There is a most potent reasonwhy;
our old friends Bert Leigh and Hazel.
Burgess, are so successful m their
, x , ' . , . ... ... !
latest musical comedy hit. Aside ,
from being clever and gifted with the
art of entertaining, The ,G to ho
oiuiifs, ii eta a. sung, x eoiuu m iu
Smile," that appeals to the voiceless 1
because it is distinctly hummable; to 1
the singers, because it can be sung,
and to those who can neither sing '
nor hum, because they are just sure
they have heard it before and the
melody haunts them. And so they
have heard it, though not in this par
ticular arrangement. And in this
score there are at least four other
numbers of equal attractiveness.
And 'so the real smile in "The Girl
Who Smiles," however, is the music,
for it is one of those sweetly simple

TO BtCKETT
Features of His Remarkable
Campaign A Look Back
on Former Elections
Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 14. The finest
feature of the Bickett campaign was
its indifference to his own interests

and as a result President Wilson
.
ly eloquent championship of him gave
him. Bickett started out with the
postulate that Wilson's administration
was the unmatched miracle of mod
ern legislation. For weeks not the
slightest reference to the fact that he
was running for governor was made
by Mr. Bickett. For days he did not
even refer to the state issues. He
presented Wilson and him justified.-
He was challenged once or twice to
defend the state administration and
did that notably in Smithfield, Taylors
ville and a few other places, but in
variably swung back to Wilson, whose
achievements he regarded the best
campaign speeches for democracy. He
and its ill-fortunate ending as a warn
ing against too much nationalism, but
the more they asked him to talk Bick-
w thG more he didn't dn it
When
he in Graham, Bull Moose men
said tnat if the National Committee
would send him to Ohio, Kansas or
Nebraska he would bring rich returns
upon his National issues and he talk
ed on. '
Mr. Linney did almost exactly the
opposite. The Republican would not
minify the National record -and advis
ed others not to do it but he chose
state talk. And while Bickett was
moving the industrial centers and the
'"cultural strongholds to the study 1

Republican groaned and crooned amen
to this Democratic attack upon the j
of internal improvements.
The strange result is that Bickett's
positive work .for Wilson did show in

the results which to date have given
Wilson nearly 1,300 lead over 'him,
while Mr. Linney's almost exclusive
discussion of state issues had the ef
fect of creating, a greater diproportionsl
between himself nd the Republican
candidate for President. It is doubt -
ful whether two more popular state
candidates than Bickett and Linney
ever ran. Republicans say Linney is
a poor politician and inferential 'that
he is one of the finest men alive. He
is an able campaigner and of lovable
disposition. He ought to be one of
the greatest mixers in the state. Yet,

If Bickett poiis 155,000 Democratic
votes, he would have had about 157,

come into his election with a defi
nite promise to fix these absentee
citizens into permanent citizenship.
Before his nomination he declared
that if elrcied . he t would r, draft a bill S
giving to such citizens as must be
away from home on election day an J
opportunity to vote. He has not an-.
