this literature is doing a vast amount
OF good among those who are seeking the
light on public questions"
One of the things that suggested this
form of editing speeches is the cost of

Mr.. Gaines and his associates say they
have very little money with which to
pay printing bills, and this new idea, in
addition to putting the literature in a
better shape, is a money-saver The demo-
cratic hand book is now receiving its
finishing touches by Mr.. Gaines. but will
not be issued for some days. This will
be a comprehensive work intended more
for the use of speakers and writer's than
for the general reader
