Miss Flavia Dryburgh Soprano, toured one season from coast to coast with the company and is the best of all the sopranos that they have had. She has given several concerts of hey own, and is at present singing in g production on ‘Broadway in New York.
‘Mr. Collin Layton studied seven years at the Damrosch Conservatory of Music and the last four years of his stay there he was the concertmeister of their college orchestra. Mr. Fenwick Newell tenor and organizer of the company has completed twelve years’ work as soloist in recital Lyceum and Chautauqua.

STUMP TO OPPOSE VARE
Democratic Senatorial Candidate Says Slush Exposes Failed To Bare All * In. Reed Investigation.
’ Albert Stump democratic candidate for United States senator pledged himself in an address at Marion to vote against the seating of William Vard of Pennsylvania and of Frank Smith of lilinois should he be elected to the United States senate. The democratic nominee for the Indiana long term senatorship addressed a dis-: trict conference of the 11th district at the court house there. » “You will recall that Senator Reed introduced a resolution to investigatq the expenditure of money in primaries,” Mr. Stump said. “You will re-1‘ call the startling disclosures<#f that investigation, disclosures which shock-‘ ed the conscience of America. Ofiiciak‘ admissions of witnesses revealed that some $3,000,000 was spent in »th(fl Pennsylvania primary merely to obtain the nomination. Sepator Reed, who! conducted the investigation declared in a public address after the investigation that he was morally, certain that not half the money spent 'in that primary was disclosed by the investigation. ° 1 : ~ “In Illinois Senator Caraway declared that information reaching him indicated that over $3,000,000 was spent in the primary there. Senator Reed’s investigation disclosed enormous sums. And he was balked in pushing the probe farther by the refusal of admitted donors to give the total amount contributed by them.
“Yet Senator Watson and Senaton Robinson both voted against the consideration of the resolution which made possible this investigation, this shedding of light into dark places in America’s political life. I shall not undertake to say how significant it i's that they voted against this motion. It is enough to say that the resolution was considered and adoped, although without the aid of Indiana’s senators.
“On the very basis that the United States senate declared in its Newberry resolution that the expenditure of $195,000 is dangerous to the perpetuity of a free government, I now declare that if I am elected to the senate I will vote to,exclude Mr. Vare and Mr. Smith should they be lected.” :
