MAYOR CLAYTON LOSES
Third Term Candidate in St. Joseph Is
Defeated.

St Joseph. Mo. April 3.-After the
defeat of the entire Democratic ticket
had been conceded here, two candidates
for reelection, Treasurer George H
Wyatt and Police Judge ]. T. Alice
were found to have been victorious, the
former for the fourth time and the
latter for the third.
A. P Clayton, Democratic mayor,
was defeated in his efforts to get u
third term by Q. A. Pfeiffer, Republican
whose majority was 1857. The issues
upon which the campaign was won
were charges of inef1eiency. extrava-
gance and lax methods against the adj
ministration, charges which the Demo-
cratic orators made little attempt TO
refute.
Attacks upon the public service cor
porations were the feature of the Dem
ocratic campaign.
The strong Socialist showing was d
feature of the result, candidate
missing election by a narrow margin.
Personalities entered into the campaign
to a large extent and no newspa per
support was accorded the administra-
ton. The new mayor will find himself
opposed by a Democratic council, the
holdover majority being solidIy of that
party

Rapid action, experience teaches, is
what the great majority of theater-
goers want. When a play contains this
dramatic virtue, and in addition Is
plausible enough to carry conviction,
that is, to make one forget the make
believe of the theater, it's success is as
sured Never from the time the manu-
script of THE Deep Purple reached
the Office of Liebler & Co., its pro-
ducers, has any doubt been felt of its
popular triumph. 1t deals with inter
esting people, the denizens of New
York's underworld, in an absorbing and
realistic manner. The petty CRAFTS IF
these crooks furnish amusement, their
bigger games strong scenes and tense
