GROH, I'm going to give you a few simple rules today to help you to get elected . president of the United States. I find in my rescarches that it de- pends largely on how many and what kind of names you have and what names your parents had. 5 For instance, cighteen out of our twenty-seven presidents had no “mid- dle” names. This is the more re- markable becausc nine-tenths of the people in this country have “middle” names. The two principal candidates this year have three names cach, though President Wilson, long ago, cruelly abandoned his first name, Thomas, ] and doesn't use it in his signature| A today. The presidents of two names cach were as follows: George Washing- ton, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, An- drew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin' ‘Pierce, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William M¢Kinley and _Theodore Roosevelt. “James” is Lucky. Next to being unhampered by a “middle” name, your best momencla- tural equipment for the presidency is to be named James. Five men so named have occupied the § White House—Madison, Monroe, ! Polk, Buchanan and Garfield. If your parents carelessly and with- | out any regard tq having’ you attain | ‘the presidency %f your native land, llilt.r:o ‘name you James; then it is to be hwd they named you either the cellar, how." Continuing the scens, Romanoff fin- ishes speaking out the above. Blanca expresses disbellef. Then leads Roman- off and her men out to look into the matter. Seene 12.

Judge Sears ruled that the Prosper- ity league will have to give up the Auditorum for the use of the “dry” forces Monday afternoon, the only open date from now till election. As the organization which has the contract with the city for ten days will conduct meetings on all days —_——————————— with the exception of Monday after- noon, the “drys” will have to be con- tent with the one date day.” { compelling the city commissioners to rent the building to the “drys” on that afternoon. granted -the right to amend the peti- | tion in accordance with the evidence to the effect that the Auditorium will be in use every day from now till election, with the exception of Mon- day, afternoon.
