New York Democrats Likely to Leave

New York, April 13.-That the DEM
ocratic state convention which will
meet here tomorrow, will vote to send
an uninstructed delegation to the ma
tional convention at Denver, is prob
able. The followers of William j. Bry-

Bryan, and while it is not expected that
they will be successful, their action
may precipitate a lively fight on the

BILL BOARD ADVERTISING RAP
IDLY DECREASING.
Large Advertisers Find 1t Unproft-
able as Compared to Advertising
In the Newspapers.

In discussing the value Of news
paper advertising over that of bill
boards and other methods the Harris
burg Telegraph says:
With all due respect to the several
civic Improvement organizations at
work throughout the country for the
elimination OF the billboard, the great
est results are to be anticipated from
a new factor in the campaign-name-
ly, the discovery on the part Of several
big advertising concerns, after careful
and costly tests, that the billboard adj
vertisement isn't to be compared with
newspaper space of equal cost as q
means of reaching the buying public
After an experiment in billboard adj
vertising which continued five or six
years, the American Tobacco Co. has
returned to newspaper advertising
This company, which devoted most OF
its billboard space to advertising GER
tain smoking tobaccos, spent s1,25o, oot
4 year upon the billboards, which
amount will be spent hereafter il
newspaper and magazines. 80 com
pany knows better the worth of adver
Using. and no company is doing il
more judiciously. A few more exper-
fences of this sort ought to settle the
vexed problem of the billboard.
