“GRAUSTARK” ESS AN AYS
GREATEST PI AY HERE AT
PRINCESS NEXT THURSDAY.
What is prohahly the greatest
photoplay romance ever seen in
a Ballinger playhouse will he
exhibited at the Princess next
Thursday of next week—with the
unbeatable combination of Ess- i
anav, Francis X. Bushman, Bev- i
erley Bayne, and George Barr Me
Cutcheons most popular novel,
“Graustark.”
This production will introduce
to Ballinger audiences for tlw'
first time, the Vitagraph-Lxibin-1
Selig-Essanay Inc., program,
known as the “V.L.S.E” service.'
Their posters, advertising, etc.,'
is of the highest possible quality,
and their play have taken the
public by storm. In Dallas re-1
entlv a “V.L.S.E.” spectacle
n in the Hippodrome for a per-
iod of three weeks, even outlast-
ing that far famed picture “The
Birtli of a Nation.” These pie
tures are made by the old mas-
ters in the realm of motion pic-
tures. “Graustark” is one of
Essanay’s greatest pictures if not
tlie greatest Essanay, who made
“One Wonderful Night,” and
scores of other successes in Ibis
feature has scored a- positive
t Humph.
The Bushman feature will he
followed by ♦other “V.L.S.E.”
subjects, and every one will se. in
better than the one previously
shown. “Movies” cannot be ap-
plied to these pictures, theirs is
an art just as much as that of
a Rembrandt, or a Corot.
But see the picture first, and
then discuss it.

St. Louis, Dallas, and San Fran
cisco. Lengthy arguments and
pyrotechnics were schedu led.
Called to order at 11 o’clock to-
day at the New Williard Hotel
by Chairman MeCooinhs, this
morning's session was largely
i outinc.
There were eight vacancies on
the committee, in two of these
there were contests, from Oregon
and Kentucky. Urey Woodson
and Gen. W. It. Haldeman were
the contestants for Kentucky’s
seat and Will K King and II. M.
Easterly for Oregon's. Both con-
tests presented novel tangles.
Woodson was chosen by the Ken-
tucky state committee- At last
summer’s state convention Gen.
Haldeman was named national
committeeman. A similar family
quarrel was the Oregon contest.
King was selected by the Oregon
state committee and in last year's
primary election Easterly was
chosen hv the Democratic voters.
Democratic precedent provides
full four year terms for each com-
mitteemen. The national coin-
mitte was presented with the
problem of overthrowing choice
of state committees, according to
established precedent, by recog-
nizing the choice of a party con-
ventions and the rank and file in
a primary contest. Full authori-
ty and discretion was vested in
the committee, to decide the con-
to tests.
Other new members seated to-
day were: Vincent Miles of Little
Rock, Ark., to succeed W. 11. Kav-
Hnaugh. former president of tin*
Southern Baseball League, de-
ceased : .John T. Barnett of Den-
ver, Colo., succeeding Thomas J.
McCue, deceased; W. W. Marsh,
of Waterloo, la-, succeeding Mar-
tin J. Wade, appointed a federal
.judge; Charles E. Johnson of
Waterville, Me-, succeeding E. L.
Jones, resigned; Representative
Cordell Hull of Carthage, Tenn..
succeeding R. L. Mounteastle, de-
ceased ; and Z. R. Cheney of
Juneau, Alaska, succeeding A. J.
Daly, deceased.
The eommitte had to elect a
secretary to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the resignation of Joseph
E. Davis, chairman of the Fed-
eral Trade Commission. Thomas
J. Pence was slated.
A spectacular feature of the
meeting was the suffrage battle
staged by delegations of pros and
antis. Hearings were granted
prominent representatives of both
factions- Declaration in the 1916
platform on equal suffrage was
advocated and opposed.

Why You should Use Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy.
Because it has an established
reputation won by its good works-
Because it is most esteemed by
those who have used it for many
years, as occasion required, and
are best acquainted with its good
qualities-
Because it loosens and relieves
a cold and aids nature in res-
toring the system to a healthy
condition-
Because it does not contain
opium or any other narcotic.
Because it is within the reach
of all. It only costs a quarter.
Obtainable everywhere.
