PEOPLE AND THE CAMPAIGNS

Reports show that the national
Democratic campaign was conducted
on an outlay of 81 10000 That is
an immense amount of money, per-
haps more than should be required
for the management of national
campaign, but the interesting fact is
also recorded that there were 81 900
contributors to the fund.
That means that more individuals
had share in the campaign expenses
than ever before and that no winning
presidential fight has been made in
this generation on so small an
amount. The average OF about S12
per contributor shows real popular
int rest in the campaign Hereto
fore the contributions have chiefly
been made by the privileged few.
In spite of this splendid showing.
we predict the next national campaign
will be conducted with less money.
The campaign managers are learning
that they have been spending TOO
much money on a class Of publicity
work that is wholly wasted The
voters are doing their own thinking
these days and are not deceived by
the pretcntious claims mad by spell
binders and highly paid press agents.
