STILL THE BEST

Blue songs are the particular
pets Of Miss Nora Bayes and II is
no wonder that she cuddles and
fOndles them much as a mother
would her most promising off
spring. Miss Bayes Is several
country miles ahead OF any
other blues songster, mainly be-
cause she Is possessed of ideal
mannerisma and the voice for
her peculiar field of endeavor.
Miss Bayes, recently back from
dear old Lunnon town, popped
the latest novelty on the Keith
patrons when she stepped blithely
to the fore with a silver wig
covering her uppermost extrem-
lily. After q song she naieVeIy
removed it and volunteered the
information that the grayish
locks disclosed were not wig.
Totally unnecessary.
Songs that have made her IA
nous were among those she sang,
and her epeated matrimonial
ventures found an outlet in
clever little piece wherein she
sang Of the glories Of singleness.

LOUD AND LLOYDISH
LAUGHTER

Laugh and grow fat! Laugh and
grow thin! Whichever way it may
work, he who can go to the Metro
politan Theater this week and at
the end Of an hour and a half
still retain his original weight, is
fit only for the home for dumb
animals; he cannot be human.
The be goggled comedian, Harold
Lloyd, in his @e.test laughing
machine, "Hot Water" is the
cause. Perhaps not so full Of
thrills as previous Lloyd pictures,
and a bit slow in getting started.
But Harold Lloyd may still be
depended upon to furnish an hour
or so OF good, clean ha-ha-ing.
There is not a great deal to
tell about the story of Hot
Water" 1t might just as well be
called How He Got Rid of His
Mother-ip-Law'' or The First
Year" Anyhow. the laughs start
when Harold wins the prize tur-
key, accelerate a little with the
arrival of the new car: they ap-

lowed by his playmate, Delmer Cour-
chene, when suddenly the lad choked
and emitted a groan, relinquishing his
hold on the railing, having been over
come by the rise of damp gas from the
mine. He fell about so feet to the
bottom of the shaft. It is believed
the fall broke his neck and that death
was instantaneous.
Young COurchene climbed to the ton
and ran to Earl Hammond, who was
working on a threshing rig in a near

ran Immediately to the mine and

FL. PARTY TO
KEEP LAFOLLETTE
ELECTORS ON BALLOT
PASS RESOLUTION URGING THE
SENATOR'S ADMIRERS TO
VOTE THEIR ELECTORS.

Helena, Mont, Sunday, Sept. s.
Apparently not disheartened by the
refusal of the LaFollette supporters
to accept the electors of the farmer
labor party, the candidates of that
party for state offices in convention
assembled yesterday passed a reso-
luton requesting all persons who de-
sire to support Robert M. La Toilette
for president to vote for the electors
.of the farmer-labor party who are
pledged to tn Wisconsin Senator
The resolution also expressed the
hope that the La Toilette managers
would abandon the idea of placing a
separate set of presidential electors
on the ballot for the November eloc-
ton.
The convention of the farmer-la-
Dor party opened its sessions Friday
and from time to time yesterday dis
cCssed the situation with members of
the meeting of La Toilette supporters
which was held at the Placer hotel
The farmer-labor party convention
was held at the Harvey hotel. The
party's platform will be completed
today, it was announced last evening.
A number of the delegates left for
their homes yesterday, however.
THE
RESOLUTION
The resolution of the farmer-labor
party in full is as follows:
Whereas; during the past six
weeks there have been friendly dis
cussions among representatives of
the La Toilette group, the Conference
for Progressive Political Action and
members of the Farmer-Labor party
in the matter appertaining to La Fol
lette electors for the state of Mon
tana, and;
Whereas; In such discussions
there has been no disagreement in
that there should be but one set of
La Toilette electors on the election
