Opera songbirds In this city will mean

social receptions from Portland people
who are Interested In their success.

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.

and well-developed technique, while her
interpretations reveal the, careful hand

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
