THE WORLDS FAIR
 STOCK COMPANY

A more delightful play or a more finished performance is rarely ever seen than that put on by Mrytle Vane and the Worlds Fair Stock Company at the Teller theatre last evening.
 Sweet Clover" was the bill pre- sented It is portrayal of life that is extremely interesting; Miss Vane played the role of Lois Holcomb in a mighty clever manner, her interpre- tation being perfect in every manner. This clever lady is star of geat mag nitude and could easily grace the lead ing roles in any New York production. Her mannerisms are extremely capti- vating, and her voice so smooth and sweet that she immediately endears herself to all her hearers.
 The support rendered by the differ ent members of the Worlds Fair Stock Company left nothing to be desired.
 The difficult roles were handled in an admiable manner, that of Eldridge Grosvenor (Verne Layton) calling for an actor of force and character which was we'll supplied by this young man who proves to be of exceptional abil- ty in his profession.
 Mention must also be made of the manner in which Bert Hadley played the part of Albert Slade It was fault less.
 The play is one of the strongest 'eart-touching vehicles of the age and wherever played makes immediate and asting friends. Life's story can in no way be told so we'll as in a drama of his nature with no unreal scenes or impossible conditions. The time pie .ure is the present. To each class of neople it appeals in different way md thus is it's popularity earned
 Sweet Clover" teaches a grea, les 9on to all.
 Tonight these people will present David Belasco's great masterpiece: The Charity Ball." This play is con- eded to be a classic in it's sphere Miss Yane will be in one of her pet )arts while all the other members of he company will be cast in parts ;uited to their best ability. A splen- lid opening with good plays and real ,ctors is undoubtedly the cause of the of approval heard on all sides.

 aminer). Extend congratulations to
 Roosevelt republicans on organizing
 of Yuma branch of nation wide Roose- welt clubs. Success will attend our efforts in the coming struggle for oeo- ples rule.
 The campaign for the nomination of the republican candidate for the presidency has now proceeded far enough to render it as certain as any future event can be, the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt at Chicago next June. Readings of the political bar ometer in republican states from the state of Maine to Oregon all point un- mistakably to that result Political weather stations from the Atlantic to the Pacific agree in their prognosti- cations. There is no longer justifica. tion for the least mental reservation in predicting the overwhelming nomi- nation of Colonel Roosevelt on the first ballot, if indeed the contest goes as far as the ballot stage, it will not ba at all surprising to see if the nomina- tion shall be by exclamation. To any, one who gives even reasonably close attention to the political development of recent days the situation must Le thoroughly clear. It is apparent to all that the big bulk of the delegates that are claimed by the managers of Taft candidacy comes from the Southarn States, which have not cast an elector- al vote for a republican since the days of the reconstruction, the votes of the of the north has been over
