Mr., VERNON FAILS TO
SWING PROGRESSIVES
TO "SAFETY FIRST" FLAG

The Lewiston Journal, ex-organ OF
the Progressives, has the following
from Bangor:
While members Of the Progressive
State committee are somewhat mixed
politically at a meeting held at
the Penobscot Exchange on Wednes
day, State Chairman Vernon. who
was appointed bank-examiner by
Gov Curtis failed to induce the COM

as Gov. Curtis was concerned.
The members of the committee de-
clined to be committed reserving the
right to vote as they deem best.
Practically all of those present in
dicated an intent to vote split tickets
H. P. Gardner national committee
man of the Progressives for Maine,
was not present. 1t is understood
that he told Progressive leaders that
he deemed it best for him to remain
away. So far Mr.. Gardner has not
indicated what kind Of political
thought he would embrace in this
campaign.
very much exercised at the result of
on Aug. Sth. After the convention
he expressed to a number Of people
great disappointment at the nomina-
ton Of Mr. Hersey. He hoped to get
the plum for himself. While not an
avowed candidate for the nomina-
ton by the Republicans Of this dis
trict, Mr.. Gardner had let it be
known that he was in a receptive
mood In other words he was mum
bered among those who were willing
to be struck by political lightning in
that convention.
1t is said by several persons that
Mr.. Gardner claimed it was the de
sire Of Candidate Hughes. Col
Roosevelt and other leaders Of the
Republican party, this year, that he
should be the congressional nominee
Of that party in the 4th district, the
idea being that his presence on the
ticket would strengthen the Republi-
can party in the 4th district and the
State, by drawing the Maine Pro-
gressives back to the fold. AS to this
Mr. Gardner made no public utter
ance. Whatever support he may have
had from Candidate Hughes and the
Colonel. he only knows. His only
statement about it was to polite Al
friends in private conferences. How
ever, the fact that he was dissatis-
fed with the outcome Of the con-
vention. was undisguised.

gressive committee was a follow-up

Mr.. Dodd was born IN Bloomfield,

fathers interests.
In 1895 he established The Book
man" and in 1902 published "The New

the wide-horizoned, intellectual side Of
the work"
Mr.. Dodd was a member Of several

L. n. Sothern last night acted for
the first time the title role in David
Gsrrick," comedy of the theatre, by
the theatre and for the theatre. The
chief value Of the play, Of course, lies
IN the acting opportunities that IL gives
tue star For all that, however, David
Garrick" is an exceptionally good play
OF its period, which was that Of plush
coats. four o'clock dinners and hourly
changes of wigs for the gentlemen.
The performance gwen by Mr.. SOthern
and his company was at all times good,
and at many times excellent.
For his call upon Simon lngot IN the
first act Mr.. Sothern wore "A wig Of
brown. "A color VIGOROUSLY lacking in
histrionic potentialities. Possibly his
youthful appearance in this shade
served TO unnerve his company. But
for the dinner scene in Act II the star
changed TO hair of gray, as gentle
man should at dinner. and the perform
ance picked up noticeably.
This act. wherein Garrck feign5
drunkenness 70 cure the daughter OF
Ingot of her love for him. is what has
enGeared the play 10 actors since the
days OF Robertson. To be outwardiE
hilarious the while the heart rs break
ing is good old theatrical situation,
and as effective to-day as ever. MI.
Sothern last night succeeded admirably
in bringing out the conflicting emo
lions.
But it was in the less SNOWY third
act. in The scene or Remuneration be
tween Garrick and Ada lngot. that the
high mark Of acting was reached. ms
Gene was beautifully and perfectly
PLAYED by Mr. Sothcra and Alexandra
Carlisle. Coming near the end OF the
nlay. % impaired distinction to the
entire performance and sent a reluct,,
ant audience forth 10 its taXlcabs and
traffic cops.
Miss Carlisle. acting for the first
time with Nr. Sothcrn's rcpertory com
pany. brought beauty and talent to the
role Of Ada Ingot. II IS devoutly to be
hoped that she will not be permitted
20 escape again to the provinces when
David Garrick" has run ITS course.
