fill the vacancy in the City Coun-
Gil declared Thursday night at the
meeting of the Young Men Vot-
er's club that he would ignore the

that he was out to win. Mr.
Prouty one Of the owners and the
manager of the Newport Electric
City Lights Co, which furnishes the

Mr.. Proutv wishes the voters Of

This club wishes to promote
the best interests of the City; it
desires to instil each and every vo-
ter with that degree of responsible
ity to their city, so that these Yo-
ters will think for themselves and
will not be controlled by the few.
DR.. Henry E. Somers the other
candidate promoted by the Young
Mems Voters club, for City Alder
man, has already publicly announ
ced his policies, which are, public
ity, economy and sound business
judgment.
The following statement was is
sued Thursday evening by the pub
licity committee of the Young
Mems Voters club: "Noters think
this matter over, realize, if YOU
will please, who those voters are
who must pay the large debt con-
tracted for by the past city gov
ernmcnt. Is it not the Young men
1t is not the young man Of todly
who mus shoulder the City'S bur
den tomorrow; then get these
young men into lioe, give them the
opportunity to learn, now while
they arc in a position to give their
best to the city,
"Evcry voter who believes that
the views expressed by the oung
Mems Voters club should see that

BIG AM. LEGION
SHOW TONIGHT
AT COLONIAL
"HOmeward Bound" Is
One of Best Pr0duc-
tiOns In Years

The big American Legion pro
duction, "Homeward Bound is all
set for the initial performance this
evening at the Colonial theatre.
With an all star local cast, with a
profusion of snappy song numbers
and with clever scenery, every
thing indicates that "Homeward
Bound" will be one of the biggest
hits in recent years.
Painstaking in detail, Ralph
Howes, ce-commander of w. r.
Knapp post No. SO of the Ameri-
can Legion, has worked out the
entire show, the original songs and
the music. He has been assisted by
a host of coworkers both members
and nonmemberS of the local Le-
gion post. Local dramatic critics
have witnessed the rehearSals and
are highly enthusiastic over the
show.
A production embracing so many
attractive features is difficult to
review. One of the brightest spots
in the show is the profusion Of
songs. A great hit will be the med
ley of old army songs, rendeed
with all the snap with which they
were sung, as the columns of khaki
clad soldiers swung along the line
of march.
"Geisha Grip with Mrs. Levas-
seur and Mr.. Cox and a chorus of
Japs and American girls will at
tract much attention this evening
as will also "Tokyo Maid" with a
chorus of 16 Jap men and maids.
The end-men promise to furnish
some of the best humor heard on
the boards this year. There are six
of the best fun artists that could
be found in st. Johnsburv and IN
der the tutelage of Charles Hoern-
lie they have rapidly rounded into
form. They will all he ready to dis
pense their fun tonight
1t is expected the ending of tine
first "art, as the shin. bearing its
precious carge of soldiers, enter
the habor of N. Y. will especially
evoke a favorable criticism of the
audience this evening. Rivallin~ in
effect, will be the closing scene of
the second part with an assembly
of the entire company.
Other scenes and effects will
impress the big audience which is
expected to attend "Homeward
Bound" tonight. Everything points
to one of the biggest successes in
years.
