Methods of publicity were dis
cussed. Senator Newlands stated II
was the desire to have all the pub
iicity handled from The Journal as
a central station, collating, original
ing, editing and distributing the mat
ter, besides publishing liberal
amount of paid news matter for all
candidates. He was clearly told
that no negotiations were invited or
would be entertained as to the sale
of editorial support
On the question of expense it was
suggested by The Journal editor that
the law must be followed and that 1t
permitted the expenditure of 40 per
cent of an aggregate one years sal
airy, or S26,360 as the maximum.
Total salaries for one year amounted
to S65,900. or $685., 500 for am average
four-year term
Taking this as a tentative basis
Senator Newlands inquired for a
lump sum. indicating generally a lib
eral use OF space in the paper for a
period of 30 to 40 days. He inquired
for an estimate of cost and was told
that some definite indication must
be made of the amount of publicity
required Asking for any other basis
of measure, he was told the line rate
of 20 cents a line was the regular
business rate, not charging for news
matter voluntarily furnished nor any
consideration of editorial support.
Senator Newlands spoke for all the
candidates, all being included in the
contemplated service The alterna-
tive plan was outlined of line rate
or lump sum. the latter being not
/ fixed.
On the following Tuesday Senator
/ Newlands was told in response to
further inquiry in Carson City that
/ If he did not choose to adopt line
rate basis, the lump sum would be
$4,000, covering all paid and marked
publicity that might be desired No
decision was made by Senator New
lands.

told the only cheaper rate was the
classified advertising rate. which was

I suitable for such purposes.

We do not consider that an obi
