RUMOR CURTIS
INTENDS TO SEEK
THE NOMINATION

well-defned rumor existed Thursday
that Governor Curtis would seek the SEN
atorial nomination of t. : Democratic par
ty to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Burleigh. Newspapermen
were unable to see the governor at the
executive offices but those close to the az
ministration generally scoffed the report
1t is felt that this action would entail
such confusion that even Governor Curtis
would not consider it seriously. There is
no doubt that he could have the nomina-
ton if he went after it, and some draw
the conclusion there is no one else, but
the general opinion seemed to be that he
would not enter.

season ticket plan. these splendid pro-
grams can be heard for a few cents
number. The season tickets admit to
all sessions, and there are no extras Of

ture Of the five days will be music, of
which there will be a great abundance
An entirely different and distinct set of
