INTERESTING POLITICAL SUCCESS.
TON MADE.
Generally Believed That Senator Scott
Would Accept Nomination for
Governor.

Among well informed Republican
politicians in Ohio county. the propo-
sition is being generally discussed OF
the dual candidacy OF Hon. N B.
Scott for governor and Hon W. L.
Hubbard for United States senator.
IL is generally believed that Senator
Scott. while not a candidate in any
sense OF the word for governor, would
accept the nomination and make a
vigorous campaign for election. Mr.
SCOTS views on the gas tax question,
which promises to be the heavy plank
in the Republican state platform. are
well known and II IS thought that he
would make a strong candidate. From
the very first Mr.. Scott has been an
ardent advocate OF production tax
on gas
Mr.. Hubbard's ambitions TO be
United States senator are generally
understood. and while no one has
made any authoritative announcement
for him. II is the belief that he would
Ike to become a candidate for the
senate.
Ohio county Republicans generally
are not anxious for a renewal OF the
Scott-Huhbard clash At a meeting
OF active Republican workers during
wv ptSt week tue suggestion or the
candidacy of Mr. Scott for governor
and Mr.. Hubbard for the senate was
made and was favorably received.
Whether or not there will be any
further developments along this line
remains for the future 10 tell. but the
fact that the suggestion has been
made indicates a desire among Re
publicans 10 avoid any ugly political
fights that would blight the chances

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM G. FREEMAN.

THE PURPOSE OF ADJ
VERTlSING is to enter into
an agreement between the ad-
vertiSer and the public on a
basis that will be mutually
agreeable and profitable.
If advertising is actuated
by any other purpose it will
fall short of accomplishment.
1t is obvious that the adver-
tiSer wants to sell his mer-
chandiSe; it should he obvious
to him that he must sell it
RIGHT if he is to get CON-
TINUED PATRONAGE
from the public.
; All of us know of advertis-
3 ing successes that had their
foundation in fraud through
out their whole careers, but
{ THEY DID NOT LAST, did
they?
The agreement entered into
by the advertisers and the
public must be AS BINDING
as any legal document that's
soundly drawn.
1t should be a COMPACT
between the two that means
that each is to give a
SQUARE DEAL to the other.
There won't be any trouble
about the public always Civ
ing a square deal if the adver-
tiSer will give it a square deal.
The advertising put out by
a firm should be carefully con-
sidered before it is released for
publication. 1t should avoid
anything and everything that
might miSlead the public in
agreeing to patronize it.
Do advertisers always care
fully consider? Or are thew
impelled by a motive to GET
THE CROWD if they can, no
matter how they get it?
In smaller communities,
where everybody knows
everybody, there is very little
likelihood of the public being
deceived by advertising. The
merchant there knows he
MUST MAKE GOOD. He
knows if he does not, he will
not do any business.
In larger communities,
where there are great thrOngs
of people-tranSient ana resi-
dent-the advertising faker
thinks he can escape the con-
sequences Of miSrepreSenta-
ton, and he does. sometimes
for a long period, hut in the
end he gets his deserts as he
always does.
The INCREASING FAITH
In advertising is being brought
about because the majority Of
advertisers big majority,
too-live up to their agree
ments.
The good merchants should
mite with good newspapers
N driving out the frauds in
every community.

required that the work be completed by
