CURTIS URGES
HIGHER TARIFF
C. O. p. Candidate Hits
Dem Plan to Lower
Present Duties

BOSTON. Mass. Sept. 5.-tF-The
country was called upon today by
Senator Curtis, republican vice pres
idential nominee, 70 decide between
the republican and democratic ar
ties at this election on an issue Of
higher or lower tariff duties.
Democrats, he declared. were
certain" to seek downward revision
Of the tariff. He reiterated his
pledge 70 lead a republican legisla-
tive move for a higher tariff wall.
The vice presidential nominee
spoke nc a rally at Norumbega Park
here and his prepared address was
devoted entirely TO another discus
sion OF the tariff situation.
"In my opinion" he said. 'the
tariff should be raised and not low
cred. The slightest suspicion that
the ~democSats will lower the tariff
should be sufficient reason not 10
give them the chance, while the GER
tainty that they will take that action
should be enough TO settle all doubts
as to which way you should vote"

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 1914 ira
dition 0f 33 years was broken In the
primary election Tuesday when
Gov. Fred X. Zimmerman was denied
nomination by the republicans in his
quest for q second term.
Suffering a crushing defeat that
placed him q poor third, Zimmerman
was put out Of the running, and the
choice Of the republicans lay between
Waltes j. Kohier, conservative repub-
liean, and Representative Joseph ID,
Beck, progressive.
Possibility that Kohier, prominent
manufacturer seeking political office
for the first time, might be the first
conservative nominated in ten years
lomed on the basis Of returns which
continued 20 give him a margin over
Beck, who had the support Of the
states two United States senators,
John ]. Blaine and Robert NJ. Lafol-
lette.
The outcome was still in doubt with
q race SO close that only the complete
returns may settle il. Both K0hler
and Beck were polling twice as many
votes as the governor who defeated
the progressive and conservative can
didates two years ago.
Nomination of Senator Robert NJ.
Lafollette who has been in the senate
since his fathers death three years
ago was conceded. He easily defeated
Mayor George w. Mead Of Wiscon-
sin Rapids, conservative republican.
The democratic candidates who will
seek election in the fall for governor
and United States senator we're nom
mated without opposition.
For United States senator. the DEM
ocrats named former Representative
Michael X. Reilly, Of Fond Du Lac,
Mayor A. G. Schmederman, Of Mad
is0n, former minister 10 Norway, was
named for the gubernatorial race.
Returns showed that the complete
progressive ticket with the possible
exception OF Representative Beck, was
nominated in the republican primary
These included: Lieut.. Gov. Henry a.
Huber, Attorney General John w.
Reynolds, Secretary Of State Theo-
dore DammRnn, and State Treasurer
Solomon Levitan.
They were the running mates Of
Senator Lafollette and Beck on the
progressive ticket. and opposed those
placed in the field By a conservative
republican conference which Endorsed
Kohler. The conservative candidates
for other state offices ran far behind
Kohler and there was n doubt Of the
outcome Of the contest for the minor
state offices from the start.

Ziegfeld's Method.

EOR a quarter of a century or
thereaboutS rival producers of
musical plays have been trying to figure
out just what it is about Florenz Zieg-
! field that brings him success in large
| and nluniflcent quantities.
| As a matter of fact, one of his prin-
| cipal secrets of success is devoting his
first hours every working day-and
that means every day-to the main
| tenance at firSt-night sparkle and ef-
ficiency of his current productions, no
matter how long they have been run
ming Resale" starring Marilyn Miller
and featuring Jack Donahue, is said to
be perfect example of this system.
The average producer. once he has a
success on his hands, is inclined to for
| get about 1t, except in the matter of
! counting up profits. The actors grow
stale, the costumes lose their attractive
ness through neglect and the whole pro-
duction slumps Then. usually, the box
Office receipts slump, too, and the pro-
Ziegfeld He doesn't let a Gay pass
without stressing his standing order
that costumes and production be kept
spick and span and replaced at the
! least sign of wear. Expense is not to
be considered in holding the shows to
absolute smartness and beauty. Then,
too, he insists that the musical directors,
sinners and dancers be kept at their
peak of performance. no let-down in
any detail to go unrebu&ed.
He thinks of the health of his artists,
and gives each girl desiring it a two
week holiday, there being reserve of
| qualified show girls and dancers for re-
placements When principals tire to a
point where they need a vacation ne
promptly arranges for them to lay off,
but as ziegfeld principals rarely quit
| the cast for even a single performance
unless sick in bed he seldom offers an
| understudy or substitute in an impor-
| tant role.
1t is interesting to take "Rosalie" and
recount the weekly labor and expense
of keeping it up to the ziegfeld stand
ard
"RoSalie" is musical comedy with a
| king and queen in the cast and royal
magnificence taken for granted. To hold
the show to the grandeur of its opening
it is said to require weekly expendi-
ture of approximately 100000. exclusive
of the original production cost of $780,
900. OF course, royalties and the tre-
mendouS salaries of the members of the
cast take up large portion of this ~um,
but the general public has little or no
idea of the huge cost Of keeping pro-
