SELLS-FL0TO COMING.
(,From Mondays Daily.

William Haines, contracting agent
of the Sells-Floto circus, IS in town
today. Mr.. Haines has come in ad-
vance of the show in order that sup
plies necessary for their engagement
here, which is on Friday, May "a,
shall be ready to be delivered just as
soon as the first section of this popu-
lar circus makes its appearance.
1t would be repeating an old story
now to endorse the Sells-Floto people
as among the very best purveyors of
attractive amusement visiting this
city. For many years they have been
coming back to us with an attraction
more important in every way than
those which preceded it. For the
last three years they have adopted
the policy OF cutting the regular price
in half, while at the same time they
have augmented and strengthened
their show from every standpoint.
Mr. Haines promises that this sea
SON the performance of the Sells-Flo-
to circus will in every way be worthy.
Many new and startling features have
been added to the program. among
them some which have been import
ed from Europe at considerable ex-
pense
The prices this year will remain as
formerly Twenty-Five cents admits
TO the circus and menagerie in its en-.
tirety.

"rIsE SEVEN LITTLE GovERNons.r

'"THs SEVEN LITTLE GOVERNORS"
AIr. Roosevelts letter O. acceptance
was addressed to seven Governors.
These he described as, the lncn
elected By popular vote to stand as
tho heads Of government in their
several States" These Governors were:
Hadley, of Missouri: Glasscock, OF
West Virginia; Aldrich, OF Nebraska {:
Bass. OF New Hampshirc; Carey, OF
Wyoming; Osborn. of Michigan: ana
Stubs, of Kansas.
As a candidate for Governor, Hndley
polled 855,o32 votes to Taft's 347, 2o3
cilasscocli roiled i3o,sO7 to Taft's 49,
dse. Aidrich poned l22.Sss 10 Taft's
1897. Bass polied 44.e08 to Tufts
56,l4s. Carey poiled 2l.oss to Tnfts
20,s46. Osborn polled 2O2,Se2 to Tafts
sS5.5sO. Stubs policd l62.ISl 10
Taft's 1926. In these seven States
as whole. Taft polleN 1S0.ieo more
votes than tho seven Governors. He
ran behind only IN Wyoming. where
Curey's name was on the Democratic
ticket, and In Missouri, normally
Democratic State. In al the Ave Re-
publican states he received moro votes
than the Governors.
1t Is with good reason that the
World asks: "Wly should anybody as
sumo that the seven little Governors
who polled fewer votes than TAFT are
more representative OF Republican
sentiment than the President"
Another fact. too. should be taken in
to consideration. Governors do not
always. represent the sentiment OF the
pcoplc-tcf their respective States with
references TO national politics. In
South Carolina. for example, ti!o peo-
pie are Internationally favoring one
candidate for tho Democratic nomina-
ton while their erratic Governor
fuvors one who has practically no
popular following. The Governor OF u
State does not always mirror tho
political sentiment OF the people he
governs.
