Rachmaninoff Gives Second
Recital al Carnegie Hall

The two features most noticeable at
the second recital BY Nj. Rachmani
noff, which took place in Carnegie Hall
yesterday afternoon. were the audience
tln number and qualityj and the pro-
gramme. Both features were obviously
due to the same cause. The concert
was given in aid of charity-in aid
of the Society for the Prevention and
Relief of tuberculosis. The number Of
persons in attendance was in conse-
quence smaller than it would have been
if the concert-giver had been q novice
appealing to metropolitan audience
tor a hrst hearing; but the listeners
had paid for the privilege of hearing
and were more intelgently apprecia-
tive and more discriminating in their
bestowal OF applause.
On the other hand the concert giver
had made concessions to what must be
confessed to be the popular taste and
had elected to give MS hearers what
ne had been told. they wanted rather
than what as Il serious artist he might
have preferred to play. In his first
fcw numbers he presented himself as
the cian-interpreter; as COM
poser, playing popular pieces of his
own.
Naturally he gave delight to all con-
ccrned, though he made less serious
appeal than at his first recital. The
lnterpretative musician came out in
ms first number, the thirty-two varia-
tons on theme in c minor by Bee
thoven, in which the clear analysis com
bined with the exposition of beauty re-
called the playing of Won Bulow. In

Everett Colby Is Doomed
For New Jersey Governor
Republicans of West Orange
Call Attention TO His Ser
vices TO Country

If his fellow townsmen in West
Orange have their way, Everett Colby,
former state Senator, will be the next
Republican candidate for Governor Of
New Jersey. The boom of Mr.. Colby,
now a major in the tank corps of the
army, has been launched by the Re
publican Club of that town and the
local members of the Republican coun-
ty committee.
In a preamble and resolution adopted
at meeting of these bodies last
Thursday the declaration is made that
the candidate for "Governor at this
time should be a man of courage and
foresight; free from taint of mere
sclt1sh mbitions, a man whose stead
fast devotion to the cause of good gov
ernment requires no proof" To this
standard the Republicans Of West
Orange declare Major Colby measures
up.
The resolutions call attention to "his
long and fearless fight for political
cleanncss, his disinterested champion
ship of sound laws. his unscliish devo-
ton to the cause of his country and her
allies in time of war;" which have made
him a national figure.
He is described as "friend and de-
voted supporter of Theodore Roosevelt:
chosen by Charles f. Hughes as mem
Der OF the executive committee of the
Republican National Committee, and
publicly and signalIy praised by the
Democratic President of the United
States, Woodrow WILSON,"

The Wilson Administration has got so

The people are becoming scared
about the prodigality of the govern

and that is one of the reasons why they
have elected Republican Congress.
