WASHINGTON, d. c., March =.
Dear Dad-As a possible presiden-
tial candidate Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette is showing strength
throughout the country which Is sur
prising even his most enthusiastic
friends. From all sections come let
tiers, and even kilograms, urging him
to get into the race. The strange
part OF II also Is that politicians OF
the old party organization are writing
and sending TO ask whether there Is
any concerted LaFollette movement
and what is being done. IL there Is
ANYTHING starting in the LaFollette
line they say they want TO get in ear
ly. AS a matter OF fact there is moth
ing concerted as yet In the LaFollette
movement. There Is no money and
no organization and the only LaFol-
lette boom which exists Is that which
results from a spontaneous demand
from people who are dissatisfied with
the Taft administration and want TO
see some other than Taft nominated
In 1912.
Louis Brandeis has been in the city.
/ understand that movement Is on
foot which will probably result in his
being chosen by the magazine editors
to present their case on the subject
of postal rates. II this happens, trust
Mr.. Brandeis to broaden the inquiry
until IL brings In things quite as en-
Tightening and significant as TO the
management OF the postofice depart
ment as we're uncovered in the Bal
linger AFFAIR.
You may be interested in knowing
how the papers got the first reports
that the army would intervene in Mex

happened this way. The president
had started south and on the train
with him were dozen correspond
ents. Among them was our old friend
Gus Karger, who, as you know, is
washington correspondent for brother
Charley's Cincinnati paper. and is the
recognized press agent OF the Taft
administration. Gus Is a good sort
and as smooth as they are manufac-
tured. Well, before the train got to
Charlottesville, Gus saw the presi-
dent. and then came to the newspaper
gang I'm their car and said substan-
TALLY this:
Boys, I've got the story, but am
going to give II to you on conditions.
The conditions are these-that you
don't put IL up to Taft. He doesn't
want the story put up to him. He
doesn't want to be asked anything
about this Mexican situation. Now
the facts are, and you can put II In
your own way, observing the usual
caution about not quoting the presi-
dent-the facts are that the army Is
going down there and is going to pro-
tect property and American citizens,
and preserve neutrality along the
border and is going to stamp out the
instruction; particularly that in
surrection I'm lower California
where a lot OF Socialists proposed to
set up an independent government.
Our troops are going TO stamp 1t out
at any cost. Now, go ahead and write
the story. but don't say anything to
the old man."

to come to Camden to buy mer-
chandise.
If proposition were put up
to the average merchant to adj
vertise under such conditions,
he would not consider it for a
moment.
Yet, the ]. B. VAN SEWER
COMPANY furniture house
of Camden-took up advertising
in the Philadelphia newspapers,
and inasmuch as they have kept
steadily at it for TWENTY
YEARS, it would seem as
though it had paid them.
In addition to the Philadel-
phia newspapers, the company
uses the local Camden papers,
also, and ! am told that they are
doing a big business.
When Mr.. Van Solver started
to advertise in the Philadelphia
papers there were plenty of peo-
pie who prophesied that he was
throwing his money away, but
they changed their tune when
the business began to GROW
STEADILY each year.
There are many merchants in
territories adjacent to larger
cities who do not advertise in
the city newspapers. Is not the
illustration /. have just cited a
GOOD EXAMPLE for these
merchants to follow?
1t is quite possible to attract
people to suburban territories if
the merchant has something
that they want to buy, and if he
lets them know what he has to
sell.
