THE PRESS AND ELECTIONS.

II HE Republican campaign mama
gers have decided that while
they viii lay their plans care
fully the campaign proper will not
open tin the middle OF September. The
Democrats show no haste to stir things

been notified, It is well to let the people
revolve the issues and the fitness OF
the respective candidates IN their minds
for month ere the red fire begins 10
burn and the orator 70 unload his elo-
quence.
A short campaign is not only the de-
mand Of the merchants. but Of an peo-
pie who care more for the concerns Of
daily life than Tor the blaze of torches
and the noise and din of the campaign
err Besides the old methods have
grown obsolete. The daily newspaper
reaches more persons. and reaches them
oftener than the campaign orator II
assists It's readers from day TO day Ia
weigh propositions and to measure
candidates for themselves. and hnall,
there is left ntne for the stump speaker
to do.
And. by the way. there is less de-
mand for the purely partisan paper
than ever before. The thick-and-thir
party organ is not popular, because IL
readers realize that there is something
that it has left unsaid. II campaign
