Gunster's Appreciation of Brigham

MT. Edward Brigham, who will appear 1T. the third of the series of Sunday musicales next Sunday, January 30," MT. Frederick Gunster, the well-known tenor, said yesterday, ''s a warm personal friend of mine, and will be the guest of Mrs. Gunster and myself during his visit. As dramatic reader I regard MT. Brigham as absolutely peerless. He is organ, voice, piano, and all the technical sides of music. Madame Nordica was a very close friend of his and was a great inspiration to him in his work His repertoire is very extensive and it is quite unique to see an artist entertain an aud fence, first with groups of songs, then with dramatic readings-sUme of them with music, others unaccompanied.
 MT. Brigham plays all oi his own ac- compartments, the most difficult things. Perhaps his best reading is The Bells It is masterpiece of art, while on the other hand, in lighter vein, he does 'Gungha Din, which always make a strong appeal. 'Enoch Arden is another of his best selections; it is very fine, and An Old Sweetheart of Mine, which he does with musical accompaniment, is very beautiful. I consider that Birming- ham music lovers have great treat in store for them Sunday afternoon"

The Presidential Campaign

President Wilson is one of the most masterful writers and speakers this coun- try has ever had and his discussion of preparedness on his western tour will con vince many a voter who is now inclined to disfavor the administration pro gramme' remarked w. P. Waddill of New York. 'In the east the preparedness sentiment is very strong. Practically everybody believes that the national de- fense should be strengthened, but the question of how much money should be spent on Notifications and army and navy expansion is still a matter of debate.
 "The approaching presidential campaign promises to be very exciting AS I am a democrat, I hope to see MT. Wilson re- elected. I believe his chances are good but the result of the election will turn on New York It has been so in the past and it will be so this year-whoever gets the electoral vote of New York is the winner.
 MT Wilson is strong in my state and so is Colonel Roosevelt If the progress sives and republicans fully unite Roose- welt will be a mighty hard man to beat"
