red August 3.

With ideal weather reported from
every section of the state today, the
second primary of the 1915. political
campaign promises to bring out
bigger number of votes than had been
predicted a week ago.
In Forrest county, this is no eX-
ception. From each of the 16 voting
precincts at O'CLOCK this afternoon,
the number OF ballots cast had eX-
ceeded by far the expectation of the
politicians and the candidates. The
quiet work of the office seekers in
seeing to it that everybody went to
the places today, had its effect. 1t is
not likely that the number of ballots
cast today will fall very far below the
total vote cast at the first primary
three weeks ago.
The ballot boxes were opened at 8
o'clock this morning and will remain
remain open until 6 o'clock this eve
ming. The great jam and rush which
marked the closing hours of the
first primary will be missing
today The ballot being voted is
shorter anod simpler by far than the
first one, and the voters are requiring
but few seconds to check the names
of their favorites, hand the folded tick
ct to the election managers, and move
on to let some one else vote.

News of the Labor Unions
Mouie Operators

r. j. Waddington, recording secretary
of Denver Local No. go. Moving Pic
ture Machine Operators Union, sends
the following interesting news to The
Bulletin:
Just n few words to let you know
there is still Moving Picture Machine
Operators Union in Denver. and at pres
ent ON the rise, having unionized several
of the suburban houses in the last
month. Also the most important OF all,
the United States thcater in the movie
row." or Curtis street district. has re-
opened with union help.
As YOU are aware union labor made
strong fight to unionize this house on
two previous occasions and was turned
down flat This time, however. Mr.
Painter, the new manager, came to the
operators and musicians and said he de.
sired the house to open on the fair list.
He made contracts with both locals and
opened throughout with union labor and
is worthy the patronage of union men
ana women.
The Princess and Colonial theaters
employ union help throughout.

Stage Employees

We are always interested in the fire
department. Roy Hilton saw Chief Healy
beating il down Larimer street at his
usual clip. and so absorbed was he in
the magnificent burst of speed by our
dare devil chief that he did not see or
hear street car No. 236. 1t hit him a
good blow, and now ''Whistle" journeys
through life looking like the rear end OF
cyclone with piece OF dust in its
eye. Absolutely sober, but unfortunate.
Show business generally is much i'm
proved in Denver lately and the mana
gers are letting up some on their hard
time kicks. This should be good in
dicator for other lines of business and
should mean larger number OF people
working.
The u. S. picture theater is open and
running with real union operators and
musicians. This will be good news to
all union people and their friends. and,
best of all, the picture programs are
good. In fact we have been regular
patrons since it opened and think the
attractions are elegant; good. live stuff
that just makes you sit through the
whole show and then wish there was
more to come.
George Elsperman, the Indiana midget,
was SICK all last week IOr one WhOle
day. We don't know the reason; we
have not tried to find out, but hope it
will not happen again.
He has gone-baggage, flat stuff, and
everything. 1t required four twenties
and wheelbarrow to haul the first
load. Joe Van Camp, born and grown
up in the show business, is now, while
yet at tender age, farmer out on
the prairie beyond Fort Morgan. We
know he will make good, for Joe is too
good property man to fall down on
just plain farming, and all we hope now
is that the Morgan Transfer Company
and the local crew will handle his stuff
expeditiously but with proper care. Give
him 4 clear stage; he carries everything,
and it's some production.
Now that the Empress is running only
three days Il week, our boy scout man
ager has moved to the country again.
We cannot exactly understand his mo-
tive, but believe it is to get away from
the noise of the city to retreat where
he can enjoy his peaceful slumber un-
disturbed for "a hours at a time. There
is only one other excuse and that is his
pals were setting too fast pace for
his wife to stand for. So Bro. McGov-
ern must catch 1890 car or walk Is
blocks.
