Colgate League Of
Naturaized Citizens

Sentiment among many thousands
of the naturalized residents of New
Jersey for the nomination of Colonel
Austen Colgate for Governor by the
Republican party has taken definite
shape through the organization of
the Colgate Naturalized Citizens
League, with branches in every of
the State.
Supporters of Colonel Colgate, who
have been quietly at work ascertain
ing the sentiment of this large and
influential group, are greatly graft
fed at the favorable response which
Colonel Colgate's candidacy has
evoked.
Republican leaders who are work
ing in the interest of Colonel Colgate,
realize that the successful candidate
for Governor must have the support
of the naturalized voters of the State
to be elected. That much of this sup
port will go to Colonel Colgate, if he
is nominated, is the belief of the
ColonePs supporters.
Within the next few days, head
quarters of the league will be opened
in the principal cities of the State
and announcement made of the of
ficers of the league.

good cowboy as ever wore. leggings.
When he spoke it was to the point
and he was as real as anybody's cow
boy in town. His acting was all that
was demanded. The same may be said
of Mr.. Henry H. Mutt, who, while he
had little to say, was there with his
pals, and helped to round out trio
OF very noisy, rollicksome, sincere,
honest cowboys.
Mr. Gerald R. Thayer, as the Sheriff,
did his part very nicely indeed. He
was only on in the last act, and the
action of the piece did not require a
great deal from him. Still, he made
as good a sheriff as one would want
to see.
Taking the play as whole, while
it lacks the refinement of theme some
of the other efforts the Comedy
Club has undertaken, it was, never
the less, regarded by many as the
best thing yet presented. Circle c
Ranch has a lot of human nature in
it, and the public likes any play with
heart. The small size of the stage
took a lot of realism away, but one
soon forgot that in studying the
sincere effort the players put into
their parts. Never mind about the
stage now. When the new Grant
wood high school is ready there will
be something new and better as an
auditorium and stage. Then the
Comedy club will not be so cramped
Mention must not be omitted of the
storm scene in the second act. Home
made thunder and lightning are old
tricks of stagecraft, but real nature
conditions have seldom blended more
appropriately than on this occasion
While the metallic sheets ratified out
thunder claps and electric lights
flashed the lightning behind the
scenes, outside torrential beating OF
heavens own rain was coming down
lfuriously. 1t could be heard so dis
tinctly that little tot present was
forced to remark, "Mama won't the
lplayer-actors get themselves wet?"
Too much praise cannot be given
the Comedy Club. AS Mrs. Koch
