This sum he has turned over to the
campaign committee. So far other
nominees have not gone on record in
the monographs or before the pic

ern campaign methods and Yankee
ingenuity 1t does not require a great
stretch of the imagination to con-
ceive political campaigns carried on
in this way.
Mr.. Taft has several times stated
he did not want this to be a cam
paign of limitations. So far Frank
Hitchcock has been equal to the
occasion in springing new moves on
the other managers but the Demo-
Gratis have the jump on Mr.. Hitchcock
in introducing this novelty to spread
Mr.. Bryan's fame. 1t is suggested,
too, that campaign songs be in
troduced into the monographs so
that all may become familiar with
them. One song which is on tap al

All these and many more are the
signs which are prophesied to adorn
the penny arcade of the future, es-
pecially during campaign seasons. The
suggestion was originated by the
Democratic managers in behalf of
Nominee Bryan. Already canned
oratory' is on sale at one cent per
argument in many places in Chicago
and the west. A more practical way
of handling this would be the
one suggested in which view
of the nominee in action, to
the accompaniment of his own
speech, could be had. This would
be of great benefit not only in
advertising the candidate but in en-
tightening the world and sharing
with the poor man the benefits of
famous speeches. Upon Mr.. Bryan's
own statement he was paid $500 by

The largest booster meeting eNel
held in Greeley was brought about
by the Commercial club at the
monthly banquet Monday evening.
Over one hundred members and VS.
itors surrounded the specially ar
ranged tables at the Camtield. and
after partaking OF most excellent
menu. the question OF interurban
railroads was discussed from A to z.
II was a booster meeting from start

'knocker" in the assemblase he
failed to make himself known. The
secretary of the Boulder Commercial
club and two business men from the
same city were present to tell what
the interurban road has done for
Boulder in one year.
President Clayton of the local or
ganization presided and on his right
hand sat Senator-elect d. K. Carpen-
ter, who was one of the principal
boosters of the evening.
While the speeches We're in prog
ress, the company enjoyed a smoke,

manufacturer, presented the club
