the methods pursued and to point out
FERROUS.
Raleigh as we said above, is con-
servative. In such communities it is
the part of wisdom to be dignified and
sincere in all newspaper announce
ments-to especially avoid those pit
falls of modern NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
boastfulness, bombbastic phrases and
meaningless exaggerations. The tone
OF Raleigh advertising is both dignified
and sincere, but most of the lads are
| too trite-there is little talk about the
goods-there is little or no talk about
the methods of the advertiser; articles
lare named, prices are quoted, the namc
and address of the firm is appended,
and that is about all. More CONVEX
sational chats would, we think, prove
quite interesting to the public and
highly profitable to the advertiser, and
changes of copy should be made dur
ling the week, especially on Satur-
days.
OF course this advice is meant
equally for Raleigh and similar places
where there is not enough demand TO
compensate an "ad' writer OF ability
IN locating.
There are so many publications be-
fore the trade today devoted exclu-
sively to advertising and brlstllng Win
ideas. phrases type effects and prac-
teal assistance of various KINDS that
any merchant progressive enough 10
advertise, can find all the inspiration"
required to give his publicity attractive
appearance and interesting phrase
ology. The advertising department or
the Merchant and Manufacturers
Journal does not seek to perform these
offices for the merchant but rather
to give advice broadly and to point
The way out by which the merchant
advertiser may become proficient.
Some notable exceptions to the gen
eral triteness of the lads" in Raleigh
are in evidence, and we take pleasure
in quoting from them though-and
we must again find fault-the efforts
at neWsiness and logic are not sus-
tanned, but appear rather spasmodic.
The principal lesson to be drawn
from Raleigh's advertising is: Avoid
repetition ana make changes OF copy
frequently
IT is better to print only two ads
week and to have these ads COM
mand general attention by their new
ness and newsineSs than to repeat the
same "ad' from day to day through
out one or more weeks.
If YOU see a billboard painted or
posted. or a new sign being hung, you
invariably stop to ascertain Wat 1t
contains Yet if you pass the same
sign every day from week to week, you
will pay absolutely no attention TO IL.
This applies to newspaper advertising
as well-and ads" to be protapie
must be read.

If the candidates of the Democratic
party are weak. the platform is, if
possible worse. 1t is cowardly, eva
sive, ambiguous. The n nney question
is still living issue, and it's failure TO
mention it together with the wobbling
of Parker and Davis, and the dexterity
and indecision with which they have
managed to side-step every vital issue
assure the Republican party of the
largest plurality in the electoral col
lege in the history of the Republic.
The Democratic party is as much
welded to Free Silver, and Free Trade
as at any other period in it's history
At the present time the Democratic
South is having spasms about the Ne
gro. 1t feels that it is all right to
give the ballot to the communist, or an
archist, who hasn't been in this coun-
try long enough to know on what
street he lives, but all wrong to give it
to the Negro, who has been here nearly
800 years. The leading Democratic
politicians of the South-Tillman, Wat
terson, Senators Morgan, Carmack,
and blackburn, and the rest of the
crew are unequivocally in favor of re-
pealing the XIII, XIV, and XIV Amend
ments. They know this would be a
very hard thing to do, but still they
favor it.
The Negro should vote sOlidly
against Parker and Davis, because the
presumption is that they are with their
party on this question. The Republi-
can party is not only opposed to the re
appeal of the amendments, but in favor
of curtailing the Congressional, and
ELECTORAL representation of every State
that unconstftutionally disfranchises.
The Democratic party offers the Ne
| gro no ray of hope. 1t has always OPP
| opposed to his holding office, exercis-
| ing the rights of suffrage, and enjoy
ing civil rights. 1t was in favor of
his perpetual enslavement, and oppos-
| ed to his acquiring an education,
property, and homes. The strong
/ holds of Judge Lynch are in the heavy
| Democratic centers. Every Democrat
ic Southern State is proud OF it's sepa-
rate car and waiting room laws
In this campaign, the Negro who
loves his country, his race, and the
Constitution, will vote for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks.
