DIAMOND, Advertising Manager REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Tuesday, June 12, is the day Republicans will meet at Kansas City to nominate someone for president of the United States. But who will that someone be! According to race track dope, Herbert Hoover has the His friends have spent thouspole and leads by many lengths. ands of dollars in publicity, and Hoover has nearly enough delegates to go over on the first ballot. Should he not be able to win on the first ballot he may not fin at all and some long shot not yet mentioned may secure -- the field of blue and thirteen stars were first kissed by Pennsylvania sunlight. I was the first to reach the top of your tower on Independence Hall; I was the first to point out from whence came the music of your Liberty bell ; I led the vanguard of the continental Army from Valley Forge to Yorktown; I festooned the capitols of every State until, instead of 13, I displayed eight and forty stars ; I first blushed in protest against slavery in my native Keystone State; the lilies of France once floating over Fort Duquesne were lowered to the lion of St. George floating over Fort Pitt, but both gave way to me when the .wind from the free Alleghenies unfurled my colors above the waters of the Ohio, at the town of Pittsburg ; I led your conquering armies from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico ; from New York to the Rhine, I was trailed in the dust, but rose again to feel the loyal jgrasp of Lincoln and Grant, Wilson and Pershing, and to give inspiration to the millions of men and women who loved the country and the cause for which I stood, and Today I float in peace and in glory over every capitol in this broad land, and I stand for liberty, for the noblest ambitions of humanity, and for peace throughout the world and for the dignity and honor and protection of all who love liberty and equality, and who claim the sheltering protection which I have always given. Tis the banner ; 0 long may it wave 0 er the land of the free, and the home of the brave ! star-spangl- ed - FAMOUS STOCK COMPANY This city is blessed with a super theatrical stock company second to none in the country. It is the Wilkes company of which C. W. Clogston has been manager for several years and under whose direction the company is considered one of the very best . crats this year. But how about such men as Hughes, Longworth, Borah, Dawes, Watson, and a host of others, who are all big men and fho have the confidence of the people! Former Governor Lowden of Illinois has a chance, but it argued that if Hoover is defeated, Lowden would follow the same fate. There appears to be a fight against both of these men in some sections of the country, and the wiseacres argue tot the Republican party will never nominate a man that has any fight against him in any part of the country. When Harding was nominated, many people had never heard of him. Wood and Lowden solicited the entire country for delegates and spent vast sums of money. Harding was not even mentioned and had not spent a dime to secure the nomination, vet he came out victor at the convention. There is one thing certain, the Republicans will never nominate a man against whom there is the slightest fight against in any part of the country. President Coolidge is the favorite of the people, but if he still declines to run, even if drafted, the Party will name the right man at this time. While the Republican candidate to be nominated is in great loubt, all appear to be agreed that A1 Smith will be the Democratic victor at Houston. He appears to have very little opposition and so far no one has made a nation-wid- e fight to is , felt him. - FLAG DAY Congress adopted Stars and Stripes as the flag of our Nation. Ever since it has been an emblem of Liberty all the World, the most beautiful and cherished of all our National possessions. As one writer has said if our flag waving in breeze could find expression, it might say to the world, I fel my birth in Philadelphia; my stripes of red and white and IUNE 14, 1777, , Theatrical men from all parts of the country are loud in their praise much coveted plum. Many believe that Coolidge will be drafted and forced to ran, claiming that he is the only man who can defeat the Demo- l 3 of the local organization, and they say there is none better in New York City. Therefore, the people of this city ought to be proud to have such a company that can furnish them with the best plays written. The theatre has closed for the summer season and will open again the last week in August. The play-ers are taking their vacations and will go to all parts of the country. Manager Clogston will leave Monday for New York where he will make arrangements for some of the best plays written and also to bring back one or two stars. Clogston says that Gladys George and Ben Erway will be back when the season opens for the leads in all the plays and a majority of the others of the company will also be back. Clogston states he will give the people of this city the best and highest class stock company shows they have ever seen here, and he is neither saving money nor time to assemble a company of stars that will be the means of advertising Utah as a w . great theatrical state. Manager Clogston wishes to thank the public for its generous support of the Wilkes shows during the past year, and he expects to give them even better shows the coming year. UNOCCUPIED REAL ESTATE MANY NEW and beautiful homes are going up in Salt Lake, especially in the southeastern and northeastern part of the city. On the other hand, a great many good homes are being deserted in the heart of the city. The majority' of these are |
