLIC WILL
SOON KNOW
WHO'S WHO

Washington, April Whether Taft,
Roosevelt or someone else will be nom
mattel at Chicago convention and what
influence LaFollette will have in that
meeting what power he
will be able to exert to secure a pro-
gressive platform-will be determined
by the conventions scheduled for early
in April.
The first big fight will come next
Tuesday, in Wisconsin. The States
rs delegates are practically conceded
to LaFollette. Roosevelts managers
are not making a fight there. The
Taft boomers are making only a per-
functory contest but they admit that
Fighting Bob will get all the dele
gates.
The Mormon. Church's position in
the coming fight will be shown On
tee meets. A Taft endorsement is ex-
pected.
On April 9, the Kentucky and YER
mont State conventions are scheduled.
st. Louis ward primaries and the
Pennsylvania Congressional district
primaries will be held April 13. Sew
enty-two of the keystone States rs
delegates will be chosen then The
majority will probably be controlled by
the organization which is at present
friendly to Taft. Other important
dates in the pre-convention fight are:
April Is, Hawaiian conventions; 16,
Connecticut and Delaware conven
tons; II, conventions to select 81 of
the States So delegates in all the IL
linois Congressional districts (unless
the Illinois Legislature provides a pri-
nary; 10, Illinois State convention
and Nebraska and Oregon primaries;
"a, Iowa State convention, 9Th district
in Iowa and the Rhode Island State
and district conventions; 25, Missouri
State conventions; 80, Massachusetts
primaries at which So delegates will
be chosen.
Politicians here will watch the IL
lnois district fights with particular in
terest, believing the result will show
whether there is any truth in the
Roosevelt charge that Taft is now
supporting Lorimer. The Illinois Sem
ator is particularly bitter toward the
Colonel, because of the snub given him
at the Hamilton Club dinner
The Roosevelt boomers are charg-
ing that the administration is exerting
every effort to prevent a vote on the
Lorimer case in the Senate until after
the Illinois contest, in order to enable
~Lorimer to test the string of dele
gates.
The Nebraska and Oregon primaries
are expected to show the LaFollette
Piles and not his personality are the is
sue. Before he goes into these States
on his campaign tour, LaFollette will
announce in detail his Alaskan con-
servation policies.
Whether Roosevelt has made any in
roads on the Cummins strength in
Iowa will be shown on the oath
Taft and Roosevelt headquarters are
awaiting with great interest the ac-
ton of the Ohio Republican commit
tee today on the proposal of Walter
Brown, Roosevelt leader, to adopt a
Presidential preference primary plan.
The Taft leaders are very confident
that the committee will decide to make
no elaborate plans.

with no visitors present and sur

About 8 o'clock Saturday Secretary

| Mckinney strolled into the executive
; offices to look over the bulletins as
. they came in. The two represents

until the bulletins showed the final
result. The President, as stated. did

the vote was being taken. and Mr..
Wilson was the only cabinet ofhcer

ent calls by telephone, though, were
largely from personal friends of the

The President was undecided up to

not know what he would do. He was

knew the definite result.
Assistant Secretary Forster hurried

A ROMANCE OF POLITICS.

In 1896 William J. Bryan, then an
obscure journalist reported the Re-
publican convention in St. Louis for
his newspaper, and two weeks later,
in the Democratic convention at Chi
cago, which he entered as a member
of a contesting delegation, he was
nominated for president. In 1912 he
"covered' the Republican convention
in Chicago for several papers, and is
to be big figure in the Democratic
gathering at Baltimore.
Will 1912 repeat the history of 1896
in respect to Mr.. Bryan? In these
convulsive day. stranger things thar,
this have come to pass. Several con.
siderations should here be kept in
mind. Although the Nebraskan play.
ed the role of mere observer at Chi.
cago. he attracted almost as much at
tention there as did any person in
that assemblage. He n the larges'
figure in the Democratic party today
despite the booms, or attempted
booms, for Clark, Wilson, Underwood
Harmon and others.

man best qualified to give North Da-
kota the kind of business administra-
ton it should have. North Dakota
needs a common sense administration
of it's affairs, and Mr.. Hanna is man
blessed with splendid business capac-
ty and good common sense. In it's
support Of Mr.. Hanna the Tribune has
not found it necessary to abuse or
| misrepresent the opponents OF Mr.
Hanna. 1t has fairly and decently
urged the qualif cations OF Hanna, and
it has no regrets or apologies for it's
part in the campaign. That bitterness
which characterizes the attitude OF
some OF our contemporaries is respon-
sible for the results of the fall CAM
paigns in the past six years. The Tri-
bune, as republican newspaper, does
not care to make capital for the dem
ocrats by campaign of venomous at

maries.
The result of the primaries so far
as a number of the Offices are con-
cerned may not be known for day
or so after the election. This is big
state and the counting of primary bal
lots is slow. There are many candi-
dates and there is some confusion,
and will be as to the counting of first
and second choice votes, for the cast
ing of a second choice ballot is op-
tional with the voter and probably
good many of them will be cast. The
assembling of the vote from the pre-
cincts through the state will take
some time. AS quickly as figures can
be obtained the Tribune will give
them, both by bulletins and in the
newspaper. 1t will endeavor at the
earliest possible moment to give an
accurate forecast of the result

more threatening and issues more i'm;
portant than those of the election
campaign which is to follow between
the two great national parties.
The question here at stake was
whether the republican party was to
change it's attitude as the chief COR.
servatOr in the nation of constitution
al representative government and was
to weaken the constitution guarantees
of life, liberty and property and all
other rights declared sacred in the
bill OF rights, by abandoning the prin-
ciple of the absolute independence of
the judiciary, essential to the main
tenance of those rights. The cam
paign carried on to seize the republi-
can party and make it the instrument
of reckless ambition and the unset
thing of the Fundamental principles of
our government was SO sudden and
unexpected that time was not given
clearly to show to the people and the
party the dangers which confronted
them.

and valuable tradition against giving
more than two terms to any one man
in the presidency and the danger from
it's breach could not be measured.
The Importance of the great victory
which has been achieved cannot be
oyerestimated. All over this country

hot
ace to our republican institution has
been averted.
1T is not necessary, tonight to
speak of the result in November or
of the issues which will arise between
the republican and democratic par
ties in the presidential campaign to
follow. 1t will be time enough to do
that after the action of the Baltimore
convention. 1t is enough now to say
that whatever may happen in Novem-
Der, great victory for the republi-
can party and the people of the Unit
ed States has already been won. The
party remains as great, powerful
organization for carrying out it's patri.
otto principles, as an agency of real
progress in the development of the
nation along the constitutional lines
upon which it was constructed and
has ever been maintained; and it's fu-
ture opportunity for usefulness is as
great as it's achievements in the past"
President Taft declared last night
he was much in favor of having his
secretary, Charles D. Hilles, for the
chairman of the republican national
committee. He expressed a high ap.
probation of Mr.. Hilles' work in the
preconvention campaign.
When asked If he would take the
stump this fall the president replied
he considered it likely that he would.
He was plainly elated at his victory
when the complete results became
known.

CHARlVARI FOR
THE newly WEDS
HOskioS Residence on North
Fourth Street Was Mecca
for MerrymdkerS

Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks HOskins, re.
Gently married, arrived in Bismarck
Monday. Brooks belongs to the Bis.
marck Booster Band. The band boys
are about the best bunch of blow
artists between Butte and Baltimore
The boys decided to serenade the new.
ly-weds last night, especially because
Brooks was one of their number and
an all-around good fellow.
About ten o'clock shadowy forms
were seen smoking up back alleys
Hoskins residence on north Fourth
street. After considerable argument
as to the most appropriate pieces to
play they cut loose. Residents of the
vicinity had forsaken their piazzas,
and retired for the evening. Howev-
er, as the trumpet call of Gabriel will
cause all the dead to arise, so did the
comets blast arouse the dosing ones.
Those who lacked bathrobes and XII
monas "ontented themselves with sit
ting at their windows. More adven-
ticoes. The entire community was
out enjoying the serenade intended
for Mr.. and Mrs. o. Brooks Hoskins.
Soon the sweet strains of music
were waited toward Main street. Two
hack drivers were lazily reclining on
their boxes, when the zephyrs told
them of something doing up Fourth
street. Right away they were off in
a bunch. They had company. People
from near and far gathered to witness
the charivari and enjoy the music.
When the band boys played "How
Dry I AM several of the onlookers
nodded their heads in sympthy and
quietly stole away, with an anticipa-
tive look upon their countenances.
Sometime between eleven o'clock
and midnight the band exhausted it's
repertoire. 1t turned about and
marched down Fourth street, the bass
drum and the clarinet playing duet,
1--WE Won't Go Home Until Morning"
Nearly three quarters of an hour lat
er Mr.. and Mrs. o. Brooks Hoskins
arrived upon the scene. They had
been invited out to spend the even
ing and the charivari was lost upon
them.
