niLni Lii utnuuir Ul LI1L0 in V LI 1 For President- i Theodore Roosevelt For Vice President- V ' I Hiram Johnson i LISTEN TO THIS The New York Herald, which apparently long ago made a vow never to print the name of Theodore Roosevelt in its columns, and which always refers to him as "The Third Termer" has been making elab orate preparations to print a poll it took of the dif ferent states. It announced often, in a loud voice, that this poll would appear on Sunday, October 6th. From day to day the Herald would announce that Taft was gaining; that there was a great movement to Taft; that the Progressive cause was waning; that the Democratic cause was! gaining, etc., so that we looked for this poll on Sunday morning, October 6th, with fear and trembling; and, lo and behold! we find; that it concedes almost the entire Western country to 1 Roosevelt; that it absolutely concedes Illinois by an overwhelming vote; that it gives us such states as : Connecticut; that it makes Roosevelt well up to Wil son in New York; that it would have given him the City of New York if it had not put in an overwhelm ing vote in favor of Taft, taken among the brokers of the New York Stock Exchange. Then it proceeds to . total up the different States and brings Taft in a bad second or third in all but one State. That is the way Taft is gaining. - 'it is to laugh! ,;; This advertising is perpared and paid for by the Progressive Central committee of Union County, Oregon. " ; " !

The story is one of oppression under the iron heel of capital and politics; but two central" figures predominate through the plot and these two parts werewell handled In tbA main we mfght say exceptionally well. .Jllss Ritchie 'was at her1 best in the secoud and third acts and the difficult dual role was carried ou in a mannor that makes one grip his seat arm aad wait In breathless antlrl - n 'of her next word and next move.
