POLI's

One of the most important happen ings in stock productions that Bridge port has had in some time will be the presentation of '"The Commuters by the Poli Players next week. It was written by James Forbes author or "The Travelling Salesman" and '"The Chorus Lady and was one of : the
 most successful ventures of the late Henry B. Harris during the last year.
 The subject of '4The Commuters" IS well told in it's title. The play de- picts some of the phases of life of the Lonesomehursts about thirty miles out of New York, and while the locality does not require much imagination to place it, it is not named. Also the play tells the story of the wife who has husband who retains a bachelor friend. A bachelor friend, indeed, IS the cause of it all, and is responsible for many of thea amusing situations. aMr.-A. S. Byron will .porfray the lead- ing comedy role of Sammy Fletcher, the bachelor friend. MT. Wilson Mel rose will. be seen as MT. Price, the husband, with Miss Starr cast oppO- site to him as his wife. The other members of the company will be con- genially cast.

The candidacy OF Addison r.
Smith for the republican nomina-
ton for congress IL being looked on
with growing favor In this section
OF the state. The fact ie well es-
tablishcd In the minds OF the peo-
pie that for a congressional repre-
sentative to be able to do effective
work for his constituents he must
have two qualifications In addition
TO whatever natural ability he may
possess and they are acquaintance
and influence. both of which will
be lacking in a new member and
without which little can be accom-
plished In spite of any particular
sbility one might possess. The long
acquaintanceship Mr.. Smith has viii
older members OF congress. his nc-
Quaintance with the heads of de-
partments and his familiarity with
the workings Of those departments,
his acquaintance with the needs OF
the. people of southern Idaho, all
make him a logical candidate. He
would be able to accomplish more II
M term than would a man new To

twice the time. IT behooyes the
voters OF the republican party oi
