CLARA 5. WELLS TO SING AT COLUMBIA
 FUR ENTIRE SEASON

Two years ago Phoenix music lovers had it brought home to them that within their midst was a singer of whom they might be well proud. Pos sessing a lyric soprano voice of rare delicate quality and most charming personality. Clara B. Wells immediate ly sang her way into, the hearts of all those who heard her.
 It was at the performance of Robin Hood" presented by the Phoenix Opera company at the high school audfto rum, that Miss Wells made her initial bow and won an enviable place for herself among local entertainers. With her fame spreading rapidly she was constantly called upon to assist in making many affairs successful with the aid of her beautiful voice.
 During her first season here she en- tertained on many occasions at the meetings of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Women's clubs. At the Liberty con- cert two years ago, she generously lent her voice and charming personal ity which went far toward making that affair the huge success that it was. Her soft sweet voice has delighted the audiences of both the Elks and Colum- bia theater a number of times during the past two years, and the manage ment of the Columbia theater have just concluded arrangements to have Miss Wells sing at their Sunday matinees and evening performances during the coming season. This engagement will afford the Phoenix theatergoers the never failing pleasure of enjoying Miss l Wells extensive repertoire.
 Miss Wells has studied vocal for many years under some of the best mesters in America, including D. R | Magaloway of New York, and Ower Fitzgerald of Philadelphia. For. severa years she attended the Broad Stree- | Conservatory of Music in Philadelphia and the present lyric quality of hei | soprano voice eloduently attests to tho fact that her study and original talent are filled with promise
 1t was a whole hearted enthusiasm that has greeted every performance that Miss Wells has rendered at tn,
 Columbia, which prompted the man. | agement of that theater to engage Mis- Wells for the season, thereby afford
 ing their patrons the continued enjoy
 ment of her rare musical accomplish
 ments and her winsome talent

 There was one stock argument that had always been petted in the makeup of Ezra Jones'" having to do with heredity and environment.

Platform Before Candi-
dates Are Chosen

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-Rum-
blings of Democratic discord over the
prohibition issue became hourly more
ominous today as delegates and party
chiefs arrived in increasing numbers
for the national convention. Already
the overshadowing issue in pre-conven-
ton conference, the question OF a plat
form declaration against the present
bone-dry law almost took the whole
stage for itself today as the gather
mo delegates heard Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson 3 announcement for a
modification of the Volstead act. by
many. accustomed to regard the post
master general as a political spokes-
man for the White House, the devel-
opment was accepted as warning OF
which wav the wind of the admins
tration influence would blow.
Closely intertwined with the prohibl
tion question is the problem of select
ing nominee in accord with the plat
form as finally agreed upon and among
many of the practical politicians ther'
is feeling that the two decisions mus
be settled virtually at one stroke s.
the pleas Of candidates managers ar
falling on deaf ears for the present
while leaders get their bearings on tn
more immediate question of bone-dr
or a beer platform.
,Such talk as there was today re
garding candidates seemed to strength
