EarIe's Bid a Strong One.

To the Editor OF The Times:
May a voter who believes In inde-
pendence in local politics. rather than
in machine politics In public business.
state what seems TO be good and sur
ficient reasons why Horatio 8. Earle's
candidacy for the position OF mayor
deserves respect and support?
/. Mr. Earle, II elected. will not
reappoint Jacob Haarer as commits
sioner OF public works. wherein Mr..
Haarer has distinguished himself as
a political manipulation, rather than
as a competent oficial.
2. Mr.. Earle refuses to withdraw
as candidate for mayor, In favor OF
Oscar b. Marx, and thus refuses TO
become a party TO a political bargain,
n serious result OF which-if success
ful-would be to give Mr.. Haarer an
other term as commissioner of public
works.
3. Mr.. Earle will reappoint Police
Commissioner Croul.
BY his declared attitude against
Haarer and for Croul, Mr.. Earle takes
strong stand for cleanness and e.
flciency in public affairs.
Respectfully.
INDEPENDENT.

Are You Sure, Mr.. cIementa

ARC NOu outCf StGUfCUhA
To the Editor OF The Times:
Having noted your untiring efforts
In the past weeks TO convince your
readers. a large number Of whom are
working people, that to support or
vote for a candidate for president
other than Woodrow Wilson, would
be pure folly, l feel inclined to ASA
a question or two.
The Times OF Sept q reports a
speech which Gov. Wilson made in
Fall River, Mass, in which he de-
plores the fact that the law does not
recognize the workingman's right TO
organize for his own protection, ard
he also said he thought they should
have the legal right TO organize, etc.
Now what | would like to ask Is
this: When did Wilson change his
opinion. or has he really changed 1t!
And what will his opinion be after
election, II he is elected?
| ask this because this same man
in Baccalaureate address before the
graduating class OF Princeton univers.
ity, June Is, 1909. little more than
three years ago, expressed directly
opposite view of the matter by saying
that the standard set by the labor
union Is to give as little as they may
for their days pay and keep produc-
ton down to a minimum. thus max
Ing themselves very Improbable, AMI
adding that our economic suprcmAc,
may be lost by the increase in NUN
bers of these Improbable servants.
Can you explain how one person
can entertain both these views on one
subject at the same time?

LYRIC THEATER.

To plunge from the stage of the popular Lyric theater into the At lantie ocean is some jump. but that seemingly impossible feat is accom- plished by Bannisher and Wizard. now appearing for the first time in Hot Springs. These very talented artists have an offering, that for unique and novel variety has never been excelled here. Bannisher, as the down east Yankee life saver, is a riot, His at tenuated form lends comedy feature to the offering that could only be supplied by dame nature.
 The curtain goes up and reveals a beach scene, with pier and bath houses on either side. After an ex- change of droll witticlsms they f. nally plunge in the ocean and by a lightning change the balance of the turn is shown in motion picture. with the two artists in the same cos tune going through some Of the most Imaginable stunts imaginable 'rne picture is so perfect that it is real ism personified and delighted and crowded audience appIauded to the echo
 Er Mey is one of the most ac- complished equilibrists and gymnasts ever seen here His work is easy and graceful and his balancing stunt on four billiard cues must be seen to be properly appreciated.
 The motion pictures are extremely good. One especially bein power ful and exciting story entitled "An Interrupted Wedding" in which beautiful scenery and strong sihia- tions are blended

Amusements
AT THE PRINCESS.

Ii would be quite impossible to tell which act was the more worthy of the five that are on the Princess bill the first half of the week. and during both shows last evening it seemed, judging by the reception that was ac- corded the respective artists. that the Princess had discarded vaudeville and was running a popular stock com. pany, for there was roasing, royal hand for each one
 The Smith Brothers open the show. They are billed as the College Boys and the Fashion Plates of Polite Vaudeville and they certainly looked the part. But an act in these days of progressive vaudeville cannot be expected to get along on looks, and. therefore. these young men with the educated feet proceeded to put some thing over in the line of dancing quite different from any effort in this respect that other dancing teams had attempted. and from the applause that they received they more than made good in the estimation and opinion of the audience.
 The Knickerbocker Four brought forth quartet that delighted all not alone by their selection of numbers, but by the melodious, harmonic blending of their voices. They ap- peared in evening dress and offered an act that. at it's conclusion, brought them before the curtain for just one more song.
 There was roar of applause when John and Winnie Hennings appeared. This popular team needed no further evidence of their popularity here. John had a new song, Nobody Loves skinny Guy" but they loved him after the song, and another foolish concoction, which he admitted was without rhyme or reason, was a screaming success His dancing has never been equaled, much less sur passed in the eccentric style, in this city In fact, it is doubtful of there is a more natural or funny comedian, or a better eccentric dancer on the stage today than this same John Hennings, and his charming little wife is the one thing necessary to make happiness and their act com. plete.
 Dear Old Cal Stewart, more popu lar than ever. with the same knife the same good humor and the same great. hearty laugh guaranteed il every story got great welcome and he did not disappoint his friends His act is the same decided, emphatic success as of yore.
 Has Stephens has no business in vaudeville. He should be starring at the head of his own company. He brought to the Princess the most stupendous and complete production for one act in the history of the house His impersonations were artistically rendered. He gave won derful presentation of several char acters and his work was that of a finished artist The present bill has not been excelled this season, and those who miss it let go by an op- portunity of seeing the acme of vaudeville

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

The straw vote by the New York
Herald, published Monday, indi-
Gates that Governor Wilson is still
in the lead, With Colonel Roosevelt
second and gaining some votes as
the result OF the recent attack on
him in Milwaukee, but apparently
not enough to endanger Governor
Wilson's present lead. President
Taft shows up third, but making
steady gains in many parts of the
country. These relative positions
have been held from the beginning
OF the straw vote several weeks
ago.
The Herald's 200, 900 test ballots
from all sections of the country show
that Wilson received $4,000 votes ;
Roosevelt $4,000; Taft 5000, and
Debs $4,000. With the fight now
entering it's final stages the ques-
ton arises whether or not the same
relative percentages may be counted
on. If so, then Governor Wilson
will sweep the country. In the
thirty-tree States polled Governor
Wilson led in twenty six, Colonel
Roosevelt in five and President Taf
in two.
The sober mind of the American
citizen cannot fail to recognize il
Governor Wilson a safe and san,
leader. II the people wish to Civ,
credit to whom credit is due, the,
cannot fail to support the Democrat
ic ticket, Presidential candidat
and Congressional candidate a
well, and thus place their stamp {
approval on the record of the Hous
OF Representatives. Since Januar
l, 1912, a Democratic House hs
passed tariff bills which would ha,
reduced the high cost of livir
$3.50, 100000 a year. Every b
which in the slightest degree pr
vded relief for the masses was V
toed by President Taft.
