Presidential campaigns are shorter now
than they used to be. The campaign of
1910 began in January, The change to
shorter campaigns is due in a large meas

the place of other agencies. The voter
finds all the great speeches of the leading
orators in his newspaper where he can
read them at his leisure. He is thus not
dependent on the stump for his political
