IF THE G. 0. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH

Voters of the q. S. A
We, the Republican party, being at
our wits end and desperate, put it up
to you:
For nearly four years now Demo
cratic administration has been in
power Contrary to every law of rea-
son. every principle Of progress, the
country is at peace and alive-nay,
humming With prosperity. Business is
rushing. Wages are high. The only
-discontent is the discomfort of those
who are reaching for bigger chunks Of
plenty.
We are fabbergasted. All this has
happened during a period when the
rest of the world has been agog, when
international crises were impending on
all sides, when we would have sworn
only Republican craftsmanship could
pull the nation through.
No war has engulfed US. No panic
has paralyzed us. No nation has with
impunity continued to infringe upon
our rights.
We can't deny what has been done.
All we can do is take our oath We
could have done it better. How, we do
not know. If only we said it loud and
long enough we hoped the country
would believe US.
But the country Is busy, and our
voices grow hoarse. We are having q
hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing 30
show us but what he has accomplished
He has none of the glamour Of the
what-might-be- We, on the contrary,
have our old promises and policies,
mellowed By age, but still bearing the
stamp Of the nations solid interests
Protection. privilege government By
infiuence-eurely the country h0e not
given them their last trial
Wall street I'm with Us. BIG business
is with Us. But on, voters, we confess
It. we need 700 Don't keep looking at
the peace and prosperity around Too.
Try to gs& eur point OF Vasw. WhA4-
ever Wilson has done, the man h o
Democrat and ne1thsr fedenal govern
ment nor federal ofncss were nGant 60
be forever In such hands
Let's forget issues and talk as
friends. Turn him out and give u
/ chance!

The Baireuth Festival.

The Baireuth Festival theater was
the dream of Richard Wagners life.
That he was able to carry it to fulfill
ment was largely the result Of the Co
operation and financial aid given by
the unfortunate King Ludwig III. of
Bavaria. Wagner first conceived the
idea Of his Festival theater In 1858,
bot the foundation stone was not laid
at Beireuth until May -, 1872. The
Festival theater was opened with the
Ring cycle in 1878. The festival then
lasted from the 18th to the 18th of
August Since the first performance
oe ~Parstfal' In 1882 there has been a
music festival at Beireuth almost every
yeaS-&e% York Times.

The case is to be brought before the

to find Mrs. Margaret Roquette.

her release she left the city.
State police have been searching in

success. Mrs. Roquette's old haunts
were sought by a woman detective.

boasting that he'll be a, free man in
another week.
Robert F. Adams, of Stamford, a
client of~the law firm of F'al1on &

Mrs Roquette. When Adams became
acquainted with the nature of the
case he. recalled the bond.

Jan. 27. Adams has also furnished
bonds of $1,000 for the freedom of
Mrs. Margaret Rouquette, arrested

prosecution.
When Adams learned the charge
on which fBorino was held was a ser

search was made for Borino but he
could not be found and rumor had it
