ton but one for 2s years. Neverthe-
less, the fight is in New York City, tine
home of the Tammany tiger, and
started with all the surroundings
which wealth and brains and popular
prejudice can secure to gain their
ends.
The keynote speech Of Pat Harrison
of Mississippi, temporary chairman.
was a brilliant effort in which he
raked the Republicans fore and aft.
He was followed by Senator Thomas
J. Walsh Of Montana, whose stirring
speech marked the Wednesday session.
Walsh is permanent chairman. Yes
terday came the great fight over the
platform, and balloting is to begin
this afternoon.
News-Champion has made arrange
ments to secure bulletins Of the bal
lots. 1t is thought the voting will be
long drawn-out, since it is improbable
that any of the dozen candidates can
secure a two-thirds vote for days.

Amid thrilling scenes and tremend-
Gus excitement at times, the great ma
tional Democratic convention is being
held in New York City this week. The
heat is terrific, yet crowds jam Ma5i-
SON Square Gardens at every session.
Overshadowing issues are the bitter
attacks on McAdoo. leading candidate
whom the Wall Street financiers hate
with an enmity only second to that
which enraged them against Wilson
Under cover of false and misleading
charges that he is K X. X, they are
melting the Catholics and foreign born

Smith Of New York to kill the popular
leader Of the masses with the belief
that these candidates will destroy each
other and that then they can no1hinate
nondescript dark horse, subject to
their control, as Harding was put over
in the Republican convention Of 1920
The probabilities are that they will
fail. since McAdoo is a fighter from
the ground up and has taken their
measure. He has also the support OF

The six Rotarians and Rotariannes
from Gunnison, who attended the ma

that they are having a magnificent
time on their trip and that everything
is being done to make the visit q pleas

ronto turned out to help entertain and
the only grief they have is that they
must pay forty cents for Camel cigar

From Toronto they went to the Thous-

Noted Singer Was
Well Received Here

The recital given by Rena Lazelle,
soprano of the San Francisco Opera
Company, proved to be one of the most
pleasing events of its kind ever pres
ented in the city. This is the first
of two numbers to be given during the
summer as part OF the ra0allar en-
tertainment program for thp Simmer
session of the Western State College.
Jules Falk, violinist Of international
reputation, will appear July 26 in the
other number.
Miss Lazelle has a very extraordin-
AIRY voice which she uses with the
ease and adaptability of an artist of
the highest order. Her personality is
most pleasing, and large part of the
success Of the evening may be at
tributed to her charming manner. Her
encores were gracious and liberal and
furnished the really popular part Of
the concert.
The feature of the program was
its historical aspect-there being COM
bined with her artistic performance a
sketch Of song history. Songs from
the 18th and 18th centuries to the
present day "modernist" school of
composers, were given, accompanied

Needs Of Highway in
North County Loca-
ton

The Mcclure Pass boosters met on
Wednesday of this week at the sum.
init of the pass in Northern Gunnison
county; the gathering being attended
by fully $50 enthusiastic citizens from
both sides.
Paonia people declared holiday
and with citizens of Somerset, Crested
Butte and the Upper Muddy, were al
most 200 strong. Supervisor Miller
had graded the road so that it was in
very good condition up to within three
miles Of the pass From the Colorado
river side boosters from Glenwood,
Aspen, Marble and Carbondale were
on deck $50 strong. From both sides
the people were taken to the pass OF
horseback, the horses being furnished,
some of them making the round trip
several times.
A Ford car was actually at the
picnic, several cowboys of the North
Fork having roped one and dragged
il up from Lee creek. It is beauti-
full spot on the pass, with water and
grass and charming surroundings in
every way.
Colonel Peck, chief of the forestry
bureau of the Denver district, was
present and with road and county Of
licials took part in the program. Mr..
Miller and Commissioners Sullivan
and Knowles attended from this part
Of the county.
The main object was to impress the
forestry people and state highway
men of the feasibility of the road and
the demand for it. No definite prom
ises were made. but there is little
doubt but that the Mcclure Pass high
way is going to be put thru, probably
in 1925. The people behind it are
boosters from the word go, and in
tend to keep after the proposition.
The funds must, Of course. be furnish
ed in great part by the forestry road
bureau and the state of Colorado.
The three large towns Of Marble,
Somerset and Crested Butte in our
county, are strong for it.

not content with one style only, each
season marks new trails blazed by
this great pioneer She appears here
November -.
Her first great success was the
presenting Of the Oriental religious
dance to European and American
audiences. this long before the Rus
sian ballet had dealt with an Oricn
tai theme. Her early Hindou dances
were rapidly followed by an clabor-
ate Egyptian production at the AM
stcrdam Theatre, New York, this be-
ing the first time any dancer had
revived the ancient Egyptian art as
basis for new style Of dance.
Now we have myriads of Egyptian
! Dancers" with their angular pos
lures, all following in the footsteps
Of Ruth st. Denis. A few years later
she produced Japanese dance play.
for Il season at the Fulton Theatre,
which was acclaimed by the Japan
Society of America as the first time
that the true feeling of Japanese
art and dancing had been interpreted
by an Occidental.
Soon her attention travelled to
another phase of the dance, the more
! scholarly translation of the music
OF the great classic composers into
mathcmatically exact movements
while also rendering visible the emo
tional coloring of the music. Thi:
she called Music INSTALLATION and
her first great experiment was thu

jumped ahead and is presenting

music at all and the critics of Ne'
York and Boston are sitting u
writing columns to say that she ha
made a real contribution to the ar
OF the dance. Next year when tn

themselves with the Dance as a
