THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER I*. 190*.
HAVE JjjflD JOB
It’s Up to Them to Preserve*
Harmony if They
Can.
Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 10.—The Repub
lican state convention to assemble here
amorrow l» the talk of the hour. The
„ rt y leader* have already begun to
arlve. The Indication* point to a large
ton'd! though, »o far a* delegate* are
oncerned, It will be the *malle*t Re-
mbllcan convention held In Ohio ‘for
Jiany year*. This la because of the
lllht vote cast for Governor Herrick
last fall.
The convention will be a two days’
affair. The Initial session will be held
late tomorrow afternoon, after the dis
trict meetings for the selection of vice
•residents and members of committees
nave been held. The opening session
• 111 be limited to hearing the keynote
ioeech of former Governor Herrick,
who will be temporary chairman. The
actual business of the convention will
pefln at 10 o'clock Wednesday mom-
lB The convention will name candidates
r minor state offices, from aecreary
mate down. No governor Is chosen
this year. The most of the present
itate officers are candidates for re-
election, leaving but two places on the
ticket for which there are contests—
the nomination for secretary of state
and that for state dairy and food
commissioner. The nomination for sec
retary of state Is, of course, the most
mportant and consequently la attract-
j* the most attehtlon. The candi
dates are numerous, but Carml A.
Thompson, of Ironton, speaker of the
reneral assembly, and State Senator B.
• Wirt, of Youngstown, appear to be
, the lead.
But of more general Interest than
lie nominations will'be the resolutions
aimed by the convention. The Im
portance of the railway rate legisla
tion, the position of President Roose
velt on that matter, the action of Sen
ator Foraker In opposing the measure,
with his voice ana vote, make this a
most Important matter. How to In
dorse one senator and not condemn the
other; how to Indorse the president
with sufflclent definiteness and not
condemn Senator Foraker, and how to
suit the admirers of the president and
those who differ from hls policy, of
fers a Scylla and Charybdls proposi
tion to the platform builders, the like
of which has not been handed to them
recently In Ohio.

There were about 7,500 policies In force

Is understood that the losses to t
members will be email, many of them
never having been called upon Tor an
assessment. Five dollars will proba
bly cover the maximum loss to any In'

The piece has filled an engagement of
160 nights at the Fourteenth street the

claimed It "The most amusing thing

many features were add^d to tin* en

"The Country Club." "I’m Not at Liber

"Different Ways of Proposing." Mr.

"How Hearts Are Broken."
It Is promised that the sensational
and emotional drama, "Hon- Hearts Are
Broken,” which Is being announced at
the Bijou for this week, will establish
Itself locally as one of the season's
most prominent dramatic favorites. The
story centers about a poor and beauti
ful girl who la secretly married and
later deserted by n wealthy, but un-
irinclpled man of the world. The ac-
Ion of the play takes plhce In a pic
turesque village on the seaconst of
Maine, where the presence of summer
visitors from, the cities nnd the simple
natives offer a wide contrast of char
acters In the unfolding of the plot.
Circumstances, however, connect them
In a series of novel nnd original events,
and Interesting dlnlngues, all of which
cause them to blend In a harmony of
realism that Is seldom found upon the
stage,
"Coming Thro’ the Rye.”
Some of the notable song hits In
“Coming Thro’ the Rye” are ”1 Know
a Girl Like You,” 'It Must be Love.”
‘Stage Struck Girls,” "My Broncho
Boy," "What Do You Think of That?”
In My Cause" and the "Sandman."
Mnny of theap hnve nlrendy found their
way In the street organ repertoire and
upon musical programs nt dunces, and
bctwccn-the-act selections In thea
ters. This Is a distinction which song
writers covet.
"Coming Thro’ the Rye" Is nnnounccd
as one of the Grand's early bookings.
