New Z PoIIucs

Things DO not always go in politics
as we want them nor as we have SET
tied in our minds they ought to go.
There were q good many of US who be-
lieved that when Sulzer was impeach-
ed and removed from office of Govern
or it would be the end Of "Billo Sulzer
politically. Well, he turned up in the
Mayoralty campaign as a very strong
factor. He has just completed a trip
through the State in support of his
own candidacy for Governor in the
new direct primaries. Now, looking
things in the face. and trying TO deter
mine them as they are and not rs we
would like them TO be, the fact is that
be has uncovered q strength that really
lie surprising to the philosophic observer
who takes count of things be. sees
rather than Of what he desires, Sulzer
says that he is going to be elected.
Well, be is naturally inclined to be
optimistic, and 1t is easy for q man
a candidate-to be misled by what he
sees when he is making a campaign.
He only sees or comes into contact
with those who are in close sympathy
with his cause, hears only the most
r0seate reports, and concludes that
what he does see is wholly representa-
tive Of all. Having had no little ex-
perience in this matter of campaign
ing. | am disposed to take this optim-
ism of Sulzer with q few pinches of
salt, but the fact is that his trip through
the State has discovered q strength
that is giving a great deal Of uneasiness
to the Democratic leaders. With Sui
ger I am disposed to believe that when
Roosevelt comes to know this Eulzer
strength he will be less inclined to put
his fortunes to the test IN New York
State than even he was when he sailed
away to Spain. And yet there is a
reaction in favor of Roosevelt
Said q man who is a fair representa-
tive of his class. a mechanic who is not
in organized labor, and who supported

mated Roosevelt. 1t Is true that
Roosevelt talked a good deal and ag-
itated a good deal, but, after all, he
made 1t easy for US to do business on a
fair plane and to do a good deal Of it.
Now we are having the heart Of us cut

Emlly Smiley At DE Fern Thsssre

Saturday, June 81, is the date set by
Manager Stanford for the opening of
the stock season at the Fern Theatre,
with Wildwood 3 favorite actress, EN-
lily Smiley, and her clever company of
players. This will be Miss Smlley's
eleventh season at the head OF a local
stock company and her name has be-
come q household word in Wildwood.
Prominent in Miss Smiley's support
are Virginia Hennings and Earle I.
Western, both great local favorites and
both without q peer in their particular
line of work.
Manager Charles P. 6hisler Of the
Fern has been extremely busy the
past three weeks getting the new home
Of the Emily Smiley players ready for
them. The stage has been completely
equipped and q new and successful
cooling system has been installed
which will make the Fern "the coolest
spot on the beach,
Miss 6miley's opening play will be
.'GT'ths Girl From Out YondsT.n 1t is
a drama Of the sea, thrilling and real
istic. It's scenes are laid on the coast
of Maine and it's story concerns the
life of the keeper of q light on q lonely
part of the coast and his little daugh-
ter, Flotsam. Flotsam, atthe opening
Of the play, is eighteen years old and
has known no life save that spent at
the lighthouse or at the little village
on the mainland . few miles away.
Flotsam has no education but she can
sail Q boat like an ancient mariner and
1t is on an occasion when she has taken
q sailing party from q swell club on
the mainland out In her boat, that che
rescues Mrs. Elmer, q New York soci-
ETY. woman, from drowning and incl
IDENTIFY falls In love with her adopted
son, Edward. Edward returns her
love and decides to educate her and
make q lady of her. Poor Flotsam
makes a sorry business Of the lessons
at first, as she thinks more Of playing
with her pet turtle and loving her dad
than she does OF grammer or arithme-
tic, but when her father is arrested for
q crime be thinks he committed, but
Of which he is innocent, Flotsam sud-
denly grows up and tells her father
that she will tend the light all the
years be is In prison and will be
there waiting for him when he returns.
There is a pretty love story running
through the plot and the comedy is
quaint and delicious. The characters
are all flesh and blood men and wo-
men; the scenes are characteristic OF
the locality and comprise q swell
yacht club on the coast of Maine and
the interior and exterior Of a light
house q few miles from the mainland.
Miss Smiley will be seen as Flotsam
o part eminently suited to her talents
aDd her supporting gast- vii be the
strongest ever seen at this resort.
The play will be staged with all at
tention to detail, a complete scenic
production being painted, under the
direction of Maurice Stanford.
