HOST OF ORATORS
SEEK GEN. DUPONT
Many Willing to Help the
Republican Party Save
the Country

General T. Coleman DUPONT who Is
in charge of the Republican national
speakers bureau. is not confronted
with any scarcity Of spellbinders. That
the market is still full of campaign
orators and "nearorators" he has
learned in the past two weeks. The
trouble is to get the real SPELL binders,
who can produce the desired results,
IN this campaign we want for
speakers men whose names are an at
traction in themselves" says General
dupont IF they can make rattling
want quality and reputation rather
than mere numbers of spell-binders
and volleys Of words.
"One big man on the stump is worth
three small ones, every time just as
he is IN any other line. They draw the
crowds, and what they have to say
leaves an impression. The poor speaker
gets an audience only Of persons who
have no place else to go and nothing
else to do. They pay little attention
to him, and are there merely to pass
away the time.
"A wonderful lot are the fellows that
come In here seeking opportunity to
save the party and the country-for
pay. One fellow to-day demanded
$3.50 for his oratorical services.
Per month"; 1 queried.
"'No, per week. he replied with a
show of Indignation.
Put Their Price Too High
L told him that he didn't earn $3.50
per month at any business, and after
while he admitted that his income
was just a little less than that. And
out he went.
"The next man stated his price at
$3.50. I thought he meant by the year,
but he insisted II would have to be
that much per week He isn't on the
list yet. Here's an application from a
woman who wants to be a campaign
worker. What do you think of the
idea?"
I'VE are getting up a little system
here Of keeping track Of these country
savers. A little card gives the history
Of each one, what he has done, for how
much. his specialties and how good he
has made. When we send out a
speaker the State and local chairman
where he appears are requested TO
make reports on his value, so we shall
know soon just the calibre Of every
man.
Some make good for workingmen
audiences and some for rural commun-
tiles; some are good on statistics and
others for stirring up enthusiasm, OF
] humor or repartee. Then there are
others that are no good at all, and the
little card will tell iust when and what
for they were bounced of the list
1.-THE million or more congressman,
Office holders. ex-office holders and
would-be Office holders are rallying

Of them give their services free and

Good Hints.

For cleaning jewelry there is nothing
better than ammonia and water. If
dull and dirty rub a little soap on a
soft brush and brush the piece In this
wash. Rinse in clear water and polish
with chamois skin. The secret OF
standing and walking erect consist in
keeping the chin away from the
breast. This throws the head upward
and backward, and the shoulders will
naturally settle backward in their true
position.
