Republican For 20 Years
 But Will Vote For Wilson

''Tell President Wilson for mel said Edmund K. Keeser, of Johns- town, Pa., in a letter to a friend in Washington. "that I have voted the Republican, ticket for 20 years. but that he gets my vote this time, and all the Germans in Johnstown are going to vote for him. He is without a question a grand man, true blue and a real American. Without Wilson in office today, we would all be carrying a gun"

 There seems to be no reason for thinking that the American people will turn from Woodrow Wilson, for whom they entertain profound res pect, and to whom they feel them selves obligated for his safe and sane lpolicy which has preserved the coun- try from war, and replace him as President with Charles B. Hughes. It Is impossible to divine cause for such a course. No claim can be es- tablished by the adherents of Hughes upon the highest ofhce within the gift

BEST THEATRE.

Today-Panline Frederick has Just
completed her first twin sister" role
in the Famous Players production,
"Ashes of the Embers.' 1t is perhaps
the most difficult role that Miss Fred
erick has played on the screen be-
cause she must indicate the totally
different characteristics of these two
women. without employing so much
make-up as to spoil the probability Of
their being mistaken for eah other.
One of the sisters, Laura, is abso-
lutely without conscience. Agnes, the
peace-loving sister, is drudge who
gives large portion OF her earnings
to gilded Laura. The numerous oc-
,casions on which the sisters meet on
the screen have afforded the star and
director excellent opportunities for
working out effective scenes.
The story is dramatic one. re-
counting the tragic tale of vaulting
ambition and the dire ruin which fol-
lows in it's wake.
Mutual weekly with all the latest
world news will also be shown.
