Republican Chiefs
Tell Voters Why
Lewis Should Win

Upstate Republicans who are leadin g
tt fight north of The Bronx for At
torney General Lewis have issued a
signed statement telling why Mr.. Lewis
should win the Republican nomination
for Governor. Among the reasons
stated are the uncovering Of the pro-
German campaign of Bolo Pacha, snow
Bernstorff and William Randolph
Hearst by Mr.. Lewis's 8 deputy, Alfred
Leroy Becker.
Among the slgners are Samuel b.
Irish, chairman of the Republican City
Committee of Poughkeepsie; Patrick
w. Cullinan. former State Commissioner
of Excise, and William l.. Barnum, who
was one of Colonel Roosevelt's counsel
in the Barnes Roosevelt suit One
paragraph from the statement reads:
There is even more serious feat
urc which must be cons dered in weigh
ing the value of the service to the ma
tion which the result of the coming
primary will prove to De. AS is now
we'll known, France, our ally, was
honcycombed with treason, and 1t was
by direction CT Mr.. Lewis, ably carried
out by his energetic deputy, Alfred L.
Becker of Buffalo. that evidence was
secured and transmitted to France
which resulted in the execution of Bolo
Pacha and others, and the destruction
of q nest of traitors whose acts threat
cned the life Of their country and our
own
"In the investigation it was dis
closed that William Randolph Hearst,
the owner Of ten newspapers and mag
aznes, generally credited with great
political power, was connected, socially
at least, with Bolo Pacha and his pro-
German assistants in this country.
This fact Mr.. Lewis made known to the
public, although he must have known
that the full power of Mr.. Hearst
newspapers would be rxertcd against
the public should have all the facts
from which to draw conclusions as
to the unselfsh patriotism of every
director of public thought. His cour-
age enabled him to act on tnat con-
viction and tn adhere TO it,"
Attorney General Lewis ended his
Manhattan campaign for the guberna-
torial nomination last night with
speeches at the Republican Hcadquar-
tors in the 9th Assembly District, 157
West Ninety seventh Street; the 22d
Avenue, and the 23d Assembly District,
373 West 1S1st Street. Tonight he
will speak in Brooklyn.
The Republican organizations in the
three districts where he spoke last night
lndorscd the candidacy of Governor
Whitman. Such Endorsement, Mr..
Lewis sad, WAS violation of the
spirit of the direct primary law. He
attacked Governor Whitman for failing
to carry cut the promise of the 1914
and 1916 state conventions to hold a
party convention for the nomination
of state officers for whom the state
votes as whole, and for urging upon
the Legislature the ratification of the
Federal prohibition amendment.

Mitzi Seen at the Cohan
Theatre in Head Over
Heels
By Haywood Broun

Head Over Heels" depends very
largely on the abilities of Mitzi But
here is ample material. She is the
dalntlest of grotesques. AND her gro
tesquery is voluntary The little mu-
sical comedy star has never been pret-
tier than she was at the Cohan Theatre
last nigh. when she appeared in tights,
as becomes an acrobat. Although the
season is young, it seems perfectly safe
to make final selection of Mitzi as
quarterback for the All-American Act
ing Eleven. She is small, to be sure,
but sturdy, and no composer or libret-
tist can provide interference which can
hold her back very much.
Jerome Kern has written a pleasant
musical score for the piece He has
done better, but one number has the
SWING OF his most successful tunes. 1t
is called "The Big Show" and Mitzi
sings it. Her voice is becomingly
small, but true and attractive She
made much of this number and great
deal Of others which lay nearer to the
average. Funny Little Something
was one which the audience wanted
again and again.
Inc book OF the new musical play is
by Edgar Allan Woolf 1t possesses an
interesting story which was "suggested
by Lee Arthur's dramatization of Nal
bro Bartley's story, Shadows" Mitzi
is clever enough to make the most of
a plot. She can act as we'll as sing and
dance. But the best moments of the
evening were those in which the plot
was pushed aside for moment tc
make way for specialties. A vaudeville
travesty by Mitzi and Robert Emmett
Keane was the most amusing con
tribution of the evening. Keane
brought lot of fun to the perform
ance throughout the evening, and 6
great deal of his funmaking seemed to
be his own particular contribution
rather than that of the lbrettist. In q
travesty in which he awarded medals
to the chorus, he showed excellent
technique in completing the ceremony
according to the best French traditions
Charles Judels was moderately anus
ing as the leader of the acrobatic
troupe, and had one rolicking song
called "Me." Nobody else served with
anything more than average efficiency
but two excellent comedians and one
tolerable one are enough for any mu-
sical comedy.
During the course of the perform
ance Mitzi was called upon to assist a
troupe of acrobats in their tricks She
did what she had to do we'll enough
but no severe tests were imposed It
was not until the end of the evening
however, that realization came just
how good an acrobat she had been. The
assertion was made frequently that she
was the topper of the troupe, but that
was not accurate. AS a matter of

carried the whole show on her shoul-
ders and seemed to enjoy the feat as
much as the audience did.
