Danger in OvcrconRdcncc

IT HERE is but one conceivable thing that
defeat Colonel Rorer y. James,
candidate for Congress in the Fifth Dis
tIict. That is overconndence on the part
Of his supporters and party followers.
While the Fifth has a strong Republican
contingent. and it has been the stage for
some memorable political battles. in recent
years the Democrats have become trine
too prone to rely upon the safety OF their
numbers, This year, ovcrconIldence, leth
nrgy-call it what one will-might prove
disastrous.
Colonel James has opposition that adj
n>ittcdly is strong. The Republican candi-
date is making an aggressive campaign, per-
sunaily he is popular, and it must be re-
membered that this year new elements have
entered into the political situation. elements
that just now cannot be accurately gagged.
There is in the Fifth District Il sufficient
number of Democrats to give their can
didate an overwhelming victory nj the polls
but they will not avail if they fail TO vote.
Reports from several counties rather ac-
ccntnate this apathy and while ii is not
really alarming, it does constitute n pos
sibc danger that should arouse the voters
u tho imperatiyeness of their political
duty
OF course, defeat of Colonel James is
unthinkable, but the voters must make as
surance douhly sure The colonel is one
OF Nirginin's outstanding figures, chairman
OF the State. Democratic Committee man
To whom both party and State owe much
In this connection it is enlghtening as to
his patriotic service to the State, and its
young men particularly, to read what Gen
cral Nichols. superintendent OF Virginia

That is the character of man whom
the Democrats OF the Fifth District have
chosen to represent them in Congress. That
is the sort OF Democrat for whom every
man and woman in the district owes it 10

Miss AurOre Lacroix
Gives Piano, Recital
One New Piece ON the Program
'Cargoyles of Notre Dame,''
Draws Encore -.


Miss Aurore Lacroix gave delight
full piano recital yesterday afternoon
at Aeolian Hall. Although blond and
slender, this young woman has mas
terful musical personality Hearing
her, there is no thought of dry tech
nical feats dazzlingly performed. The
beauty and strength of her irterpreta-
tions are what impress the listener and
stay with him long after he has left
the hall. Miss Lacroix has an admir-
able technical equipment, but she uses
her skill for its supreme function, that
Of thoughtful and emotional express
sion.
There was only one new piece on the
program, Miss Ethel Leginska's "Gas-
goyles Of Notre Dame.S In spite of
the fact that the audience demanded
it second time. one hearing was
enough to convince many that Miss
Leginska, with Miss Lacroix one of
the finest woman pianists OF the pres
ent day, had best keep to her playing
Her piece was strongly reminiscent Of
the works Of Messrs. Prokofieff and
Ornstein, with dash of imitation De
bussy. The pianist gave remarkable
performance of Brahms's Sonata, Opus
5, and an equally brilliant and imagi-.
native reading Of Schurhann's Gar
naval" Six preludes by Chopin and
Weber's Rondo LA Gaietee" completed
one of the most enjoyable piano re
citals that the present season has as
yet brought forth.
