TO NOMINATE
BY PRIMARIES
Preferential Primary Bill Finally
Passed Early Sunday
Morning

With clocks set back, both Houses of
the Legislature sat until nearly 30 o'clock
Sunday morning. rushing through bills
that but for the long fight on local OPP
tion would have been passed two weeks
ago.
BY unanimous vote Of the members
of the House, both Democrats and Re-
publicans. the Harper Presidential Pri-
mary bill went through the House to its
final passage. That the bill. which
passed the Senate last Tuesday night,
will be signed by the Governor and be-
come a law is foregone conclusion.
By the measure the choice of the voter
for the Presidential nominee of his
party is registered by the county and
Legislative districts as the unit. That is
to say. each of the % counties of Mary
land and each of the four Legislative
district of Baltimore City will vote for
delegates to the State Convention. who
will carry out the preferences of the
voters for the Presidential nominee in
selecting delegates to the national
convention.
1t is provided that the voter in the
primaries can Indicate his choice either
for any Presidential candidate whose
name is on the ballot or for an unin-
structed delegation. This will give Taft
and Roosevelt an equal chance on the
Republican end. and Wilson. Harmon.
Clark. Underwood or any other candi-
date an equal chance on the Democratic
side. Each candidate for President
whose name appears on the ballot de-
posits $40 for each unit, or s27O in the
State as a whole.
While the Presidential primary pro-
position is an entirely new one, and
neither political party in Maryland was
especially anxious for it. not feeling
assured of the results to be obtained,
the credit of passing ii in the House
should be divided among the representa-
tives of both parties who were willing
to go on record for something in the
way of legislation. 1t is only due the
politicians to state that the measure
could not have passed without their CO.
operation in the final analysis.

"PoIIy Of the Circus"

Notwithstanding the very unfavor-
able weather conditions last night, the
Colonial Theatre was filed to its ut
most capacity with an appreciative
audience to witness the production of
"Polly of the Circus" The story is
one familiar to all. Charming, fasci-
mating, petite Polly, the "circus ridin'
girl" is born of a generation of circus
folk, and when her mother, the great
est rider of her day, dies victim of
her own ambition, Polly is left alone.
But she is not without friends, for
big Jim," the boss canvasman, with
a great big heart as generous as the
breadth of his shoulders, and uncle
Toby's" pathetic devotion to their
ward, is one OF the most charming
touches of the story with its atmos-
phere of sawdust and tinsel. Her
mothers spirit lives in her and she
becomes her worthy successor as a
star of the sawdust ring. The reck-
less abandon Of her riding brings her
to grief. She falls from the back of
her horse and is carried to the par
sonage nearby, and there is set the
combination of Mandy, the motherly
old colored housekeeper; the manly,
susceptible young parson, John Doug
lass; the fascinating little GONZALES
cent; the well-meaning but narrow
church folks, and Polly's parents"
who want her back with the circus
all pulling wires that makes Polly Of
the Circus" an appealing story from
beginning to end.
The production last night was good.
Miss ST. Leon in the role of Polly
was fine and held the sympathy of her
audience from the first to the last cur
tain. Her support in the main was
good, but Mr.. Newsome in the part
of the minister, on whom so much
depended. was great disappoint-
ment. He had neither the appearance,
the voice nor the bearing the part de-
manded.
The play is full of human interest
and one of the best OF its class on the
road The audience last night was
well pleased and the warmest praise
for the production was heard on every
side.
