70 THE MEN AND WOMEN
VOTERS OF GRANGER COUNTY

At the earnest request Of numer-
Gus FRIENDS both Republicans and
Democrats throughout Granger
County, | have decided to submit to
you my claims to the office Of Coun-
ty Court Clerk for your decision at
the polls in the coming August cleo
tion.
AS you are aware, | was a candi-
date for the nomination for this Of
fee before the so-called Republican
Primary Election, held March 25,
1922. Since its occurrence, it has
been frequently referred to as a
sale, because of the open and fla
grant use of an enormous slush fund
unparalleled IL the annals of the po-
ltical history of the county, tc cor
rupt and debauch voters at the polls.
Ordinarily after defeat in pri-
mary into which had entered,
would not and should not continue in
the race; but the character of this
particular primary, the auspices
under which it was held, and the
fragrant use of money thereto, were
to my mind, such as to entirely re-
lieve me of any and all Obligations
to abide by it's results. AS is we'll
known the primary election machin-
cry was against me, and not with
standing my most earnest pnGtesta-
tion, | was denied fair representa-
ton at the polls IN consequence of
which in many places Unauthorized
persons were voted without scruples
against me. feel that r. Red
blooded American should tamely sub
nit to such an indecent outrage; and
l earnestly, and confidently appeal
to the voters of Granger County,
men and women for their influence,
and support at the polls.
If am SO fortunate as to be elect
ed, promise the people an open,
clean, and honest administration of
the office and | pledge my most
earnest endeavors to protect the
taxpayers against graft, and extrav-
agance. Yours very truly,
d. S. BEELER

Henry Ford announces that he
will run for President if the people
desire him to do so, but his soonsor
says that Mr.. Ford will spend no
money to secure the nomination or
election. That settles it. Sad but
true, the time has come when money
makes the voter go. In Granger
county when a man is suggested for
office, the first and probably the
only question asked is "HoW much
money will he spend?" Whether one
desires to be Constable or United

Park Review

Appearing last evening at the Park Theatre in a remarkable piece, Mrs. Fiske, one of the most anticipated and favorably sought actresses of the country, scored a triumph in the hearts of Bridgeporters. The acting by this prominent favorite was ad- 1nirable, her manner most charming and graceful and her delivery delight ful. She appeared truly as Mrs. F1ske and her cement here is certainly a novelty and treat
 A beautiful trio of children, three of the most charming youngsters of the stage, without any of the over bearing uppishness which child actors often possess make the production
 Wake Up Jonathan" was Mrs Fiske'S last seasons success at the Henry Miller theatre, New York. It is the magnificent work of Hatcher Hughes and Elmer L. Rice, two Of the leading American dramatists and pro- fessors of the drama. The piece is especially fitted to Mrs. F'iske's abil- ity, giving her plenty of opportunity to exercise her unusual sklil Tn Vhe portrayal of high class comedy.
 The prologue is one of the most de- Iightful settings, and as natural as any stage has seen. The Wayfarer, French tot with his German dog, ap- bearing on the roadside on Christmas eve reveals thought of the enjoy able and memorable past. Glimmer- ing out of a foggy winter night is the light of his former sweethearts home, and to that the wayfarer wends his way
 The action. occurring in the home he saw, is interesting and really grat- flying, the story heading like a fairy tale which Mrs. Blake, (Mrs. Fislke) tells to her children about the terrible giant until he finally beconAes the real man and father that he should be. The entire cast is well selected and chosen for ability to portray high class roles, expected of course in any play by Mrs. Fiske.
 The plot cienters around Mrs. F1Ske as Marion Blake, the wife of man whom she married for his practica- bility after refusing a man, commonly known as a dreamer The story opens on a Christmas Eve ten years later when both .1aturn, the dreamer after serving in the war with little French waif and the great man Jonathan Blake after 10 years of finance as a very success ful and self-important man in his own and Adam West still the dreamer he was. Charles Dalton in he role of the self-important egotistfc l 'athlar was excellent.

FRITZ KREISIE1R COMING
 TO POITS MARCH 12.

Audiences again and again have marvelled at the ease and the cer- tainty of Fritz Kreisler's brilliant tech- mic. They have assumed that this is the result of arduous labor but sim gularly enough. this is not the case. Kreisler explains this by saying that he has always used his mind as much and his fingers as little as possible, in practicing- He claims to be able to do more practicing in half an hour by means of concentration than many accomplish in a weeks time.
 Technic, Kreisler thinks, is almost purely a mental rather than a physi- cal matter and should be studied as such. He has often memorized a concerto on a train and given it lit tie or no practice before playing it in concert. Tt is like aiming a pis- to1,' he said one day. "You take aim. you cock the pistol, you put your finger on the trigger. A slight pressure of the finger. and the shot is fired. Now, the same thing should apply to technic on an instrument. You think before and not after you fire the note. Your muscle is pre- pared, the physical conception is per fectIy clear in your mind, a slight flash of the will power and your eff feet is achieved.
 KreisIer will be heard in concert at PoH's theatre here, Sunday after noon, March 12.
