Miss Louise Muench and Horace Brackway Took Prizes For Best Cos. tumes.

AT THE DlAVIS THEATRE Katinka. Katinka, written before the great war, with adventures l.t Russia, Turkey and Austria, now at bayonet points, drew a very large house at the Davis theatre Wednesday night and from the applause received the company made a hit. The semi-royal palace scene in Russia, where the wedding festivities transpired and the picturesque Oriental street of Old Stamboul, the gay musical resort in Vienna, mingled with laughter, gayety and song could not be improved upon. Rackety Coo, sung by Margaret Owen as Katinka and John Roberts as Ivan won high favor. The play centered around Phil Ry-ley as Thaddeus Hopper, the American, and Mae Phelps, his wife, who in the style characteristic of Americans kept the audience at high pitch, while Eddie Lambert as Herr Knopf, small in stature, furnished laughter in plenty.

The Russian and Circassian dances given by EJinore Vincent and Nicholas Kovas were out of the ordinary and were well received. "I Want to Marry a Male Quartette," by Mrs. Hopper and a quartette was one of the feature numbers. "Katinka," by Ivan and a male chorus, full of harmony, was well received by the audience. Katinka was a little Russian maiden, with a heart of her own, but with a hand not at her disposal.

It was for the latter reason that she was forced into a disagreeable marriage with the elderly Boris, while her heart yearned for the handsome young Ivan. Ivan saw no reason to bow to fate because KatinVi did. With the assistance of a wide-awake American friend, he did a little amatur detective work that led to the discovery that Boris already had one wife, who had refuge In a Turkish harem to escape from her hated husband. Overjoyed at his discivery, they kidnapped Katinka while the wedding festivities were at their height, and the three set out for Turkey to discover the whereabouts of the Iirst Mrs. Boris.

Katinka, to aid their plans the better, was passed off as Mrs. Hopper. Matters were moving swimmingly in Old Stamboul when the real Mrs. Hopper put in an unexpected appearance. Before the-awkward situation could be cleared up.

Jt was discovered that Mrs. Boris Number One had gone to Vienna, and the entire party consequently adjourned to that city. There, in the capital of European waltBing gaety, all shadows were dispelled and everybody made happy. FUNERALS. Mrs.

ENTHUSIASM AT REPUBLICAN RALLY Ex-Governor Dillingham of Vermont and Congressman Walsh of Massachusetts Stirred Gathering at Town Hall Speakers Introduced by Mayor Allyn L. Brown Reception at Wauregan House Preceded Rally Red Fire and Band Drew Large Crowd.

Between three and four hundred re- publicans gathered in the town hall on Wednesday evening to hear Senator William Paul Dillingham of Vermont and Congressman Joseph Walsh of 'Massachusetts discuss the issues of the presidential campaign. Included among those present were a dozen or more women who manifested much interest in the two addresses. Preceding the rally at the town hall there was a reception for the speakers at the Wauregan house, when they were presented to a number of prominent citizens. Acting as a reception committee were Mayor Allyn L. Brown, chairman, James L.

Case, L. O. Smith, Frederic W. Cary, Oliver L. Johnson and Henry A.

Tirrell. Tubbs' military band gave an hour's concert in front of the hotel. Main street side. Just before 8 o'clock a large number if republicans in double file and headed by the band marched up Broadway and into the hall. The line of march was ablaze with red Brown Presides.

Mayor Allyn L. Brown presided at the rally. A burst of enthusiasm greeted Mayor Brown as he arose from his seat. Ladies and gentlemen, for we are pleased to see that there are some ladies present said the mayor, I am very glad to welcome you here tonight. Mayor Brown spoke of the republican party as being thoroughly reunited and said that evidences of this have already been seen in the caucuses held recently.

We don't want two parties, he continued. What we want is a united party. I think, perhaps, we have had too much prosperity, and think we have been taught a lesson for the past four years we have had a minority president, a man chosen by something like a million and a quarter votes less than the majority, and he has left no stone unturned in his efforts to strengthen his position. Theodore Roosevelt, great man thought he has been, never did a greater thing than when he stepped out of the way and let Hughes take the lead. Brown said important as Hughes nomination in June was to the party, he believed it far more important that he be chosen president in the coming election and at this point the audience heartily approved his statement with a shower of applause.

When you think of Wrvdrow Wilson, the man, how does he impress you? He hasn't measured up to ttie full standard of a man. The republican candidate is a man who, when he says a thing, means it. We are fortunate in having with us to night two men who have been in close touch with the government at Washington, and it gives me pleasure to introduce as the first speaker, Congressman Joseph Walsh, of Massachusetts. Have Democrats Redeemed Their Pledges? Another enthusiastic Durst resounded as Congressman Walsh took the floor. It Is indeed a pleasure and an an honor to be asked to come to this industrious city and say a few words In behalf of the republican candidate and of republican principles, said Congressman Walsh in his opening words.

We are now approaching the presidential election, he continued, and you in corn-common with your fellow voters throughtout the land will determine the questions. The first important question which must be decided is whether the present administration in Washington has fulfilled its promises and made good its pledges, whether you are satisfied that they have redeemed their pledges. I am proud to come to this particular district represented by Congressman Richard P. Freeman (applause). He has made a place in congress, and I can nssure you he is honored, especially by those of as who represent the republicans.

It gives me pleasure to be in company with Senator Dillingham, a real leader of the United States Senate and, gentlemen, ycu will will find that the real leaders are in the republican ranks. I want to call your attention to one of the claims made. That is, namely, that the president has kept us out ot war. To be kept out of war It must first be necessary for some nation to be plotting to drag us into war. I esk you if you believe that any of the belligerent nations have been anxious to drag us into war? Have the allies Indicated any desire that we fight Germany On the other hand, do you think that Germany is anxious for us to go war? No, those nations are thankful today that we have kept out of war.

Who has kept Switzerland out of waiv surrounded as she is by the bel liferent nations? There she is, calm nnd serene. Who has kept Norwav. Sweden and Denmark out of war? They are right on the verge of the battle zone. We are a great nation, 3,500 miles away and yet they would have you believe that they have kept us out of war. You well recall Vera Cruz, when nine, teen of our noble boya gave up their lives.

That, gentlemen, was an act ot war. Tou all recall an attack of the present Mexican chief and our soldiers; some were killed and others taken prisoners. That, gentlemen, was an act of war. Tou will find that our country is in a state of war with the Mexican nation, for our tfoops are on foreign soil. These acts bear the trademark, the stamp of democratic rule under Woodrow Wilson.

American Lives Sacrificed. -American lives have been sacrificed and our women outraged, our children slaughtered, their property destroyed, and they ask us, "What would you have done?" The problem Is, ratner, "What are you going to do?" When the present administration took power they found an embargo on arms and munitions, placed there by the republican party. Was that embarero al lowed to remain? No, it was lifted. If it had not been lifted fifteen million dum dum bullets would not have reached those roaming murderers in Mexico. In considering this chapter of our history, consider well wether you can go forth with head upright and a feeling of pride at the action our country has taken, or whether you will blush with shame at the programme that has been committed.

The majority of the people are not willing to endorse that phase of democratic rule. Congressman Walsh said that the president has changed his mind no less than three times, in regard to the Mexican situation. Crowning it all, he continued, we have the present sec. retary of war comparing Washington and his men, those noble patriots, who made possible our government, with those bandits in Mexico. He says the men fighting in Mexlso today are the same kind of menEhat fought with Washington.

Do you believe they slaughtered children? Do you believe they outraged women? It is not only an Insult to thlse patriots, but it is an Insult to us. (Rebuke that In sult, said the seaker in closing, by going to the polls and indicating your confidence in our peerless leader, that the Stars and Stripes may float, symbolic of the greatest nation on God's footstool, (Allpause.) Mayor Brown then introduced as the second and last speaker of the evening, Senator William Paul Dillingham, now serving his third term and an ex-governor of the state of Vermont. Senator Dillingham Introduced. Senator Dillingham like the previous speaker, was accorded a hearty wel come by those in the hall. In his opening words he referred briefly to the Mexican situation, endorsing the statements made by Congressman Walsh.

In reference to the existence of a state of war between Mexico and the United States Senator Dillingham said that it would necessarily be so or those bandits who killed our soldiers would be counted nothing more or less than murderers. In part Senator Dilngham spoke as tollows: During the debates in the United States senate on the Underwood tariff bill in 1913 John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi challenged the proposition that a protective tariff increases the rate of wages paid to operatives in the United States and defended his position upon the broad proposition that wages are high in any country Just in proportion as institutions are free; he madt the broad assertion that even in the colonial days every traveler from either England or France who visited the American colonies noted the high amount of pay received -by labor, whether common or skilled, and insisted that since the organiation of our government and the advance of free institutions every historian has noted the existence of the same fact. I have no disposition to differ with him regarding the historic fact. Every well read man knows that low wages are the bequest of serfdom; that wages are lowest where despotism is most arrogant and caste most exclusive; that the rate of wages paid indicate the type of every government by era and by country. In the orient, where the most grinding tyranny has been practiced, wages have been infinitisimal in amount-Labor conditions in Egypt and Japan, with all their progress, are even now a vivid reminder of the.

fact. In the United States where, as the F.nglish historian, McKenzie, tells us the people were bold enough to form a government based upon principles diametrically opposed to those upon which all previous governments had toeen based, wages advanced from the beginning and have been maintained as nowhere else in the world. Prior to the Civil war we had been a slave controlled nalion for 40 years. Cotton was king, but 80 per cent, of it was exported. Today corn is king, and 98 per cent, of it finds a home market.

Wheat nearly equals cotton in value, and 70 per cent, of that crop goes to satisfy the American appetite. What has wrought this mighty change? What his brought us from obscurity and made the United States the leading nation of the world? The answer is found in the republican platform of 1-860, and in the admirable constructive statesmanship which for a half century has found expression in the administration of the affairs of the nation. Under the Homestead Act. In the very first year of its administration the republican party opened up to free labor the great public domain upon which the slave power had vainly looked with greedy eyes. Under the homestead act we opened up in 40 years farms twice as great in number as those opened up during two centuries of colonial and national life.

Our agricultural resources have advanced by leaps and bounds until at the present time the cultivated land of the United States alone is greater in area than the entire territory, cultivated or otherwise, of the United-Kingdom, Germany, France, Greece and Portugal combined. But the vision of the republican leaders extended Into the futurt and they saw there must be created a home market for- the fruits of this vast and fertile area. In order to establish that system of national exchanges recommended in the republican platform of I860, and to protect American labor in the advantages which had resulted from free institutions, it adopted the protective principle in its tariff legislation and, under the Merrill act, the manufactured products of the United States so advanced both In volume and value that in 1870 they equalled In value those of France; in 1880 they equalled those of England; In 1890 they had so multiplied that their value was greater than those of England and France combined, and in the year 1900 Bis-mark's prophecy was fulfilled and the manufactured products in the United States were found to be greater in value than those of England, Germany and France combined, and the United States had under our protective policy "passed Europe at a In this magnificent development we have advanced from a nation of 31 states to one of 48. The workingmen of each stand upon precisely the same basis and while under republican administration they have been protected against foreign competition, they have sharpened their wits in competition with each other, the men of one state against those of every other state, with an efficiency which has reduced the cost of production and prevented that increase in the price of commodities which our enemies charge against our system. What the Home Market Means.

What does this home market mean to us? It means that the interchange of commodities among the people of the several states is actually greater in amount than the foreign trade of all the nations of the world combined. Under this comprehensive system inaugurated by the republican party and vigorously pushed for a full half century, and as bitterly opposed by the democratic party, we haye become the wealthiest nation of the world and the material condition of the masses has advanced beyond all precedent. The wealth of the people has advanced from $513 per capita in 1860 to $1,966 In 1910. I have already called attention to the fact that in the development of our manufactured products we had 1-6 years ago exceeded in value those of the three principal nations of Europe and that they at that time amounted to the enormous sum of $11,000,000,000 annually. But that only half telle the story, for In the intervening period, 1900 to 1910, we doubled our output and the increase alone Is greater in amount than the entire output of England.

Another Result of Industrial Move ment.

The nation is divided in its indus tries as it is in its political thought East of the. Rocky mountains and north of the Ohio river are found 78 per cent, of the wage earners in our industries; in the same territory 81 per cent, of the nation's wages are paid and 81 per cent, of all of our manufactured products are ttirned out. All this is the result of the great in dustrial movement inaugurated by the republican party and carried into op eration by men who respect free labor. who recognize its dignity and its im portance, and who understand that if our republic is to continue the masses must be intelligent as well as moral and that comfortable homes are the basis of both. Mark the improved conditions of New England.

We are small in area, occupying only 2 cent, of continental United States. Our valleys are narrow, our seasons short and extreme. Water powers abound, but we are blessed neither with deposits of coal, oil or metals. But our people are the best fruits of our system active, enterprising, self respecting, independent in thought and action and quick to take the lead in industrial activity. Under the policy of protection New England has made a phenomenal advance.

In the 20-year period between 1880 and 1900 she erected no less than 2.500 new factories, while in the succeeflfsag JO -year period between 1900 and 1910 she increased the capital invested full 37 per adding to that already invested more than $1,000,000,000, while the amount of wages paid employes jumped from $420,000,000 to $667,000,000 annually.
