Whitman Appears
To Be Drys' Choice
By About 400 Votes
John A. Bolles Confident
of Victory in the 21st
Congress District

George A, Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, announced
last night that on account Of Monday,
September 10, the date set for the
meeting of the state committee, being
the Day of Atonement of the Jews, the
meeting would be held on Tuesday,
September II, at IL O'Clock, at the Re-
publ IAN Club. The notification of the
nominees on the state ticket will take
place at night on the same day.
Harry M. Ingram, vice-chairman OF
the Whitman campaign committee, said
yesterday that twenty-six OF the sixty
two counties in the state had been
heard from, and that Governor Whit
as the candidate for Governor on the
Prohibition ticket, was leading DIN s.
Bishop, Of Utica, the regular primary
candidate, by vote of 80 for Whit
man and 500 for Bishop. The returns
are from 2,842 election districts out of
n total of 5,7S2. At the same ratio the
Governor will win the nomination
by 434.
The Republicans of the Schenectady
Montgomery Fulton Hamilton Congress
district, if the official canvass confirms
the present primary returns and makes
Dr. Frank Crowther of Schenectady,
tHe ItcDuUitCaH CaHuiuEL against Suh-
gresham Lunn, will make = hard fight
to retire Lunn. who carried the district
two years ago by 700 votes. Lunn went
into the primaries and gave DR.. Crow
Their a close race for the Republican
nomination.
The district, with the women vot-
ing, should be Republican by about
10000. Last year the people of Science
tady. Of which Lunn was formerly the
Socialist Mayor, retired the Socialists
Republican ticket was elected almost
without exception Lunn will have the
backing of the Wilson administration.
and if he is reelected as Congressman
from this Republican district he
doubtless will be the Democratic can
didate for Governor two years hence.
He was "favcrite son" candidate at
the Saratoga convention, but the Smith
men smothered his boom.
John A. Bolles, Republican candi-
date for Congress in the 21st district.
said yesterday at Republican state
headquarters that he undoubtedly would
be elected, as the factional troubles in
his district had been smoothed out.
State Controller Travis, candidate in
the primaries for the prohibition nom
nation, said Yesterday that he had
heard from thirty-five counties. and
that his majority over Claude v Stow
ell, the regular candidate. was $500
and growing as the returns came in.
AS there are $4,000 enrolled prohib;-
tionists, the friends of both the Con-
troller and the Governor are Joyous
over the prospect that they will have
the drys' support.

War Needs Call
For Republicans at
Helm, Says Fess
Congressional Chief Gives
Three Reasons for an Op-
position Congress
Special Dispatch to The T,1bunc)

ASUtCtuL DSpUtch TO 4 ne II1UunG)
WASHINGTON, Sept Three rea-
sons why the Republican party should
control the Senate and House of the
next Congress were given to-day by
Representative 8. D. Tess, Of Ohio, the
new Republican Congressional Com
mttee chairman, in statement to the
public. They were:
First-To insure q vigorous prose-
cution of the war.
Second-To guard against an in
conclusive or negotiated peace.
Third-To insure speedy recon
struction after the war on lines that
will give "the greatest good to all"
The all-important task before the
country, Mr.. Fess explained, is to win
the war. He added it will continue
to be so until the job is finished" Mr..
Fess insisted that, by their record, Re-
publicans in Congress have shown
themselves to be more of war party
than the Democrats
"The task of winning the war;" Mr..
Fess said, demands the best in plan,
organization and execution. 1t calls for
the highest degree Of efficiency in adj
ministration. 1t forbids hating hest
tation for whatever reason, whether
fear oe responsibility or uncertainty
Of results. While it requires unlim-
tied expenditure of money, which Con-
gress has fully authorized, it also calls
for a rigid bushes policy to insure
against objectionable waste of funds"
Mr. Fess enumerated instances IN
which Democratic leaders had failed
the Administratio at critical stages in
the war execution programme.
"Only week ago, when the man
power bill was before the House." he
said, "the Committee Of Military Al
fairs refused to report it except with
an amendment which would have ham
strung the military authority and
against which the Secretary of War
the Chief of Staff and the President
had stood. Again the Republican lead
ers took charge, and after an all-day
battle carried out the policy Of the
militare advisers. The following day
the Democratic leaders renewed the
fight, led again by Chairman Dent
with Clark, Kitchin and Pou. But
under the leadership Of the Republic
cans, defeat was again the lot of the
Democrats The vote showed that had
the measure been left to the Democrats
it would have failed by decisive ma.
iority, while The Republican vote was
2 to 1 for the bill as proposed by the
military authorities.
The record Of the two parties, not
, mental policy, efficient service anc
sane economy, supplies the reason fol

ance and prohibition suits the Republi-
can party in the Empire State.
The progress is in entire harmony
with Republican thought and growth
and with 95 per cent of the American
people. AS commercial proposition

cratic administration in Washington.
do not believe the brewers and dis
tillers arc going to fall over each other
in sending campaign contributions to
Tammany Hall, as they have done in
years gone by. The Democratic hope
of success this fall was in Republican
disaffection in New York and dissatis-
fled farmers up the state.
1.-THE denomination of Whitman is an
answer that any sane man will hold
to be conclusive. There isn't any dis
affection. Whitman carried all the
counties but Albany and Orleans. The
last named he lost because Of his par
don Of Stielow, the convict. He nearly
carried Albany, the cornerstone of the
opposition. There is the minimum Of
soreness over the result. The Repub-
licans will elect their state ticket by
at least 100000"

Many Outdoor Affairs
to Aid War Activities
Are Planned

Labor Day marked the close Of the
season at most of the summer resorts
and the last few days have brought
manv members OF society back to town
from the stashore and mountain.
Some OF them, however, will remain
in the city only few days and will
then go to the fall fashionable gather
ing places. where the season is so de-
Nehtful at this time of the year. 9th
ers will open their country places near
New York, on Long leland, in West
chester County. along the Hudson and
in the Morristown section of New DER
sew. There will be little entertaining
however, for society is giving itself al
most entirely TO war work About
the only gaycfy at the country estates
will be the house parties over the
week-ends.
Many outdoor affairs for the Red
Cross, the Y NJ. c. A. Knights Of Column
bus and other wan charities have been
planned for the fall, including gym
lhsna games. horse shows. tennis and
golf. The most important show will
be the one at Piping Rock, on Satur-
day, September Is. 1t will be held on
the old show grounds of the Piping
Rock Club. and the proceeds will be
turned over to the Red Cross, TO be
used for the relief OF French children

Republicans Eyes
On Craftsmanship of
Military Committee

"The Republicans of the State Of
New York should exert themselves to
the utmost in the election this year,
particularly in supporting their candi-
dates for Congress, in order that julius
Kahn may succeed Dent, of Alabama,
as chairman of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs of the House. That is what
Will happen if the Republicans win the
House this fall, and that alone is worth
making the fight for" said Representa-
tive Bertrand H. Smell, of Potsdam, at
Republican state headquarters yester-
day. Continuing, Mr.. Smell said
AS things are now, the North is
raising the money to prosecute the war
and the South is spending it. Give US
Republican House and Julius Kahn OF
California will displace Mr.. Dent as
chairman of the Committee On Military
Affairs. According to the National Sc
curity League, Mr.. Dent voted wrong
on five of the great war measures last
year, and the league has him on it's
list.
"lf Mr.. Kahn dispaces Mr.. Dent as
the Lead OF that most important com
mittee, the Republicans of the country
will know something about what is go
ing on before it happens. With Dent
in the craftsmanship they are fortunate
if they are able to ascertain the facts
even after the thing happens"
Speaking Of conditions upstate, the
st. Lawrence County Representative
said:
"Tho general Republican situation in
the northern part Of the state never
was better. In my own district there
is no reason why the Republicans
should not carry St. Lawrence County
by 10000 Nearly all the women are
enrolled as Republicans Democracy
does not flourish in St. Lawrence
County and never did. ZAP Smith will
run the same as any other pillar of
Tammany Hall, and that means he will
be smothered. Smith is a Tammany
man pure and simple. We don't want
another Tammany experiment in the
Governors chair. We had our lesson
We don't want Tammany up the state
anyway. New York is a good enough
place to keep the tiger.

Amy revival of this opera brings with
it memories Of days when opera in
New York was at its height, when
Jean de Reszke was an incompatible
Romeo, when his brother, Edouard,

giant and superbly voiced Capulet, when

performance yesterday afternoon was
undoubtedly the Juliet Of Miss Mario,
who sang the part for her first time. A
pupil Of Oscar Saenger, and more re-
evidently has studied with diligence.
Her voice has the advantage of youth
and freshness. 1t Is flexible, but it is
also warm in quality. She sang the
waltz song gracefully, with lightness
and girlish joy. Later she was
cmotionally eloquent.
Miss Mario has not merely paid at
tentlon to her teachers She thinks
tor herself. Young singers vocnlly we'll
equipped are often i'll at ease when
called upon to display histrionic abil-
lty, but Miss Mario Is not so handi-
capped. Her conception Of the role
was interesting and we'll sustained In
the first two acts she was a romantic
and 1mpetuous girl. In the chamber
scene she was woman who knew the
spell of passion. Other features of her
wovk were finished phrasing and fine
dicton,
Mr. Errolle, a young American, who
sang Romeo for the first time with
this company, has an agreeable voice
and pleasing presence. His diction
was clear and intelligent. OF the
minor characters the most striking was
Mr.. Bozzano's Frere Laurent
In the evening Verdi's al Trova-
tore was given, with Estele Went
worth as Leonora, Zinovief as Man
rico and Stella de Mette as Azucena.
Mr.. Antola took the part of the
Count di Luna, in place of Mr.. Vigil
one, and Mr.. Barbiere conducted. This
opera, with its immortal melodies, in
Guiding the Anvil Chorus, is favorite,
and there was a large audience.
a spirited performance brought the
first week of the San Carlo company's
season to a close. Audiences have been
deservedly large, and the remaining
two weeks should be equally success
full. There are excellent leading sing
ers. Chorus and orchestra are efficient.
Whatever the crudities Of stage set
tings, whatever the deficiencies of cos
tuning, the spirit of each opera has
been maintained faithfully.
