PRIMARY ELECTION PROBLEMS

DIIE eagerncss of alleged advocates of state. wide primary lcgla.
l ton 10 get out from under when such legislation came up for
. passage in tlc state last week, was lauphHblc. Yet the senatorial
incident was valuable because it showed concuivoly that republican
and democratic members alike are opposed 10 putting The statewide
direct primary into effect in New Mexico. II is reasonable To sup
pose that these members reflect the desires of their constituents
II has been pointed out by members of the legislature who have
made a very earnest and conscientious study of the problem that both
the republican and democratic platforms pledged primary legislation
that is impossible Of fulflmcnt. They went far enough beyond the
county primary to promise election of delegates to district and state
conventions by primary ballot. These men have sought every avenue
aud have ran down every trail that would permit this dual pledge 10
bc carried ont, without producing endless confusion IN elections.
I'll" urnportionatc representation Of u rouuty To Il state convention
would produce u primary ballot several yards in length with hun
druds Of names upon il. Intelligent selection from those names by
the voter, or intelligent initiation of "audidarics for delegates to
state conventions BY petition would be q mechanic al unpOsSbiity. II
there are over 200 in the state, would max" conventions of impossible
numbers.
Thus the legislature is reduced 10 q choice between the state
wide primary and the county primary, rs proposed in senate bill No.
ZIG, which was tabled last week
The county primary would be a considerable improvement over
our present election machinery. Delegates TO a county convention.
chosen in a primary, might be more responsive TO the public will in
choosing delegates to state conventions. than has been the ease under
the existing system. That would remain TO be determined by prac-
tical trial.
a comprehensive estimate of public sentiment ON the statewide dt
rect primary. The result ronyinccS MS that the overwhelming ma.
iority of the people do not want it,
II is clear that the members of the Legislature, Of both parties,
with tw or three exceptions, do not want th cdrcct primary, and
the m"mbcrs are perfectly sure that they reflect the opinions Of their
constituents
|" there is to be any election legislation by this session it should
bee along the line oi the bill known rs senate bill No. ZIG. To attempt
primary election of district and state conventions means endless con.
fusion. The statewide primary is impossible.

THE r PLEDGE

one Of the kccncst observers of public affairs in New Mexico made
the following statement to a Herald reported in Santa Fc last
" week:
"The most hopeful sign of the period, politically, is the anxiety
Of party representatives in and ont of the legislature, to fulfill the
letter and spirit of campaign pledges. am convinced that members
of the present legislature have made % most earnest effort to fulfill
every party pledge. This means but one thing; a keener apprccia-
ton Of the responsibility of political parties in a government Of par
ties; and that, tn my mind, is the most certain evidence Of political
progress
The statement as to the effort TO fulfil party pledges is exactly
in line with the facts IS regards the present New Mexico legislature.
Members of both parties have kept party promises before them at all
times. There has been an earnest effort 20 carry them out.
The summary Of accomplishments Of this legislature, when it
shall have completed its work this week, will show that party prom.
iss have been kept in letter and spirit.

scenario for "The -Four Horsemen Of
the Apocalypse" is a good example
OF one who lives up, no doubt un-
consciously, to the text book maxim:
"A scenario writer should do every
part of his work as thoroughly as II
he expected no aid or alteration from
any source
Miss Lytton reports: Grouping is
the directors affair, and IL your luck
is to have q perfect director he will
correct any mistake you make. But
you cannot afford to take chances, for
he may happen to be less than per-
feet And IL your heart is in 1t you
will not be content with anything
short or perfection. The great
point is TO keep your attention steadily
fixed upon your story until 1t be-
comes to you, for the time being, the
most important thing in the world
1t is essential while your story
is in progress that you should work on
it every day, and if possible at the
same time every day. A good
scenario may be written in six weeks;
with practice and skill in half the
time. Now suppose that from three
to six weeks work and not the hard
est work, but pleasant, delightful eff
fort, you receive from $500 to $4,000
Is not this very well worth while?"
Undoubtedly. But suppose you do
the six weeks work and fail to con-
meet with the $4,000 Well, that may
teach lessons not to be learned from
any text book.
There are other things to be done
besides the work of composition. Miss
Mathis read The Four Horsemen"
three times. Then, after weeks of
planning, she began to write. When
the script was done. the assembling of
a cast, the designing Of sets and the
choosing of locations took another
period before the camera men turned
their initial crank. 1t required six
months working night and day, to
shoot the picture. All this time Miss
Mathiss energy was involved, and l,
myself, sat with her on various hot
early mornings, continuing with little
interruption the work of the night
before.
OF course. a beginner has no such
task. But If one is taking this up as
serious profession. not play, all
these labors are to be foreseen. He
should understand that after ones
scenario is submitted the work is just
begun. Miss Mathis sat behind the
tripod alongside of Mr.. Ingram every
single minute that footage was being
screened of "The -Four Horsemen of
The Apocalypse" There are eleven
reels of it, and she watched all of
those ''rushes" after every days work
in the projection room. In her CLOS
sary Of movie terms, Miss Lytton didn't
mention this momentous one.

and his position is recognized and re-

now that we've settled that, how many
copies of The Century Plant, that
new illustrated poem by p. Shelley, do
we want?"
"Manhandle contemporary authors

says Mr.. Bucket, plainly vexed, but
remember, Mr.. Flick I'll not tolerate
abuse of man like Shelley. The poem
you have reference to, sir, is The Sem

many years. it isn't a new one. It's

Mr.. Bucket, 'I'd like to remind you to

The volume abounds, too. in minor
inaccuracies. II is edifying to read
that Lope de Vega embarked as n
sailor ON one Of the Ealleys Of the
Invincible Armada in 1888. Surely the
author pulls a long oar. We had as
sumed that no EnGlishwoman had

Francis Drake against the Spanish
galleons Or perhaps the implication
is that Iope was a ships cook.
The design of the volume is 10 pre-

they have been infinitely better done
