LAND OFFICE At the. close of the last political ampuign, resulting in the election el' Woodrow Wilson to the prseiden y, there seemed to be a spontane ous sentiment la Alliance in favor of my appointment to one of the three federal offices at this place. While many favored my appointment as j postmaster, 1 believed that if I re ceived an appointment it ought to be , lis- register of the United States land offirj-JVJ jAlliaiKje. k I spent much llinc and sonic mon ey before election working for the -access of the democratic candidal" . but have not had much time to spare from inyother work since elec tion to devote to my own candiducy; and did not think it ne-cssary to publish anything In regard to it un til I learned that some of my friends had been led to believe that I was not a candidate lor appointment, or that 1 was a candidate fur some oth er position and thus their endorse ment secured for another candidate. I cannot here enumerate my ela-nis for the appointment, but will say that if I had not been in hearty sym pathy with the nomination and eiec tlon of Woodrow Wilson, 1 would not now be a candidate for appointment under his administration.- As to my polities, 1 am a progressive demo crat; but as every candidate for ap pointment under tbe incoming admin 11 ration claims to be "progressive", I will say that I ;un known in Alli ance as a "Hi-yan democrat" or "Hryanite '. 1 shall appreciate any assistance that friends of progressive demo ra cy may give me in trying to secure the appointment as register of the fa. S. land office at Alliance. I shall be pleased to hear from read ers of this article who endorsi my candidacy. JOHN' W. THOMAS. Editor "Alliance Herald FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Subjects, Sunday.

SHOULD HAVE DRAMATIC CLUB The comedy druma "We Are King" was presented, under the man agement ttt Mr. Frank Dow Hug, by local talent to a large and apprec i axlve audience at the Phnlan opera house Tuesday night. Mr. Dowliog in the dual part of thai King t Kahnburg and Uustave Venner gave an interpretation that could not we'll be unproved upon. Mr. Dowllng has an exeeHent presence, good voice and was especially good in the com edy parte. His changes of costume were made with wonderful eelerift He made an excellent impression in the first at and created much amusement and laughter and k ,t the nudleuce iu good humor all through u. evening. Harry Hetebenner, as tBh Xbhn acted hie part most admirably ami did not look like a "Relic of Anti quity" at any time. He spoke iu a clear voice, his enunciation was very good and proved himself the right man. n the rglit place. Michael Nolan as the Ha ran sus tained his reputation made in pre viotis appearances and acted the Jealous husJiand most admirably. Hla scene with th? Haroness and the King in the first at ' wV exception ally good. Cecil Suiiili. un the Captain was "mow military iid thoroughly tcieu tiric''. lit has a very good voice and his every word waa distinct. J. W.

Her cos tumes were deinty and very pretty and she deserved and received much praise for the manner in which she interpreted htr part. Miss KUie Hetebenner, as the Hiironcss. h;id :he mosr exiting part, pnos&iy, of the entire play and handled n a niaiiiK r . ha! aaia -.ed the entire audience. She was par ticularly atronc in the emotional parts, and la the scene with the Ra vt n iu the st ond u( t portrayed the jealous resentful woman in a manner 1'iat vva Mirtllmg.

She gives much expression to her music and uses excellent judgement iu the set action or her pieces. MY. J. W. Guthrie appeared to good advantage 111 a Ills- ol( between ! lie second and third acts and re eived much applause We suggest that the young people of Alliance should organise a dram atic society and produce good plays occasionally of this or similar na tures to their owu advantage and the pleasure and enjoyment ot their friends.
