COMING AMUSEMENTS
At the Oliver
A theatrical event which should
arouse much Interest among all classes
of theatre goers In this city. Is the
presentation of "Janice Meredith," by
Mary Mannerlng. who is announced for
appearance here on next Tuesday eve
ning, December 17.
Miss Mannerlng is one of the best
actresses on the American stage. This
lady, who Is recognized as the most
beautiful, as well as one of the most
talented on the American stage, has
been for many years past leading lady
for Daniel Frohman's Stock Company.
"What "Shore Acres," "The Old
Homestead," and "York State Folks."
are to the east, so Is "Jess of the Bar
Z Ranch" to the great far west.
This admirable comedy-drama which
comes to the Oliver next Wednesday
evening, depicts life on one of the
many vast cattle ranches of New
Mexico. The reproduction of the cow
boy and his life on the cattle range,
the tender love of the American, and
the passionate ardor of the Mexican
half-breed for the heroine, Jessie May
field, and the final retribution, are sit
uations that mark a swiftly moving
plot.
The most popular style of musical
farce now in vogue Is undeniably that
of 'he German dialectician. The first
and In all likllhood. the only attrac
tion of this type to be seen In this city
will be Mason and Mason, who will
present "Budolph and Adolph" at the
Oliver next Thursday night.
The supporting company Includes
Lottie Will'ams Salter.
WALT L. DAWSON.
In the Fieldjof Local Politics
If there Is one man In Lancaster
county who knows the ways and wiles
of the politician it is Walter L. Daw
son, who, for six terms, has occupied
the position of secretary of the republi
can county central committee. Aside
from this he served two years as a
member of the city central committee.
As secretary, upon Mr. Dawson's
shoulders have fallen much of the real
work of the campaign. A chairman Is.
In many Instances, largely ornamental.
He must be a practical politician and
an originator of effective campaign
methods, otherwise his usefulness is
greatly curtailed. The great secret of
success in political campaigns Is or
ganization. Without organization, a
campaign is haphazard and without ef
fectiveness. Organization consists in
getting one or more men In every vot
ing place thoroughly Interested in the
success of the party and in keeping
him at work from beginning until the
end. It Includes not only keeping in
touch with the voters of his election
district so that he may know what ar
guments will reach the recalcitrant, bu
in seeing that the voters of his part
get out and register their convictions
at the polls.
Much of this work has fallen upon
Mr. Dawson's shoulders and his ability
and fidelity are best attested by the ex
cellent results which have followed .il
most every campaign in the count
in recent years.
Mr. Dawson is a modest man and not
inclined to talk about his achievements
He was born in Lafayette, Ind.. on
March 20, 1S65. When eight years of
age he removed, with his parents, to
Fairbury. Neb. He resided there until
1S77. when his father, who had been ap
pointed warden of the state peniten
tiary, came to Lincoln. Mr. Dawsim
Sr.. served four years. The family f
forwards removed to Bennett. Four
years later Mr. Dawson became a rest
dent of Lincoln, and has remained hn.
ever since. For the past two years he
has served efficiently as deputy rount
clerk and has been reappointed.
