Claims of Darwin r.. James.

Mr. James is the Brooklyn man picked
by most of the Independents as the man
on whom they could nost easily agree.
While never a foe of the regular organ
ization, he has during all his political
career been known for independence Of
thought For years he was president Of
the Brooklyn Young Republican Club,
founded by Seth Low. He always has
been connected with good government
movements and was picked by Mayor
John Purroy Mitchell as Il member of his
Municipal Civil Service Commission. He
was one of the late Mayors trusted
advisers
The friends of Mr. James say 1t would
be easier to unite the Independent in
fluences behind Mayor Mitchell on this
Brooklyn man than any other Repub-
lican who could be picked They
further point to him as a business man.
one who has a real record Of achieve
ment in the management of big enter
prises.
If Senator Calder could turn the in
terest in his candidacy over TO any
other individual undoubtedly that man
would be Senator Lockwood, whose
friends say he Is of Mayoralty size and
deserves recognition because of his good
work as head of the housing commit
tee But the Senator has no other
strong influences behind him.

Of Thomas Griff1th's latest efforts.
1t is a picture which has COM
manded a price of $3.50 in the larger
and has filled the greatest play
houses in : this country for many
weeks. It Is said to be the most talked
of production now on the screen.
In this wonderful production we

laughter to tears, resentment and
praise.
$4,000 People in Picture.
The scenes of the great spectacle

Some facts have been supplied to

Twelve thousand persons appear in
the picture.
sand tons Of masonry, steel, lumber,
furniture, shruhbery was used in 1t.
A French village capable of hous-

A costume factory was erected at
the studios during the production.
Six months were consumed in Aim

no expense was spared In h making;

The wal scenes in the play. par

heights in the art Of the cinema.
The show opens at 8:15 p. m. and

To Be, Completed.

The ideal fall weather, which end

snowfall during the week, permitted
the fall work to be finished for the.
most part and all the late crops har-l
vested, according to A.. u. Surratt.
state statistician for: the bureau of
markets and crop estimates.
The y crop was seeded and at
the time of the ~freezeup was very
favorable. The corn crop this year
was harvested without being dam
crop as a whole was disappointing.
and the slump in prices caused much
dissatisfaction among the farmers.
The oat crop was fairly good in the
northwestern part Of the state, but
mostly lightein both yield and quality
elsewhere. There was little CONNER
cial surplus Of this crop.
The same condition applies to the
barley crop, Mr.. Sufratt stated. This
crop will be used for feeding purposes
to- relieve the shortage Of oats.
In the northern part of the state
the flax crop was fair, but the slump
in the southwest portions brings the
average below normal for the state.
Potatoes was the big crop in sew
eral parts of the, state, particularly in
northwestern section. In the south
western part of the state yield of this
product was light.
h forage crops were generally
good except in the southwestern part
of the state, with a surplus in many
northern and eastern counties.
The labor supply, Mr.. Surratt said,
exceeds the demand, with wages gen.
