subject. I
The big metropolitan newspapers
have been printing daily anywhere
from 10 to 20 columns about 1t, ex-
elusive of paid advertising. In the
smaller journals, not merely is much
space given to general politics. but
John Smith and Thomas Brown have
been issuing fervid appeals to their
neighbors, setting forth the reasons
why they should be honored with leg

The amount of printing matter dis
tributed during this campaign regard
ing politics is beyond the powers of
the human mind to understand, 1t is
safe to say that the average daily
newspaper has printed seven columns
of 1900 words each for period of
100 days, that the average weekly has
printed five columns of 1900 words
each for rs weeks. Multiply one total
by 1900, about the number of dailies,
and the other by $4,000, about the
number of weeklies, semi-weeklies, an
tri-weeklies, and the astounding tota
of 6,739, 100000 words is shown fron
