quiring eaia company to abolish the

lative to the. telephone service in

Strength Not To Be DesD;seJ.

1t is the significant feature of the
San Francisco nomination tina, in the
selection of James M. Cox as the
democratic candidate for election to
the presidency choice was made from
among the three leading contestants
OF the one who was the least inti-
mately associated and the least close
ly identified with Wilsgs ism and all
that it implies. 1t &efE foolish and
futile to ignore or beIittIe the strength
which in other respects the candi-
dacy of Governor Cox possesses. He
had noe achieved much more than a
local reputation and was not we'll
known throughout the country when
MS name was first mentioned as a
presidential possibility, but in the
office which he occupies he had shown
himself to be man of high charac-
ter and of much more than ordinary
ABILITY. Thrice elected to governor
snip OF OHIO he as made an excel
lent record as a courageous and en-
ergetIc executive, and at the Same
time he had won the good will Of the
whole community, had according to
report, especially commended himself
to the labor element which in Ohio is
IN a political way more than ordi-
narily influential. 1t will not have
been forgotten that four years ago
the Buckeye state deserted the Re-
publican party to which it had so
long adhered and gave the victory
to the Democracy by casting it's elect
oral votes for Wilson. 1t is of course
the Democratic hope, and not an IN
reasonable one, that in this regard
history next November will repeat it
self and it was doubtless from this
consideration that Governor Cox de.
rived the major part of his support

The Junior Mus'e study Clubs spring festival at the Jefferson the- atre last night was brilliantly fea- tured by the interpretative dancing of Alvin Ernest Belden of BirmingLaml who has won wide reputation. He is an artist of finished proportions and is. therefore. of high professional rank.
 The earlier part of the programme was made up of excerpts from familiar operas. and considering the fact that the efforts were eu.itely of an ar2a1 teI: nature were creditable. Among the best voices were those of RuAli Sc4immel as Madame Butterfly who sang with expression "one Fine Day; Mary Kinney in the Faust Flower Song" and Nina Katy Sides in the Faust Jewel Song; Marry Blackburn as Elizabeth and Beatty Lonner as Wolfram in "Tannhauser" MG. Lonner has a voice of good qual-l lty and the promise of an artist bY serious study. His "Oh Thou Sweet Evening Star" was well delivered on, the whole It lacked. however in anranciation.
