HOW THEY WILL BE DISTRIBUTED

Washington, Aug. 25.-At a conference
today between Senator Faulkner, chair
man of the congressional campaign COM
mittee, Congressman James d. Richard
son of Tennessee and Mr.. Clark Howell
of the Atlanta Constitution the lit
erary bureau of the democratic national
campaign was installed and the work
formally inaugurated. Mr.. Howell and
Mr.. Richardson were appointed last
week by Chairman Jones of the national
democratic committee to conduct the
work, Mr.. Howell as chief of the bureau
and Congressman Richardson as assist
ant, 1t being impossible for Mr.. How
ell to spend this month in Washington
on account of the campaign In Georgia
Congressman Richardson has consented
to remain until Mr.. Howell can come.
Senator Faulkner organized the con-
gressional campaign committee thor
oughly some weeks ago, and has had
full corps of assistants busily engaged
in distributing campaign literature. AT
today's conference 1t was agreed to con-
solidate, as far as practicable, the work
of the literary bureau with that OF the
congressional campaign committee, and
the corps of mailing clerks Will from TINS
time on be pushed with the utmost
speed in Supplying the Overwhelming
demand for literature.
In speaking of todays conference MI
Howell said tonight: THE work Is thor
oughly organized and this department
will do its utmost to meet every reason
able demand for campaign literature.
Thousands of applications are being re-
ceived every day, and the demand is not
ably heavy from the eastern and middle
western states. Senator Faulkner de-
serves great credit for the admirable
manner in which he has organized the
work of the congressional campaign
committee, and 1t has enabled US 10 pro-
cecd at once with our work without the
installation of a new force. 1t is I'M
portant that chairmen of state commit
tees and that democratic leagues and
other organizations wishing literature
should communicate with us at once, IN
dicating the character of the literature
desired We are prepared to supply
campaign material with special re1er-
enC.e to the currency question, TO the
bond issues, the income tax and other
matters of like character. Communlca-
tions should be addressed either to the
Conversational campaign committee or to
the literary bureau of the democratic
Headquarters at the Wormley motel
building. Congressman Richardson VIII
for the present attend TO any communi-
cation that may be addressed to him at
the literary bureau and nothing Will be
left undone to supply such literature as
may be desired. OF course the commit
tee is not overburdened with campaign
funds, and for this reason 1t Will con-
centraJte it's attention, as far as possible,
in the doubtful states. individuals wish
ing literature should communicate Win
the committee tut it is preferable that
such requests be made through demo-
cratic committees or other party orgaIu-
zations"
