DEFENDS His RECORD
Gen. g. Il. Harries Refutes
Newspaper Charge.
BUSINESS CIRCLES STIRRED
Published Attack On Officers Of
Board of Trade, Charging Use of
Influence for Private Enterprise,
VixorOusly Refuted by the Presi-
dent and other Officers.

At the meeting of the directors of the
Board of Trade yesterday afternoon Gen.
George II. Harries. president of the
Board. made formal and vigorous
statement with reference to implied re-
hections upon himself and other men,
bers contained in an article in an even
ing newspaper.
Gen, Harries characterized as untrue
and without any foundation Of fact the
suggestion that he or any OF the men,
bers of the Board had at any time or In
the slightest degree used the advantage
of their positions to promote individual
or corporate interests, improperly or in
vidiously He pointed to his record OF
seventeen years as a sufficient refutation
Of any charges that were implied in the
attack, and characterized any one who
would attempt to inveigle any Of the
members of the body into such action az
lacking in good sense.
So far as his connection with street
railway investigations was concerned, ne
said he had appeared before the COM
mittee as a witness in his capacity as an
official of the road, and in no way as
member of the Board Of Trade.
Calls Attack Unfair.
Gen. Harries maintained that the at.
tack was unfair to the Board and to the
individual members to whom the bases'
business motives were attributed. AMI
whose zeal for the promotion Of the gen
eral welfare of the city and its widest
interests had been SO recklessly I'M
pugned.
The idea that any one or two individ
uals in any civic position could WELD suci
influence as to mold the opinions OF th'
hundreds of intelligent and infiuentia
members of the business organizations o
the city was, in the estimation Of Gen
Harries, a most ridiculous assumption. l
was equally absurd, he thought, that tn
well-defined and just business policy o
any important enterprise should be mate
rally modified or altered by the recon-
mendations of individuals or changed b!
any amount of mud-throwing.
The subject was brought up informall!
and no action was taken upon the matte
by the directors, nor was the subject fur
ther discussed.
The newspaper article in question
which was also an attack upon D. J. Cal
lahan's eligibility for vice president o
the Chamber of Commerce, caused muci
comment and feeling in business circles.

CONGRESS TO MAKE ISSUES.
Bryan Says It's Too Early to Discuss
Presidential Candidates.

Austin Tex Jan. civilian j.
Bryan, who is here as the guest of Gov.
Campbell, was asked to-day what in his
opinion would be the issues and who
would be the prominent candidate for
the Democratic party in the Presiden-
ton election of 1912. Mr.. Bryan replied:
1T all depends upon Congress. At this
time it is impossible to say what the
issues will be, and who will likely be the
possibilities for the nomination. l think
the entire matter rests with the next
Congress and its action. and its legisia-
ton will largely determine both issues
and the nominees. Believing such to be
the case. there is nothing more for me
to say at this time. as We all have to
await The deliberations of Congress"
Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as hope
full for a Democratic victory in 1872.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

on the fact that their ADVERTISING
IS AN INVESTMENT and that 1T
DECREASES THE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS the more thorough will be
their advertising. and the more of an
asset will 1t become to their business.
The man who starts to advertise with
the idea that it is an expense. or the
man who continues to advertise and
still regards his advertising as an ex-
pense. is not on the right track.
How often do We advertising men
run across the beginner at advertising
or the man who is already advertising
who says. advertising costs too much
money"
When a man feels that way about
advertising he had better not adver-
tise at all, because he hasn't got the
spirit of advertising In him. He is
working altogether on WRONG
principle.
Advertisers who are aiming for sue
cess should bear In mind that GOOD
= ADVERTISING IN GOOD PUBLICA.
TIONS will bring such results as will
enable them to do their business at A
LOWER COST than formerly and will
enable them to sell to the consumer
more merchandise at lower prices.
