New Party Nominee

Chicago, Ill.-Parley P. Christensen
Salt Lake City lawyer, was nominated
as the presidential candidate for the
new farmer-labor party by its conven.
ton Wednesday. Christensen. a mem
Der of the committee of 4S, was chosen
on the second ballot.
Christensen was elected over Dudley
Field Malone OF New York by a vote
of 1925 to 174.6.
Christensen, who presided over part
of the fusion party sessions, was the
chairman of the forty-eight convention
prior to the amalgamation.
He took the stand as the vote was
announced and was greeted by warm
demonstration.
"My work has just begun" he said
in announcing his acceptance.
A minority report from the platform
committee was sponsored by three Of
the five representatives of the COM
mittee of forty-eight, but was defeated
by vote Of slightly less than 3 to l..
The majority report was signed by
the five labor members of the COM
mittee on resolutions and two of the
forty-eight's party representatives. 1t
was adopted by big majority. which
on motion was made unanimous.
Defections from the ranks of the
new party began when 1t was shown
that the minority report would be
overwhelmingly defeated. James E.
Ferguson of Texas was the first to
openly pull out of the meeting. He
was followed by delegates from sew
eral states, none of whom was identi-
fled with the labor party.

New War Insurance
Rule Is Generous

WashingtOn.-NeW conditions under
which lapsed or Cancelled war risk
lterm) insurance may be reinstated
generous in scope. and of vast impor-
lance TO millions OF former service
men throughout the country, are an
nounced by Director K. G. Cholmeley-
Jones OF the bureau of war risk in
surance with the approval of Secretary
or the Treasury D. F. Houston.
The new ruling is officially desig-
mated as 1T. ID. 81 W. R." effective
July /, 1920. The features of maxi
mum interest to former service men
provide for reinstatement. or reinstate-
ment and conversion of lapsed or can
celed war risk (term) insurance under
conditions substantially as follows:
In all cases the applicant must ten
der at least two monthly premiums
on the amount of insurance to be re-
in8tated, or reinstated and converted,
with his application.
The application also must comply
Will tue lOllOWluS requirements III
reference to health to the satisfaction
Of the director of the bureau of war
risk insurance:
When insurance lapsed or was can
celed prior to July /, 1920, and when
application is made within eighteen
months succeeding the month of dis
charge or resignation, but prior to
January l, 1921:
The applicant must be in as good
health as at the date of discharge
or resignation, or at the expiration of
the grace period, whichever is the
later date, and so state in his applica
ton.
The foregoing is an extremely lib
eral provision and presents an Oppor-
tunity for a very large class of former
service men to reinstate any time up
to January |, 1921, without a medical
examination, by simply paying two
monthly premiums on the amount of
insurance they wish to reinstate and
making their own statement of health
with application.

HYMN OF JESUS" Is
SUCCESS In LONDON

A London letter says: At the mo-
ment of writing. the last important
musical event has been the first per-
formance OF Holst's "Hymn Of Jesus" !"
under the composers direction, by the
Royal Philharmonic Soicety and Its
newly formed choir. The text 10
taken from the Aprocryphal Acts OF
st. John, and 10 according to agnostic
tradition the hymn which Jesus sang
in secret to his Apostles, 1t is set
for two choruses, semi-chorus. or
chestra. piano and organ. and 10 In
every way the most important choral
work this choir-loving country has
produced for many years. -
1t has been published by Messrs.
Stainer & Bell, under the auspices OF
the Carnegie Trust The music re-
fleets a now kind of mysticism, re-
mote from that of oratorio as we
know II. Beyond the use of a liturgi-
cal theme as introduction, II owes
little to the tradition of any Christ
ian Church but seems to approach
more nearly to the attitude of some OF
the early Christian communities of
the East, though there is nothing
specifically Oriental about the idiom.
The effect is magnificent. In fact,
II SO overtowered the rest of the pro
gram that 1t seems superfluous to
enumerate the other works perform
ed. The venerable old Philharmonic
has not often witnessed a scene of
such enthusiasm as followed its con-
clusion.

RUFFO SINGS FOR

A New York writer says:


When Tita Ruffo sings he scores
what the baseball fans would call -

brings down the house. He certainly
did that the other night when he sang
the Prologue to "Pagliaccf' at the
Lexington Avenue Opera House. in

such that 1t must have penetrated to
the upper west side. and nlled with
envy the heart OF Pasquale Amato.
who lives there. The critics may find
fault with the vocal vociferousness OF
Tita. That he has a phenomenal
voice Is unquestioned. But then. you
know, as Ruffo told me in an inter-
view before he left for Europe. he
does not sing for the benefit Of the
critics. He sings for his public, to
win it, and he has his own individual
views as to how to do It,
Incidentally, let me say that Ruffo
Is a master OF makeup and character
1t is modelled, believe, on a char
acter that he once met in Italy, a
man half-witted. who had a peculiar
nervous affection Of the face and a
kind Of idiot laugh. Ruffo studied
this man for a long time, till he had
absolutely mastered the twitching of
his facial muscles.
"It Is in the endless study OF mat
ters of detail that makes him and
Scott and others Of their kind, among
whom I will include De Segurola, such
wonderful artists. But then, you
know, Ruffo has a voice as we'll"
Ruffo, 1t is stated. did not sing pro-

and liturgicsi event
Last years congress was held al
Lourdes In France and attracted
thousands OF music pilgrims to the
far famed Grotto. Other congresses
have been held at various European
centers with marked progress. but
Il 10 confidently expected that the
one in New York In June will sur
pass all that have gone before.
The world famous authority on
will come from Quar- Abbey. In Eng
land, to be the principal director OF
the congress: while the equally cele-
brated organist, Joseph Bonnet. from
st. EustAche, Paris. will be the grand
organist. These two world figures
will dominate the musical proceedings
of the congress. Among the patrons
are Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal
OConnell: Archbishops Dougherty OF
Philadelphia. Dowling OF st. Paul.
Hanna OF San Francisco. Harty OF
Omaha, Keane OF Dubuque, and Noel
ler OF Cincinnati; Bishops Brossart OF
Covington. Burke Of St Joseph. Char

each service) will sing the ordinary
parts OF the mass, vespers and COM
pline. and this great demonstration
Of public worship will probably be
the greatest attraction OF the con-
gress.
Selected choirs will render the
proper parts Of each service from the
chancel, and many choirs from a dis
tance will assist either in the chancel,
or as members Of the congregation in
the nave. A large contingent from
the Baltimore Seminary under Mon
signor Manzetti will take part, and
this contingent will also give at least
one public recital Of polyphonic music
at the Cathedral Hall. which Arch
bishop Hays has formally loaned for
such demonstrations. The choir OF
men and boys from st. Matthews.
