IN SEPIA TONES
These are the main assets of
"The Firefly" and they are quite
enough to offset a story that
sometimes moves ponderously,
because it is heavily overstuffed
with incident.
The original operetta has
been considerably revamped,
and that fellow, Napoleon, is in
again. For it is the Little Cor
poral'S dreams of conquest that
animate the fiction.
Jeanette Macdonald makes
the most fascinating of spies.
She not only sings, but she
filings around voluminous skirts
and clicks castinets as a dancer.
For Jeanette is Nina Maria, an
agent of the Spanish Secret
Service, intensely patriotic, and
determined to foil the plans of
her country'S invaders.
1t seemed that Napoleon was
trying to install his brother, Jo-
seph, on the throne of Spain to
replace the reigning Ferdinand.
So Nina keeps her eyes and ears
open while she is entertaining,
flirts with the French officers,
all for the cause of country.
DONKEY SERENADE
To ward off an aggressive mill
tary man, Nino Maria accepts
the attentions of a stalwart
young singer, Don Diego, who
promptly declares his devotion
and follows her wherever she
goes.
OF course you can guess what
happens. Don Diego is really of
the French Intelligence office,
and there are quite few COM
plicationS before they finally
ride off together, blissfully
happy, in a donkey cart. An
operetta war story with all of
its inconsistencies and old-faSh-
ioned charm. But who cares as
long as there are two glorious

Waged for the two vacancies created
on the North Carolina Supreme Court
by reason of the constitutional amend

the November election.
Ever since it became known that
the courts membership would be in
reased to seven, numerous bar asso-

been passing resolutions endorsing
their resident district superior court
judges for the places and in this man.
ner more than half of the twenty
jurists have had their names put in
nomination.
The tough part about the thing, as
far as hackers of various candidates
are concerned, is that nobody has
known where to concentrate his fire.
since there has been more than a lit
tie dispute over the manner in which
the places are to- be filled. Some au-
thorities have contended. that the as
sembly would do the filling. Others
have declared that the governor has
the appointive power. Still. others
have maintained that nothing could
be done until an election a: which the
sovereign voters might speak.
So far in this legislative session the
only active step has been introduction
of q bill calling for appointment of
the two extra justices in the manner
provided by law which would mean
that the governor would appoint them
to serve until the next general cleo
ton when the places would be- voted
on by the people.
But on the quiet (of course judicial
campaigns are never conducted. with
the noise of mere lay battles) friends
of every superior court judge in the
State are working hard.

attention in all parts of the State on

that the main question involved is.

that President Graham has overruled

.VANDENBERG- AFTER
!. G.. 0. P. NOMINATION
And Fish Wants Second
Place on Ticket in 1910;
Already at Work
By CHARLES, p. STEWART

Washington, Jan. 11--Watch Sena-
tor Arthur III. Vandenberg of Michi-
gan and Representative Hamilton
Fish, Jr., of New York, at this ses-
sion of Congress; at the next session
also.
They have a hard job on their hands
but are digging. into it like couple
of Trojans.
Their task is to have a formidable
Republican party in the running again
in 1910. For that matter, they would
like to have it in operation once more
by the congressional campaign of 1888
but they want to be sure of 1910
Senator Vandenberg has it in mind to
capture the G.. o. P. presidential nomi-
nation in the latter year. Representa-
tive Fish has the G. o. p. vice presi-
Dental nomination in mind in the
same year of grace.
BEGINNING NOW
Naturally neither one desires to be
beaten at the polls if his candidate
rial ambitions are realized.
And each is quite aware that the G..
0. p. must be considerably resusci-
tated in the meantime if he is to es-
cape electoral defeats even though he
may win his partys nomination.
Both, too, are fully conscious that
now is none too soon to begin their
preliminary, spade-work-not only to
have an effective G. o. p. a-going
nearly four years hence, but perhaps
to prevent it's complete 1isintegration
by 1888 or soon thereafter should it
suffer then another as terrific a lick
ing Cor progressively worse one) as
in 1882, 1884 and last year.
VANDENBERG'S POSITION
Vandenberg does not say so flat
footedly but he manifestly is not over
ly well satisfied with his party's Sen
ate leadership.
It's official leader is Senator Chas.
l.. McNary. CT Oregon.
Now, McNary is not exactly New
Dealer but he has been conspicuously
charitable toward New Deal policies.
Vandenberg is not a reactionary,
either; he is moderate liberal. How
ever, he is not & compromising Repub-
lican. 1 would not say that he is, at
least as yet, bolter from McNary's
leadership. Nevertheless he is a lead
er on his own accountant COM
petent one; he is forceful character.
If he had fought for it he might have
had the G. 0. p. presidential nomina-
| ton at Cleveland. His party simply
