WILSON LIKES PROJECT
New Jersey Governor Advocate
Andltoiitun.
Woodrow Wilson. Governor of New
Jersey, before leaving the city Friday
night for Seattle, addressed a letter to
C B. Merrick, chairman of the Audi
torium campaign committee, express
ing the hope that Portland would be
successful In building an auditorium.
The communication reads:
I hin been sreatlv Interested In what I
have heard of tb plan for aa auditorium
In Portland.
From what I have observed In ether cities
th. oatabllabment of a publlo auditorium
provide, an Invatuabl. mesne of bringing
th. mooI. Into touch with tbe best music
and most stlmutattnaethought. It also con
stitutes a civic rally.lng canter for large
movements of every kind.
I inrer.ly hop. tb. .rforta to get one
for Portland will be successful.
I am much Interested In the audi
torium movement especially from a
religious standpoint.- said Governor
Wilson today. "Supposing Cardinal
Gibbons should come to Portland and
the Cathollra here desired to show
htm unusual respect and consideration,
that the people en masse could meet
htm and see him and hear him, where
could they take him? There la no
place In the city. Tour Armory" would
not bold even an ordinary number out
of the multitude that might desire to
see him.
'It would be so not only with Car
dinal. Gibbons, but with any other
prominent man. I understand that
when Colonel Roosevelt waa here aome
time ago that there wer more people
turned away than those admitted to
the Armory. Now to me that la un
fortunate. The people become better
cttlxens by listening to th speeches
of men who give forth thought which
doea good. So It Is that an auditorium
In a large city has become a publlo
necessity. If Portland expects to be
come one of the great placea In the
country It must begin right away. I
am glad to hear that the people are
favor of the auditorium for It Is to
their personal advantage and well-being
-
The growth of the movement for an
auditorium during th last 10 daya haa
been marked. The plan haa been In
dorsed by It organisations. At a re
rent meeting the F.ast Side Business
Men's Club approved the SeOO.000 bond
Issue and the Manufacturers Assocla-
ton haa appointed a committee to co
operate with the auditorium cam
paigners.
TRe Montartlla Board of Trade will
meet Monday night In the hall on
Ilia avenue and Fast Seventy-sixth
street to discuss the proposed audi
torium. A epenker from th Com
mercial Club will address the meet
ing.

another young singer, but music lovera
who will attend th matinee this after

hear Santuzza sung with rare musical
talent. Mme. Zarad sang Azucena In

mit that the part has not. in current
recollection, been sung as well as this
young woman sang it Thursday night.
Last night, as Sibyl, .she did not have
