holder OF the worlds record for the
mile commanded. AS Overron passed

After the race Johnny came across

Almost Married" a comedy
drama Of unusual humor with May
Allison as the star is the attraction
at the Auditorium today. The star
appears as a little Swiss girl who
later becomes = great actress. The
story relates 10 Adrienne Of the Alps
who falls in love with a young mil
~lionaire. The romance is rudely
shattered when the young man takes
the advice Of some friends who tell
him that the girl is beneath him
socially and that he shouldn't marry
her. She considers herself basely
deserted and in a tit Of pique ac-
cepts the offer Of a vaudeville man
ager TO go 10 America and have her
voice trained. There she becomes
the most talked attraction in a ia
nous midnight review and meets the
father of the young millionaire. She
tells him her story and together
they decide TO give the young man
a lesson which he will never forget.
How they do this and the unusual
outcome fills the piece with interest,
it is said. The Lightning Raiders"
the sensational serial with Pearl
White, the GaumOnt Weekly and
Will Rogers in Funny Sayings will
also be shown today as usual. The
Whip" a perturbation of the race
horse play of the same name. will

DEMOCRATS WILL
MEET THURSDAY
Plans for Summer 0rganiza-
tion to Be Mapped Out by
Committee.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. June ia
Plans for the summer organization
work will be mapped out at the
meeting Of the democratic state com
mittee called for June 10 and 90 in
Indianapolis. The democratic
women will hold their first organiza-
tion meeting on June 20 in the morn
ing Democratic women chairmen.
from each or the Is congressional
districts will choose their chairman
and secretary.
Frank Van Mugs. democratic state
chairman. said that the name Of the
woman's state organization would
probably be the Democratic women's
bureau. In the afternoon Of June
20, the men and women Will hold a
joint meeting.
To Recognize Women.
This is going 20 be a $3.50 prop
osition with the men and women
said Mr.. Van Nuys. "AIl OF us dem
ocrats. whether male or female. are
going 10 work hand in hand fcl vic
tory. We believe that the democrat
ic women who have worked so hard
for suffrage ought 10 have recogni-
ton now"
Mr.. Van Mugs said he himself had
no dea as 10 who the democratic
ONE would select for the chair
man OF their organization. He said
that much complaint had arisen in
the republican ranks because wom-
en- who had not worked for suffrage
were now carrying OFF the honOrs as
women leaders of the republican
party.
To Coordinate Efforts.
The democratic women will have
an organization exactly similar to the
democratic state committee but the
two organizations will coordinate
their efforts. The republicans are
e%ndeavoring to organize the women
without forming a distinct woman's
organization.
The democratic plan is the best
NJ. Van Nuys believes, as il Will
tend TO put the wOmen on their met
tie and Will cause them to take more
pride in their organization work.
Democrats here are hoping Pres't
Wilson will heed the invitation wired
to Secy' Tumulty by Mr.. Van Mugs
TO speak in Indianapolis on the
League OF Nations in event the presi-
dent makes his proposed speaking
tour.
