The approaching visit February !-" of Colonel Savage's English Grand Opera songbirds In this city will mean for them, if they have opportunity to accept, a number of musical and select social receptions from Portland people who are Interested In their success. The company will be at the Marquam Grand Theater three evenings and one matinee, when these operas will be sung: "Tannhauscr." "La Bohcme," "Lohengrin" and "Faust." Mall orders for seats will be received "Wednesday. January 24. and orders for season tick ets will have the profejonce ovcrtlic ordinary sale. The- season tickctrss?lo will bcrin January 29, and the regular sale February if Anions the soprano and contralto'so loists of. the company arc: Miss Ger trude Rcnnyson, the superb dramatic soprano, whose sweet voice Is highly spoken of, together with Miss Rita Newman, the dramatic contralto, from San Francisco, and several others who are being heard in America for the first time. There is the pretty Claude Albright, the daughter of an Albu querque editor, who won her way to the Opera Comiquc .stage in Paris while she was studying abroad; Miss Flor ence Easton, the coloratura soprano, who recently arrived from Covent Gar den; Miss Margaret Crawford, of the New York Crawfords, who lias been singing in Germany during the past three years, and Miss Bertha Harmon, who was with Damrosch in his last "Western aiur. The Savage opera com pany gives I'ortlanJ Its only real grand opera season in a jrrout many years, and it is natural that society circles and clubdom should want to do all poj sible to mtike the entire engagement a success. Until IUnry W. Savage entered the amusement world with his now famous English Grand Opera Company, every impressario that had attempted to sus tain a company to give grand opera in English lost a fortune. Tne i'istory of grand operce in English dates back 5J years, but only in the p'st 10 year., since Colonel Savage founded his com pany -in Boston, has the music-loving public taken seriously to tiie endeavor. Its work each season has met with In creased success. The rporioi y has 1ccn gradually enlarged until now Colonel Savage has to his credit no lower titan S3 masterpiece; produced In the mother tongue. Over 4300 perform ances have been given, and the com pany has gone on its way with un broken financial and artistic success. The question of popularizing grand opera classics by giving thorn in tho English language and at prices within the reach of all Is no longer in doubt Colonel Savage's company thk, sa jsoii represents the best effort of his entire career. The favorite artists of last year's "Parsifal" and English l?rand opera companies have been com bined into one superb organization of over 130 people. There Is over a score of prime donnc, tenors, baritones and bassos anu a line choral body of con-scrvatory-brcd singers, ambitious .and talented. There Is hardly one of these that has not an opportunity to under study the leading principals, many of them being lifted to take the prima donna role on an hour's notice. Ono of the soundest features of the company is found in Its specially selected or chestra of symphony musicians. These number nearly 50, many of them so loists. As conductors Colonel Savage lias two of tho best-equipped grand opera directors in America. The cheva lier, N. B. Emanuel, has had 30 years' experience in leading European opera houses, possessing a reportory of 140 masterpieces. Elliott Schenckt the "Wagnerian conductor, formerly asso ciated with "Walter Damrosch, Is one of the few American musicians recog nized as a "Wagnerian authority. "THE AULD SCOTCH SANGS."

California Elects Governor This Year Issue Is Between Republic-ins and Labor Party Led by "Boss" Ruef SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. lS.-lSocclal Corrc3jrndcncc.) By a peculiar ar- j ranscmcnt X)f the laws. It happens that California has an election every year. Each November a Mayor, Governor or President Is voted for In this Ktate. This November the people will be called I vcntlons are only a few months away, and those tvho seek the nomination arc coming: into the open. As a result of tlut 113.000 plurality given Roosevelt In 1I)1. It ls. taken for granted thai .the next Governor will be a Republican, and the Democrats are experiencing; much dlffl-' culty in finding a suitable man to make the run. The fight this year tvlll be one of the most Interesting in the history of the state; for, for the first time the labor party tvill be a factor in the struggle. The party. has decided to enter state noli-' tlci: and it is generally understood that it will have a candidate for Governor. Indications now lead one to think that Mayor Schmltz, of San Francisco, will be called uppn to become the party's candi date. In case Schmltz decides to run, an attempt will be made to have the Republicans nominate hint. Failing in this, the Labor party will hold a conven tion of its own and name him. It Is hardly probable that the Republi cans will consent to nominate Schmltz: In fact, such a turn of events appears too Improbable to receive serious consid eration at the present moment. For the Republican nomination, there will be a host of candidates led by George C. Par dee, who has been Chief Executive of the state for the past four years. A boom has already been launcheel in Northern California, for Congressman Gillett. who Is filling his second term in the lower houpc nt Washington. Congressman J. O. Hayes, of San Jose, lias made no se cret of his ambition to take Pardee's place in Sacramento. As matters now Bland, these three arc the leading candi dates for tho nomination, with chances favoring Pardee. There is another candidate, however, who lias not yet come into the open, and who has commanded strength In the past in -the. person of Tom Flint, of San Juan. This Flint is in no way re lated to' United States Senator Flint, of California. In fact, the two men arc diametrically opposed In their methods. Senator Flint is an organization man who was launched Into politics by the railroad. Tom Flint spells all that is hateful to the organization and the rail road. He has. been sidetracked for the past two years because he refused to take railroad programme, and he may find it- difficult to again set a firm grasp upon things political. Pardee is more than eager to succeed himself. Jt is the step he believes which will take him to the United States Sen ate. Pardee. In general, has made a very satisfactory record as Governor. He has been successful In greatly Improving the court system of the slate, and has re formed state taxation. "Ho has shown himself more of a politician than lie-was thought to be, and has not offended the great powers of the party. "Were the convention tomorrow, he would bo nomi nated. His chief work, therefore, will consist in keeping his men. In line .and preventing factional spHt-ups. Gillett and Hayes will try to turn the tide on the cry. "divide the honors." This cry "will carry weight, as Alameda County, which is Governor Pardee's homo county, has taken to Itself the lion's share of Republican patronage. From Alameda come Secretary of Commerce and Labor Mctcalf, Senator Perkins. Gov ernor Pardee. Collector of the Port StraU tan. Naval Officer Irish, "beside a large, percentage of the Supreme Court Jus tices. It Is thus felt that Alameda County can well afford to give up the Governor ship. Tom Flint will only come out in- tho open for the nomination In case the fight grows so strenuous that a compromise candidate will be welcome. Flint has no use for organbsatloos and the railroad. He served in the State Senate with (dis tinction, but was forced out, when 4he issu was drawn and he AeAed the rail road. He -was refed the aetata tlcra : MARQUAM GRAND THEATER ,5k. : ANNOUNCEMENT Monday, Evening, January 22 '06, 2?IeIt 2 The World's Greatest "Carmen" and Lyric Soprano, Madam Emma ICALVE!

He may be produced by the'reformcrs as an anti railroad candidate. The Issue appears to be drawn between the Republicans and the Labor party, led by Ruef. State politics is a. harder game for the Labor party than city politics. Interest in the approaching contest is already greatly; aroused. Madame Modjeska has been appearing in San Francesco this week to crowded houses, and the critics say that time has not dlniinshed' the art of the great act ress. 9ome of the fire of by-gone day3 la absent, but all the subtleties are there.
