SACRAMENTO, Cal. May H. California's first trial of the presi- dential preference primary scheme is bringing out big vote today. and women as well as male voters are manifesting lively interest in ex- pressing their choice for standard bearers in the coming national cam paign The Golden State promises to be hard fought battle-ground to- day for the republicans, as it is a three -cOrnered race between Taft, La Toilette and Roosevelt. with the sup porterS of each claiming victory Roosevelt is d slight favorite among those to whom the contest is a sporting matter. but it is admitted that all three have a chance and that the race is likely to be close.
 Senator La Toilette has made an aggressive campaign and Mrs La Toilette has helped with the women voters. The La Toilette and Roosc- welt men have been at swords points and Rudolph Spreckles and other La Toilette boomers have engaged in heated verbal warfare with the pro- gressives who deserted the Wiscon- sin senator to throw the colencIs bat into the California ring Pre- dictions take a wide range. but ap- parentlv d majority of unprejudiced observers think the delegation will be split between the warning candi- dates, with Roosevelt probably having the major portion.

MUSICAL TREAT FOR
TULSANS THURSDAY
HNEtHKN CLUB TO BRING ENI-
NENT SOLOISTS TIi\NkSGIN-
ING NIGHT.

In annomcinI the appearance at
the Grand opera House ON Thanks
giving night of Harry Evans, the clui-
nent English baritone, eight years
principal soloist ana master Of tho
Choristcrs of Southwark Cathedral;
professor Of singing with the Metro
politan Acadamy of Music, London,
the Hyechla club Of Tulsa has a eight
to feel that it is comforting favor
on Tulsa citizens.
Harry Evans was looked upon as q
boy prodigy, for at the age Of twelve
he had sung the soprano SOLOS, With
the greatest artists as other pril-
cipals, at the great music festivals 50
famous in England, such as Bach j
Passion Music, Mcndelossohn's Eii-
Jah, Handles Mcssain. lIaydn's Area
tion, etc.
During his career Mr. Evans has
had the honor of singing before many
Of the British Royal Family, includ-
ing the late King Edward VII ana
the present King and Queen. He was
commanded to sing for the Corona
tion Of King George V at Westminls-
ter Abbey last year, for which SER
vices he received the special honor of
the Kings Coronation Decoration.
He has the great ability to tell IN
few words what the music he is u
interpret Means, then to sing the
melody or portray the character in
hand In i manner that the school boy,
the business man and the most de
manding critics are equally enthusi-
astic in their applause.
