you for the honor conferred and
the confidence shown when you
elected me your State Auditor in

It has been a time honored
democratic custom to give man
a second term when he has pro-
ven worthy and competent; |
am asking this of you now and
an edorsement of what you did
in 1907. My accounts and the
records during my administra-
ton from 1903 to 1912 have been
examined and checked by the
Legislative Investigating Com
mittee and approved.
The Auditors office is your
business Office, and ! will ask
you to apply the same rule that
you would in selecting 4 man q
take charge of your personal
business, and to vote for the
man you know or believe best
fitted and qualified by training
and experience to discharge its
duties in a business way.
If you believe in the old demo-
cratic custom, and believe that |

tent, and have merlted your
support, will be glad to have
it. | have held the office only
one term. Again thanking, you
| am,
Yours faithfully,
E. J. SMITH,

ways seeing the bright side of
everything. That gift will be
more to her than beauty, or riches,
or honors. It is not so much a

as what one sees with them. There
is bright side to everything, if
people only knew it, and the best
eyes are those which are always
able to see this bright side"

of the school, were presented by
Dean Robinson to twenty-five wo-

the enthusiasm which the Frank

which they display in urging other
communities to take advantage Of
the same opportunities.

POLI'S.

The production Of Augustus Thomas
unusual drama, LAS a Man Thinks" by
the Poll Players this week. serves to
introduce Robert Lowe. a Washington
Ian. In the leading role and to give the
Poll patrons a feeling Of regret that
before. In the part of DR.. Seelig, physi-
clan. around whom the action of the
play revolves. MIR. Lowe gave an un-
usual performance. The part was orig
tnally played by John Mason, and has
been reckoned one oc that actors
strongest creations. Mr.. loves inter-
probation of the character was quite in
keeping with the manner in which Ma
son developed 1t originally. but there
was an individuality to the Washington
ians performance which served to
stamp 1t as his own and not in any
sense an imitation.
The story Of "As a Man Thinks" de-
velops from the difficulties between
Frank Clayton and his wife. resulting
from the husbands neglect and the
wife's thoughtlessness. Through the in
been saved from the divorce court once,
but when the wife foolishly visits the
apartment of former sweetheart there
seems to be nothing that can save the
family. DR.. Seelig again comes to the
rescue and brings order out OF the do
mestic chaos.
In the cast supporting Mr.. Lowe the
most consistent performance was given
by Helen Tracey In the part Of Mrs.
