HE CALLS IT BUNK. !"
j. E. House Has Poor Opinion of PO-
IiticaI Advertising.

"AlI political advertising is bunk, )"
was the statement of j. E House (Dodd
Gaston) in speaking on How the Poll
ticians Advertise" before 90 members
of the Topeka Ad club today. The
Mysterious Unknown who was ad-
vertised by President N B. Burge as
the man who would handle the subject
in question proved to be no other per-
son than the same Dodd CASTOR.
When a man decides to run for
Office continued the speaker, he
fixes up a line of conversational salve
and proceeds to anoint the voters The
difference is that one class pays for the
salve and the other has it delivered
free at the house, express prepaid. L
know a Kansas man now holding office
who is crook. Everybody who has
been Intimately associated with him
knows he is a crook
His moral obliquities have been for
years the talk of the town in which he
lives. 1t has been said, of him that he
has more lady friends than any other
married man in Kansas. But the news
papers printed SO much hot air about
him when he ran for office that the
great mass of voters who contributed
to his election believe him to be an
honest man and hero.
L could name off-hand a dozen other
Kansas officials holding office by grace
of your votes and mine who are men
tally and morally unfit They were pro-
Jected into the offices they now hold by
political advertising.
IF you want a political office do
not make the mistake of buying news
paper space in which to say so. They
don't do that any more in the best cir
Giles. The method is quite passe, so
to speak. Instead get out and stir
things up. Talk a good deal about the
pee-pul and their rights. Refer in
scathing terms to the interests
Sprinkle your conversation with
remarks about corporate greed and
characterize every man who happens
to disagree with your political and
economic notions as a machine poll
ttcian or the tool of one. Be brave.
Any man who merely wants an Office
can be brave. If you talk loud enough
and courageous enough some newspa-
per anxious to increase its power or
add to it's prestige will take you up
and give you all the advertising you
want. Other newspapers will fall in
line and contribute their columns to
your cause. You will speedily become
famous as a servant of the people and
will be able to get any office you want
Don't fool away your time running for
sheriff at a considerable expense. Talk
big and go to congress for nothing
The club voted to ask the park
commissioner to find a name for the
