THE IDEAL CAMPAIGN SPEECH.
W. W. Foote Thinks 1t Should Be Short.
Sharp and Decisive.

w
Sharp and Decisive.
My idea is that "the ideal campaign
speech" ought to be made On the same lines
which govern military contests.
1t ought to be short sharp and decisive.
Too much detail, reading figures, however
convincing they may be. worries an audi
eBee and produces very little lasting effect.
In these modern days, however. the cam
paign speech is not for the audience. but for
thuse who read it.
My own idea is that the old-fashioned
way of i0int debate is probably the best.
This Is the only way in which campaign
orator can personally reach those Of the OPP
posite political faith. An opposite story is
very effective In campaign oratery, provided
tits new aud illustrates the point you de-
sire to make.
The prevalent habit among campaign ora
tors of abusing every member Of the oppo-
site political party, and being able to see no
good either in the principles or men OF the
other side in my Judgment does more harm
than good.
The trouble Is that reading men do not
attend political meetings, but rely more
upon the newspapers and campaign do,u-
ments for political information than ever
before. In other words the day of cam
paign orators, as 1t existed in the times of
Marshall, Corwin and Henry A. Wise and
other campaign speakers, has about passed
away.
About the only good effect Of political
meetings is TO keep up party organization
and enthusiasm.
We are running more to t0rch-lght pro-
ceSslons and fireworks as means of political
instruction than ever before. These may
create aud keep up enthusiasm; they are
certainly not instructive. w. w. FooTE.
