Advertising and salesmanship are

vertising writer has brought the busi-

cooperate without getting results, and
the wise salesman does not work
alone. but employs tools which come
within his reach. such as the newspa-

bill boards.
There are a number OF tests which
apply both to the personal salesman
and the advertising writer The tive
most important are the method Of the
writer and sincerity.
In modern advertising the words q
the writer must be placed before the
public in the most plausible manner
Anyone can write and anyone can tel

that stands out above all else in the
Chicago muddle is that bluff is the
weapon being used with greatest eff
fe.t. Taft finds that itooseev:S rns
bought off some of his negro delegates
and adyertises the treason. Roosevelt
discovers that some of his henchmen
have been offered bribe money and he
calls in the newspaper men and tells
them about II.
So far the president of the United
States has not directly concerned
himself with the Chicago battle. He
has had the decency and the respect
for the American people to remain
away and keep silent. 4,
Roosevelt is on the ground. He Is
scrapping like ward boss in pre-
cinct convention. He is doing things
that would shock the old fashioned
party men and he is talking like cy-

DECENTRALIZATION.

The political prognosticators are
burning telegraph wires and filling

many words of explanation they rath'

who will be nominated at Chicago.
Taft has the delegates on paper, but
they are on paper. Roosevelt is a
serious menace, but he is still only a
menace. Neither side has broached
the dark horse question because nei-
ther side has the courage.

they do not have things their own
