mickey
In all the numerous heroines VINO
have delighted your eye and aroused
your sympathy upon the developing
screen OF the ever popular movies
there is none to coNpare with the
character study which Mabel Nor
mand crowds into Mickey"
This delightful creation which Mack
Sennett directed with his finest COM
edy touches and skill comes to the
Grand for limited engagement OF
three days commencing tomorrow
and if it does not break every record
of this theatre this will be the first
time that Mickey has not established
such record since she became the
darling of the year.
There isn't much to be said for
Mickey except that she is unique.
Her triumph lies in the fact that she
is so human and the thrilling adven'
lures which she encounters and the
FRANKS she plays spring as naturally
from ont the developments of this
comedy as if you were living through
it all yourself
Hippodrome.
Would you like to be the bride or
a. man who had married you just to
spite another woman? Billy Swayne,
a scion of one of New York's Oldest
families, didn't love Tessa Doyle, the
little dancing girl he married; IN
fact, he hardly knew her.
When Milncent Lee had Tilted him
to marry another man, Billy thought
the world had ended. He did not
know what to do and SO, as is usual,
in such instances, he took the first
bit of advice given him. Rodtey Dol
son told him to get married--immedl-
ately-before Millicent did, so that it
would look as If he had thrown Mill
lent over for this other girl. 1t
didn't make much difference who the
girl was. He could marry he, give
her a thousand and send herto Reno.
So when they saw Tessa Doyle at
the theatre that night, they immedi-
ately decided that she was just the
girl. Now, Tessa wasn't the usual
type of dancing girl. She was young,
fresh and as yet unsmirched by the
grease paint and footlights. She was
innocent and good. She didn't want
to marry Billy on the conditions that
he named. She had different idea
of what marriage ought to be-some-
thing sacred But her will was not
strong enough to battle against those
of Billy, Rodney and her dancing
partner, Trixis So she was married.
At the Hippodrome tonight and
tomorrow afternoon and evening. A
brilliant supporting case is headed
by Robert Ellis and Jack Mulhau.

1T CAPTURE THE REPUBLICAN, NOMINATION nm 1eao2

"The political center of gravity in
the nation has shifted to the
states that lie between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Coast!'-New
York Times editorial.
This opinion is typical Of an idea
which is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There is feeling that
the West Is In the saddle for the pres
idential nomination in 1920"
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential election has made 1t a
potent factor In future calculations.
Moreover, the politicians know that in
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment does not become operative
In time for the next national election
there are, nevertheless, 16 states west
OF the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
Ing an increment of some six million
votes, which might easily turn the cleo
tion one way or the other. Hence, the
Republican leaders of the East as well
as of the West are seriously consider
Ing whether 1t would not he good poll
tics TO take western candidate.
1t is significant that three of the
most generally talked about presiden-
tial possibilities for 1920 come from
the Far West. They are United States
Senators Poindexter, Borah and John
son.
The first mentioned, about whom
considerable discussion is now center
ing, is from the state of Washington.
Though a native of Tennessee and
graduate of a Virginia university,
Poindexter chose the Pacific North
west as his field for life work, opening
law practice IN WaIla Walla, Wash,
1891. Later he was judge Of the su-
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1919-10-10

perior court, and attracted much fa-
vorable attention by his Judicial ablli-
ty. In 1908 Poindexter was elected as
a representative from the state of
Washington to the Sixty-first Congress.
He soon became known as an able, pro-
gressive Republican. In the senate, to
which he was elevated In 1910, he was
a staunch advocate of measures favor
Ing the control and restriction of big
corporations, especially of the rail-
roads. He sought the conservation of
all natural resources of the country,
including water power, coal and oil
lands. Before the war he stood strong
ly for preparedness. and later he Wig
orously supported all measures of the
administration for the protection of
American rights. He advocated throw
ing the whole power of the nation into
Unsuccessful prosecution of the war
Mr. Poindexter believes that Bolshe-
vism and all other movements destruc-
tive of representative government and
national spirit should be strongly TAX
en- in hand and that leaders in at
tempts to overthrow our institutions
should he severely punished. He is
opposed to any scheme for creating a
hybrid government of the world where
by Europe and Asia, in his opinion,
would inevitably dominate this country
and control its policies.
Hiram Johnson, native of Califor-
mia, was governor of the state before
he was chosen senator. He is extreme
ly popular in that commonwealth and
will be strongly backed in his fight for
the Presidential nomination.
Johnson was successful, after a long
struggle, in Kidding California of the
domination of the Southern Pacific
For years the political machine of the
railway held the state within it's hand,
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1919-10-10

and without the sanction and support
of this great power candidates for
state or judicial offices could not be
elected. Johnson, first as counsel for
Interests opposing the railroad corpo-
ration and later as governor, waged a
bitter and unremitting warfare against
railroad domination. His final victory
was a potent factor In his election to
the senate in 1916 Johnson Is a Re-
publican, but generally regarded as
one of the radical type. He has, like
Poindexter, strongly opposed the
League of Nations.
Senator William e. Borah of Idaho
does not differ greatly in the degree of
his achievements from the two other
westerners Born In Wayne county,
Ill.,, Borah was educated in the com
mon schools of that state and at Kan
sas State University. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his
time TO legal practice until his election
TO the senate in 1907 Borah is one Of
the most active figures in the United
States senate. His efforts largely have
been directed toward the proper de-
velopment of the great natural re-
sources of the country, especially OF
the West. He is known as progress
sive Republican. fearless in fighting
for what he believes to be right and,
like the others included in this presi-
dental group, has opposed from the
start the League of Nations covenant.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific
Coast is long jump for national poll
tics to take. However, all precedents,
both in business and politics, seem TO
be vanishing in these days of remark
able readjustments, and the old theory
that Presidential candidate must
necessarily come from east of the Mis-
sissippt is no longer tenable.
