ADHERT Using TALKS

Norman Mack, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. gave the
members of the Sphinx Club something to
think about at its October meeting.
He made fine talk. He gave his hear
ers little inside history as TO how poll
teal campaigns are managed. and said.
among other things, that in 1905. when he
and his associates were managing the
Bryan campaign, they received a total
contribution from the people OF about
S5OVvV0, the greater part OF which was
paid into the treasurer during the last
three weeks Of the campaign.
Mr.. Mack said that out OF this large
sum of money he had spent in newspaper
and magazine advertising the sum OF $40.
OOO, and that this expenditure was about
the only expenditure that gave him tam
gible returns.
He expressed the opinion that In the
1917 campaign both parties would spend
large sums Of money in newspaper and
magazine advertising, educating the peo-
pie of the country as TO the respective
claims OF their candidates, and he said
that II he had anything TO do with IL he
would expend at least half OF the money
received IN this kind Of advertising.
was particularly glad to hear this from
Mr.. Mack, because advertising is real
newsstand the advertising pages are edu-
cational.
yhe people OF the country are sufficiently
intelligent TO draw their own conclusions
without having their opinions nodded by
editorial expressions, and what they want
more than anything else is the news about
candidates and what they stand for. Then
they will draw their own conclusions.
1t is a waste OF money to nave pafades.
banquets, brass bands, cart-tail orators
and a lew other things that now absorb
all of the money raised for campaign pur-
poses.
II political managers Of the future Will
put before the readers OF newspapers and
magazines particularly newspapers, Ia
strong, well-written advertisements. the
real facts about their candidates and their
parties, they Will find II the best expen-
diture of money they ever made.

The writer is quite we'll acquainted
with the remarkable career of Mr..

he found he could not do better than
quote literally from little booklet
entitled: The Life Story OF Arthur
Capper, Candidate for the Republican

He had filled nearly every position
