 Scores In London
 His first appearance on the Lon don stage was in 1891. He scored as great success there as he had in the United States.

York, building up an enor- nous popularity throughout the country.

 One of his most celebrated plays, with which he toured the United States, was ''The Heart of Paddy Whack," play that kept him en- gagged from 1914 to 1916. He then starred in "Machusia,p from 1913 until 1921.

Over the hills in Yakima coun-
ty a warm fight is being started
against the constitutional amend
ment to redistrict the state for the
Legislature. The Yakima opposi-
ton takes the position that under
the measure, Yakima County,
which has ambitions, will never be
able to get more than 81 percent
of the legislature seated from that
county in spite of its size, and
that if the amendment carries
never will any county ever be able
to wrest the necessary two-thirds
control to force another amend
ment to effect q change.
King county is apparently do
ing nothing.
The amendment provides that
every county in the state shall have
at least one House member and no
county shall ever have more than
81 percent Of the total member
ship.
Another initiative which is find
ing opposition in the COW counties
is the game control measure. The
smaller counties assert it means
stripping them of their right to
control their own game. 1t has be-
come a "home rule" type Of cam
paign.

There is also little doubt but a
condition similar to that of the
1918 session when Progressives
and Democrats had members seat
ed will prevail next winter.
The liberty party is due to elect
several House members unless all
sings fail. However, there will not
be enough minority party MEM
bers to interfere with Republican
control unless, some of those
nominated and elected as Repubi-
cans turn out to be what nots.
According to campaign mana
