GOVERNORS LOSE
INTEREST IN TEDDY

Washington, April 6.-Two of
the original "Roosevelt governors"
have quietly slipped off the band
wagon, and no longer raise their
clarion voices in behalf Of the Colo
mel. They discovered early in the
campaign that only one man can be
chosen for vice president, and when
they became satisfied that they were
not the eolonel's fayorite, they did
the expected thing.
An experienced politician who
was in Washington when the gov
ernors made their appeal to Colonel
Roosevelt made this prediction.
Each one of those seven governors
wants to be Roosevelt's running
mate. Az soon as they find out
they are not likely TO have the colo
nel's indorsement, they will subside
and their interest in the Roosevelt
candidacy will wane. The time will
come when each one of the seven
will cease to clamor for Roosevelt's
nomination" And it begins to look
Az though that perdiction would
come true.
Governor Carey of Wyoming was
/ the first governor to ssbackslide.o
The Columbus speech was too much
for him; he knew it would not go
down with the people of Wyoming,
and as Carey has hopes of succeed
ing Senator Warran in the senate,
he lost no time in dropping the
Roosevelt agitation after the colo
mel had declared for the recall of
/ judicial decisions.
Next came Governor Osborn of
Michigan, than whom there was no
more boisterous shouter for RooHe-
welt. Osborn was an acriden /
governor, and having obtained that
distinction by chance, he was
anxious To gamble on the vice-presi-
dency. Osborn was one of the first
governors to let it be known he
wanted to run Oh the ticket with
Roosevelt. Evidently he has heard
something that has convinced him
be cannot be nominated for the
vice presidency, for when Roose-
welt was in Michigan last week Gov
ernor Osborn sought out . secluded
spot and stayed there till the colo
mel had passed. He pleaded import
ant business before the legislature,
but az the legislature was in recess
i and would not re-convene for four
days, his excuse was slim.

F. O'Neil, former president of the
State Bank of Commerce of Wal

city jail tonight, where he was tax
en- following the decision of Judge
Grant that he should be extradited
to the United States to stand trial
for violation Of the banking laws of
Idaho and embezzling the funds of

MISS CHERIDAH SIMPSON IN
MADAME SHERRY, TUESDAY.
JANUARY 10th.

Not very much Of the story Of
Madame Sherry" is revealed in
the advance announcements.
Mainly the thread Of musical and
other incidents of this big musl-
cal success concern a young New
York unmarried man-about-
town, sowing his wild oats on
money sent him by an uncle who
believes his nephew married and
the father of two children. The
uncle Unexpectedly pays a visit
to the studio Of the nephew who.
to support his story of domestic
ity. is forced to gather unto him
self a family. He presses his
very unpatrician housekeeper into
service to pass as his wife, and
gets his own sweetheart to pass
as one Of his children and an adult
guest in his home to answer as his
son.
It is from the comic embarrass-
ments growing out Of this first sit
uation that the fun Of the piece
begins. OF course attendant mis-
adventures consequent upon the
frst deception follow one another
throughout the play. The main
love interest is introduced at the
very outset with the arrival of
the uncle, who brings relative
with him in the person of Yvonne
Sherry, a young maid just out
Of a convent.
It develops that the sweetheart
OF the young man-about-to town
turns tickle anil falls in love with
the guest passing as her brother,
a plight that opens the way for
the mischievously scheming ne
phew and the visiting convent
girl to become sweethearts. which
they do in what is declared to be
one of the oldest ways in the
world.
Incidentally, it is the love Of
the convent girl and the nephew
that introduced into the play as
a love theme the air of the pro-
duction. "Ev'ry Little Movement
Has A Meaning All It's Own, that
is now fast becoming a popular
number all over the world.

these matters are to receive any
attention whatever, it will be /,
