WHY THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD
WIN IN NEW MIGNICO.

Men really Interested in the dcyel
upmcnt OF New Mexico look with ap
prehension on the possible return o
the republican party to complete con
trol In this state During republican
Gays, a system Of bossism not in har,
mony with good government was de.
vcloped in large number Of tn,
counties Of the territory. Gregoy
Page retained that sort Of control m
Mckinley county after most Of the
other counties had gained reasonable
freedom. He Is trying to still retain
his control by methods Of the rank
est sort In fact, Tammany hall ncv-
cr tried anything so rank as Page
is trying to pun OFF now.
Page is the county chairman and
owns the members Of the county con-
tral committee. lie called that COM
mittco together, named all of the
judges Of the primaries to be held on
the fifteenth, dictated a resolution un-
der which no ballot can be cast that
hasn't tho American fling as the om-
blom, and then, for the Gallup pre-
clncts. his committee designated tho
names to go on the ballots for dele
gates TO the republican county con-
vention. Il would have boon simpler
and tho same end would have been
accomplished II the committee had
named hy resolution tho delegates to
the state convention
70 pat the American flag az the
emblem over such mscallv political
methods is an insult to old Glory
To spring such u scheme in a free
country Is an insult to the manhood
Of that country, that real men wulI
not permit
Should the Page scheme ga through
and the republican state convention
recognize any part of dclcgalion so |
selected, naturally the democrats !
would use ~ as an Illustration Of
what the people Of the state might !
expect In case the republicans gain .
control of New Mexico again.
'H'H Hlflu"uh are the worst pos

and If they should win their victory
would he merely temporary. aud the
names of the men thus winning would
be consigned TO political oblivion
soon.

men who Vic with each other in try

development of the film play from the
cheap and ordinary to the classic was as
inevitable as the cycle Of the days and

clusion that when stage classics, such as
for instance, Carmen with Geraldine

able for millions to view where only
hundreds had been able to see them in
previous years, the people were going to

The lists of our best screen artists are
just beginning TO come in. The lists of the
greatest photoplays are not yet all in. but
here are opinions on both these matters: !:
To the PhotopidU Editor:
Having delayed sending my choice as to
the best photopays, I am now sending
these along with the list of those whom l
consider the best actors and actresses on
the screen.
six best photoplays (n order):
Ne Never Knew (yitagraph).
NY oricial wiz" tES9l,apraph>.
The "The C2RTStG cRHistinn. |rrIaGsIs1 FviTssPsDh,
His Picture in the Papers" (Triangle).
Six best actors (not in order)
Henry B WalthalI (Essanay).
Harry n Aorcy (Yitagraphj.
Theodore Roberts Uaskyj.
Bryant Washburn Gsssanayj
James Morrison tVitagraph)
Six best actresses:
Clara X. Young (world Film).
Norma Talmags CTriangiel
bnita stewart (yitagraphl. ,,
Viola Dana Metro).
The last two lists were formed with
close consideration of the rule that no real
stage actors--I mean by that, those who
have not deserted the legitimate for good
be included. In so doing was forced
to exclude Frank Keenan,, Fairbanks, Ty-
rome Power. Edeson, Florence Reed and a
few others who do not rely on their repu-
tatlons alone when they act before the
camera ARTHUR b. WALTERS.
West Philadelphia. April II. 1915.
To the PhotopI1Y Editor:
Sir-As devoted student OF the photo.
drama II gives me pleasure to give the list
OF the actresses who | think are the best.
First Norma Talmage, VINO is versa
tile and whose portrayal of emotion is
very natural and lifellie
Second. Pearl White, for her daring
exploits and distinctive personality.
Third Anita Stewart, because Of her
beauty and childlilSe simplicity.
Fourth. Mabel Normand as she is the
queen Of the female comedians.
Fifth and sixth. May be any two OF a
score or more or others.
Norma Talmage Pearl White, Anita
Stewart and Mabel Normand in my opin-
ion lead their particular line OF artistic
endeavors
As to the actors, the crowning honors
60 to the Pathe-especally TO Balboa.
They have the most OF the best actors OF
their several kind of characteristics for
their distinct parts.
Hoping that this list may be OF service
to you, l am, j. c. METZEL, JR,
