Pastor by Jo*. M. Thompson, New
Roman’s Vote Factor That
Puzzles 1 bird. District Chiefs
In algebra, the unknown quantity
is X. |
In the present, political campaign
the politicians and organizations are |
confronted with an "X” that will not
be solved, and this "X” because of
the fact that the organizations do
not kzow how they stand, will not
allow even the oldest followers of
the political game to come to any
satisfactory conclusion. It Is this
“X’’ that is keeping the “pep" of the
usual political campaigns from as
serting itself, and the old intere3t
is lacking.
The “X" that is causing the worry
of the political leaders is the wo
men’s vote. No matter how much
figuring is done, no matter how
much guessing takes place, Jt ts im
possible to tell how it will develop.
If some idea could be gained as to
how the women will vote, if they
do vote, interest would be added to
the coming campaign like throwing
oii on a fire, but no estimate can be
made.
Political leaders of both parties
admit that no estimate of the women
vote is possible. All records of the
past are void, as far as the strength
of wards, districts, or counties are
concerned and old politicians seem
to be confused as to which way to
turn when the women’s vote is con
sidered. In every political confer
ence that is held today the strength
of the women vote is being consid
ered.
In some counties it is thought
that the women vote will be heavy,
while in others it will be light, but
there are no past figures on which
to base these thoughts and it is final
ly decided that it is like groping in
the dark to determine or try to de
termine how the vote will trun it.
Will the vote be heavier in Ocean
and Monmouth counties than in
Middlesex, is the question confront
ing the leaders of both parties in
the third congressional district.
..sea
Will the votes be more in the small
town, according to tfie percentage
of population than the cities.*
The answer to this question Seems to
be yes. The reason for this is: tn
the small towns and the rural dis
tricts registering is done by a house
to house canvass of the poll clerics,
while in the cities the women have
to take time to go to the register
ing place in order to be able to vote.
It is claimed that women who regis
ter when the clerk calls ju the
kitchen door, will outnumber those
who have to leave their work and
walk to the registration place.
Although at the time the women
register they may not intend to vote
and many who live in the city do not
intend to vote, will not take the
trouble to register, while their coun
fry or small town sister will have
registered and as the campaign
waxes warm will decide to vote,
while those In the city who did not
register will And themselves locked
out on election day. Therefore one
of the questions is how to impress
on the city women the necessity of
registering on registration day.
As near as can be estimated at the
present time by those who have
considered the subject of women
vote, it is conceded that the majority l
of the women who can be depended
upon to vote will be those between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty,
those over this age, it Is thought,
will be few and far between. Also
it ie figured that the greatest
number of votes will be cast by wo- .
men who are earning their own liv- |
ing in offices, factories or stores. It j
is believed that the average women ,
who live at home will not bother
much with political matters.
However, when all is said add
done, and when the leaders of the
political organisations have consid
ered and re-considered the matter,
the women's vote stilt remains a big
‘‘X”—the unknown quantity.

THEATRES
Chance To See “BuddU'C
When the'Selwyns give this city
an opportunity to sfe “Buddies"
next Tuesday night at the Majestic
it will he after twelve consecutive
months in New York where It scored
all last season the most sensational
hit of the year at the Selwyn Theatre.
The scenes of this fragrant spring
time comedy with music by George
V. Hobart and B. C. Hilliam are laid
in far-away Brittany where a com
pany of American soldiers are billet
ed in Madam Benoit's cottage. Here
“Babe.” a bashful “buddy,” falls in
love with Julie, the eldest daughter
of the house, and "Sonny," as
gallant an American private as ever
wore uniform, comes to the as
sistance of his tongue-tied pal at
the risk of his own happiness with
"Little Miss Brooklyn, of U. 8. A.”
Tn addition to the double love-in
tbrest supplied In Mr. Hobart’s
comedy Mr. Hilliam has furnished
quantitie3 of lovely melodies which
all last winter kept New York whist
ling, and the Selwyns are offering
here for the interpretation of both
romance and music a specially se
lected company of metropolitan
players, among whom are Jean
Moore, James Marshall, Maurice
Clarke, Louis LeBey, Shirley Love,
Hedley Hall, Edward Menlove, G. L.
Whitcomb, Harry Stanley, Charles
Hassong, S. Edward Ortega, Joseph
H. Baird, Ann Boos and Louise
Clark.
Dltmas Theatre.
A novel like “The Paliser Case”
doesn’t remain unscreened for any
length of time. And as soon as it
was published, the Goldwyn company
succeeded in acquiring the screen
rights to this dramatic and powerful
melodrama. It is now ready for
presentation at the Dltmas Theatre,
with Pauline Frederick in the role of
a'i impoverished singer who marries
an old roue, Monty Paliser, to secure
medical aid and physical comfort for
her invalid father. The adaptation
v, as made by Edfrid A. Bingham, and
William Parke directed the produc
tion.
“The Paliser Case” is frankly a
melodrama. The actions of the char
acters, as they reveal the thoughts
and emotions by which they steer
their way through life, are brought
to the screen in all their prettiness, i
their cruelty or their generosity.
Good battles with evil and is tem
porarily defeated; but as so often
occurs in real life, eventually tri
umphs. The heroine weighs carefully
the joys and the sorrows that life
holds in store for her; she is torn
between the chance of marrying a
wealthy rotter and seeing her invalid
father well cared for and the torment
c: remaining single and Impoverished,
wijile the man she really loves be
comes the husband of another. Most
girls would choose as Cassy (Pauline
Frederick) did, and marry the rich
roue. But not many would act as
she did when she discovered that her
marriage was a fraud and that she
had been tricked by a fake wedding
into living with a man whom she
detested.
Burlesque For Majestic.
A splendid lot ot fun, singing and
dancing, and an unusually elaborate
production is promised in Arthur
Pearson’s ’’Step Lively Girls,” which
comes to the Majestic Monday. Mr.
Pearson has established a sterling
reputation for delivering the goods
which he promises and there is every
assurance ’that his now famous
burlesque is as the advance notices
assert, "more than up-to-date.”
An especial proof of this is his
engagement of Don Barclay as the
comedian this season. Barclay was
formerly the featured funmaker of
Ziegfeld Follies. He then went to
London and for sixty weeks headed
the casts in the various revues of
Albert de Courville at the Hippo
drome. He has been brought back
to American burlesque by Mr. Pear
son at a very large salary. Others
in the cast are: Patti Moore, Louise
Carlyle, Raymond Paine,' Gene
'•Rags" Morgan. Wilson-Andrey Trio,
Edna Greene, and Jack Mundy.

— Orescent Attraction.
A monument to the heroism of an
American "scientist of the air’’ is
"The Skywayman," Lt. Ormer Lock- j
[ear's greatest picture, which is to be i
presented by William Fox at the
Crescent Theatre on Monday for a
run of three days. Ten per cent of
all th* profits from the exhibition of
this picture throughout the country
is to be given to the families of
Locklear and his pilot, Lt. Milton
Elliott, by Fox Film Corporation.
“The Skywayman” is said to prove
what Locklear always held—namely
'that his daring exploits above the
clouds were not performed in bra
vado, but for the good of mankind.
When he stepped from one plane tc
another thousands of feet above the
earth it was to show that it could be
done in emergency. Until he did it
nobody believed the balance and sla- .
bility of an airplane could- be main
tained -while a man stood out on the
wings.
He performs this feat and others
just as startling in "The Skyway
man," which is a romantic drama of
love and adventure. It is the story
of a young American pilot, Who, with
his memory gone after crashing to
earth in France, returns to America
and finds himself injected into ad
ventures as thrilling as any he had in
France.
No other airman, even among the
great war aces, ever captured the
world’s admiration as Locklear did.
