All the Progressives of this part

London, asking her for advice on how
to get the suffrage vote. They wired
Miss Inez Milholland at the Wander
bilt hotel in New York for helpful
suggestions
Pending replies to these messages,
the Universal City suffragettes have
taken things into their own hands and
acted where action was necessary.
Lois Weber, suffrage candidate for
mayor, has threatened to give Phillips
Smalley. her husband and leading man
in an important picture in which they
are playing unless he will agree to
vote the women's ticket.
All of the residents of this suffrage
torn municipality, including the tribe
of Indians the regiment of soldiers and
the cowboys. are in the employ of the

many of New York Officials of the
company have determined to let the

The meeting was held at studio No.
Z. and an overwhelming majority of
the four hundred and seventy-one wo-
men voters were present 1t was sort
of Indignation meeting. At least every
woman present was indignant at the
thought that she was to be left out of
city politics.
Lois Weber, the leading woman Of
the Rex company, voiced the sentiment
of the meeting in her maiden suffrage
speech:
I'VE have been patient long enough.
We 1--we in California and have the
right to vote, and We're going to eX-

star of the 101 Bison company, over
heard the announcement of the meet
ing Feminine curiosity prompted an
investigation, even at the risk of los
ing their positions at supper, SO Miss
Fischer and Miss Grandon remained
at discreet distance while the men
fled away, IN groups Of two or three,

Choosing an opportune moment, the
two girls quietly secreted themselves
behind a mass of props" and listened.

Miss Grandon away from the studio at
the conclusion Of the mems meeting.

when they are boiling with political
wrath and party alliances it is policy
for us to sit back and let them fight
their own battles"
At all of the eight studios there are
daily arguments between the candi-
dates Of the three parties. One picture
has been spoiled by the leading lady
of the Nestor company. who forgot her
business and launched forth into
heated suffrage argument with her
leading man while the frantic director
was trying to film ball room scene.
Squaws Grow Militant = Threaten
Braves.
The women are threatening to resort
to methods of sabotage as practiced in
London and Paris by militant politi
Gals. They promise to spoil thousands
of feet of film unless the men will treat
their movement with more dignity and
agree to give them their support.
one squaw with a particularly stub
born spouse who rides bucking bron
chos in some Of the best 101 Bison
company pictures has sworn that she
will put cockleburs under her hus-
bands horse blanket and make his
calico pony buck in deadly earnest in
the next picture if his chiefship doesn't
agree to vote right
The directors of the various cOmpa
MES are all sitting on the fence, afraid
to get down on either side for fear of
stepping on the tender toes of their
temperamental actors and actresses.
They don't dare express an opinion or
espouse any of the three causes for
fear some earnest politician will spoil
a picture.
The men, having visions of being
hailed TO court by a lady police, ex-
amined before a lady judge, having
their pay envelopes taxed by lady
assessor and tapped by lady collec-
tor. are in open revolt. Their chief
argument is that women graft enough
privately from their husbands and that
they shouldn't be allowed 20 get into
the business of public graft.
The mems camp is divided between

fear of getting no meals at all. The
suffra ge question has already pene-
trated to the big kitchen where over
a thousand moving picture people take
dinner and supper together daily.
Men do the cooking II this kitchen, but
women Serve the meats. SO they have
the ruling hand after all Suffrage
sympathizers are getting Big heIpings
nowadays. while many Progressives
and Democrats are going hungry, even
after passing up their plates for a third
and fourth scaaty helping.
An interesting question of natErali-
zation arises because two hundred and
forty- one OF the voters are Indians. AS
yet many cases Of Indian voters are in
question There is also some talk
about the fact thatNhree hundred of
tae Inhabitants are discharged United
States soldiers. and the right of some
Of these men to vote IS being ques-
toned.
There IS a great deal of betting on
the outcome. Groups of actors ard ac-
tresses set into heated arguments be
fore ana after work. one freak bet
has been registered between mother
y suffragette and a cowboy. In the
event that the women's ticket loses the
suffrag ette has agreed to put N two

If the su1ragcttes win however, the
cowboy has agreed 10 Go weeks

Two charges of graft have been

Of the suffrage party 1t is charged
that Democratic candidates several
weeks ago opened negotiations with
officials of a traction company operat-

acceptance Of their bids to build arte-

And with this ultimatum the young Ia
dies set out on visits to the various
cottages. They talked propaganda and
reused the women to action. Many
suppers were served either cold or
burned in Universal City that night.
But the women were awakening.
Women Hold Indignation Meeting.

Indian squaws who cook hominy and
Indian pudding for the $50 braves

movement which has sprung up al
most overnight.
Christened little more than three
months ago, Universal City is now

population of 1916 Every one of the
thousand and more residents is ac-

we have.
Now, the only way for us to win is
for each woman to bring, at least one
vote besides her own. That Will give
us a big majority. Since most OF US
are married and can only properly
bring in one extra vote, we will count
on the old and young maids for three
or four votes apiece

Secret Meeting Reveals Political Plot.
The trouble started at the conclusion
of a recent rehearsal for a big three
reel feature film, in which every ac
tress in Universal City was to appear.
No previous announcement had been
made by the men leaders in the move
ment to incorporate Universal City
that the election of city officials was
contemplated or even that state
charter would be sought. The effect of
a little speech made by Robert Leon
ard of Rex company fame, therefore,
had doubly surprising results

to organize q party following. but the

meeting with a few cat calls and
threats to spoil any films in which the
Socialist members worked unless they

the two parties. They are debating
whether to throw up their hands right
now in the fear that there is going to
be trouble if the women don't have
their way.
Director Breaks UP Democratic Gath
ering.
The sufragettes are still laughing
over the failure of a recent Democratic
mass meeting. Phillips Smalley or
ganized the meeting to get back at
his leading lady Lois Weber, who had
made many political threats against
him. Right in the midst of an eloquent
speech Smalley was pulled off the
stump by the director of his company
and taken in an auto six miles into the
country to appear in q forest scene in
an unfinished picture. His mouth was
still open in final denunciation Of the
womens candidate when he disappear
ed into the tonneau of the big auto,
leaving his audience dumfounded
Selling the opportunity, Margarita
Fischer mounted the vacated stump
and made a rampant, redhot suffrage
speech until her shamefaced audience
dwindled.
