They made this estimate because
in all the other states the Rcpubli-

mia, Utah and West Virginia, where
the vote between the Republicans
and Democrats was evenly split, the
Republicans declared that they would
have taken at least one-half tho cleo

They said that on the count of
electoral votes President Wilson
would have received 2%2 and the Re

insisted that the final figures void

In this design we have 4 single
breasted raglan coat with two large
patch pockets, Il mannish collar and
revers and the favored flare at the
bottom. 1t is quite fad this season
TO make these coats in waterproof
material; tweeds, homespuns and
ether coating stuffs often are faced
with a thin rubber and others are
put through process which makes
them rainproof. This is very prac-
tical idea as many OF us can not
afford to have more than one top
coat. This design could be suitably
made up in any of the foregoing ma
terials or If desired, for more dressy
purposes, could be made up in cloth
and fine serge or gabardipe, the patch
pockets being omitted. This coat
may be copied in size sc, with 3Hs
yards of 42.inch material. These coat
ing materials all average AZ inches
in width, while many Of them are as
wide as 81 inches. In price, they
range from $1.50 yard and lip. The

ACTORS JUST HAPPEN.-'.Acting in
my opinion" says David Warfield, lis the
most inscrutable Of all the arts. If a
man tells you he knows how it is done. he
is wrong He does not know, nor does he
know what it is The mere following Of
the lines Is not acting. 1t rests with the
actors personality, his spontaneity. or
whatever you choose to call 1t, and to
achieve that quality 1t Is not sufficient for
an actor to know how another man would
act under different circumstances: he
must know how he, himself, would act.
Great acting is purely personal matter
in a sense.

bring out character. Otherwise. actors

At the Columbia Theater. beginning to-
morrow night, James K. Hackett will pre-
sent the popular stage version of THE
Grain of Dust" the novel by the late
David Graham Philips. which has been
made into a play. especially for Mr..
Hacketts use, by Louis Evan Shipman.
THE Grain of Dust" has proven sue
cessful in Mr., Hacketts hands, and is
now being played in it's third season. 1t
is said Mr. Shipman has skillfully adapt
ed the story for the purposes of stage
representation, and while he has to a
great extent followed the book, closely, he
has not hesitated to introduce original
matter to make it more forcible from a
dramatic viewpoint.
A slight outline of the play will indicate
its possibilities Frederick Norman Is
a young New York lawyer who has rap
idly risen to the head of his profession.
and is highly respected and trusted by his
own firm Of corporation attorneys. He
knows how to draft plan that will take
millions from the public and deposit them
safely and legally in the strong box of
the interests" He becomes engaged to
Josephine Burroughs. daughter Of one of
his firms principal clients and a noted
financier.
To prove that Glove is blind" Norman,
in spite of the fact that his marriage to
the wealthy mans daughter would bring
him still greater prosperity and power,
succumbs to the charms of a pretty
stenographer who works in his office. He
breaks off his engagement with the So
ciety leader and marries the typewriter.
thus making an enemy of the financier,
and at the same time losing his enviable
position with the firm. Things go badly
for a time. but eventually he again be-
comes powerful. and has his enemy, the
wealthy Burroughs, at his mercy.
In Mr.. Hacketts support this season
