The outcome of the elections held yesterday justifies the expectations of well-informed and competent political forecasters tor the results are mixed, but on the whole the democrats have every reason to reel encouraged. So have the advocates of the conservation of popular rights against the rule of corporations in municipal government, for in the cities where this issue was drawn fairly and squarely the people’s champions were victorious. The most notable instance is the result in Cleveland, where Thomas L. Johnson was re-elected mayor in spite of the combination of corporation power and federal influence. Mayor Johnson’s creed is government for the people against specially favored interests and his victory insures the people of Cleveland the fulfillment of policies they have thrice indorsed by their votes. The promises made by the

street railway companies through Burton were mere subterfuges and the people knew it and repudiated them. The public service corporations will now be forced to deal justly with their patrons, for the people will uphold the arm of the courageous Tom L. Johnson. The election of a republican governor in Kentucky has no political significance. Local issues alone wafte.i Mr. Wilson to success, and the only expression of partisan belief in the selection of the legislature. There the democrats will have a majority and a democrat will be elected United States senator. Wilson's election was due to his alignment on the side of the whisky interests, which constitute Kentucky’s principal industry. The republican victory in Pennsylvania. in the face of the wholesale grafting on the part of the party's leaders, proves what has often been said, that the majority of the Pennsylvania voters like to be buncoed and admire the bunco man. In New York, where the republicans and so-called Independence league fused the democrats won a sweeping victory. It was a fight of democracy against an alliance of the old enemy and a cohort of the dissatisfied, engineered, it is shrewdly suspected, by the president himself. The results prove that Greater New York is loyally democratic to the core. The municipal elections in Ohio indicate general democratic gains, despite the results in Columbus, where the liquor traffic was the issue, and in Cincinnati, where the republicans who fought Boss Cox two years ago returned to his fold and won over a divided democracy. Perhaps nowhere was the trend toward democracy more forcefully illus-

Myers, of Adams street have arranged to entertain a number of their friends tonight at six o’clock dinner. A number of invitations have been issued and a good scial time is anticipated. K. of P.’s don’t forget that your presence is needed at the regular meeting tonight. A most important question is to be decided upon and your assistance is needed. The Sewing Club which was recently organized held a meeting at the home of Miss Edna Ehinger last night. The session was a very interesting one, and mucn worK was accomplished. The hostess delighted the members of the club by a dainty threecourse luncheon and this concluded an enjoyable evening spent by the members of this popular club. The next meeting will be held at the home of Miss Stella Bremerkamp, next Tuesday night. The members of this club are the Misses Ode Fullenkamp, Letta Fullenkamp, Amelia Webber, Stella Bremerkamp, Louise Brake, Margaret Center and Edna Ehinger.

The Bachelor Maids club held their initial meeting of the year at the home of Miss Mayme Center and the same jolly time as of old was experienced. Progressive euchre was played in which first prizes were won by the Misses Bert Deininger and Bert Voglewede, while the Misses Rose Center and Gertsde Radamacher consoled themselves with sec-| ond prizes.

It Will be Good—“ Too Proud to Beg" Here Next Week. Lincoln J. Carter’s latest melodramatic treat, “Too Proud to Beg” will ’ be the next attraction at the Bos-e Opera House. Wednesday, Nov. 13. This is the most effective and interesting of the new plays that have been sent on the road this season as attested by the flattering press notices and the high esteem in which it it held by the playgoers who have so far winessed it. In fact, most oi the cities it has played so far, managers have asked for a return date. The story is consistent, interesting at i all times, full of strong emotional action. deep heart interest, with bright lines of comedy, keen wit and satire that find a prominent place all through the story. There are no mechanical effects to mar the interest of the play and the railroad’ explosion, steamboat wreck and pile driving accident are left out entirely as these devices would be entirely foreign and obnoxious to the refined treatment, delicate handling and dramatic conception of the absorbing story. \ special car of beautiful scenery, complete in every iota, is needed to stage the piece. As to the cast, which is the important factor of the play, it is not going beyond reason in saying that it con tains the most prominent artists that have been seen here for many months. Among those with the company are Mr. Will N. Rogers. Leßoy Lewis. C. j. Hitchell, L. Taub Brixton, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Lewis and the clever Follis children who speak their lines in such away as to go straight to the heart of the listener. Their speciality is very refined and finished.
