choice Of the National committee for

ic National convention. Nineteen Of
the delegates voted for this action, in

had been mentioned as candidate
against Judge Alton B. Parker for the

Mr.. James endeavored to secure
postponement of q vote, insisting it
would be improper TO "Blindfold" the
delegation by such vote. After his
motion to postpone action was defeat

an immortality that will be as lasting
as that now held by its famous pre-
decessors of the last forty years. In
its wide popular appeal this gem OF
Vieneese composition has duplicated
the profound success which attended
Arms and the Man," the famous
from which the story Of "he Choco-
late Soldier" is derived. And to its
vogue among the millions whose mu-

esteem in which the superb little OPP

biters OF musical opinion everywhere.
IL represents the high-water mark of
Strauss career; his exquisite embodi-
ment of the romantic note in Shaw's
whimsical tale in dazzling. passionate

delicious melodies into movement

fit the element OF satire and sarcasm
which Shaw has infused into the story
of his quixote hero, are nothing short
Of miracles. In his hands music is a

speech to the national conference OF

ent-day evangelist becomes SO tangled
up with boosters and hymnbook

And yet, at the very meeting at

The increase in the population has

OF course. the commercial spirit has
crept in here and there.
