member.

methods of entertaining conventions
and various systems of operating con-
vention bureaus are other subjects Civ
en- prominent places on the program.
No set speeches have been prepared
and at all meetings the discussions will
be of an informal. roundtable nature.
The first meeting of the association
today will be without the formalities

not TO accept entertainment from the
city where the body meets.

tary. was the prime mover. Eighteen

CAMPAIGN DEGRADATION.

For photography it has always been
claimed that the camera told the truth.
Honestly operated, it is exact What
it sees it sees, and the film itself reg
listers no falsehoods Cleverly manip-
ulated, however, the camera may be-
come the most unconscionable liar on
earth.
When for campaign purposes the
Republican national committee makes
use of screens reproducing theatrical
representations of staged Mexican vio-
lence against Catholic nuns. and ac-
companies these exhibitions with
manufactured portraits of President
Wilson showing indifference on his
part, great invention is prostituted
and political party is degraded.
If there is any prejudice of race,
nationality. religion, class or occupa-
ton to which the Republican man
ayers have not appealed in this cam
paign it would be interesting to know
what it is. The cameras untruth
for which a great political party be-
comes responsible, is worse than the
untruth of tongue or pen, because it
has no responsible author. 1t is as
cowardly as it is vicious.
