POLITICAL ADVERTISING

II is doubtful If any of the money
contributed to the national compaign
funds was spent TO better advantage
than that spent in newspaper adver-
tising in the last fortnight of the cam
paign. Both parties put out careful.
ly prepared arguments that were ef-
fectively displayed according to most
approved advertising standard and
printed in the daily newspapers in all
the doubtful states. In this way the
campaign committees were able to
secure wide publicity for their ap-
peals regardless Of the editorial
sympathies of the newspapers that
printed them. The advertisements
cost great deal of money in the ag
gregate, but il is certainty that so
much effective publicity could not be
secured so economically in any other
way. If the arguments were not ef-
fectlve it was not the fault of the
medium that circulated them. In the
next national campaign it is not un-
likely one of the first moves on both
sides will be to work out an elabor-
ate advertising campaign designed TO
influence newspaper readers. Very
few newspapers now refuse to print
clean political advertising merely
through lack of sympathy with the
cause il is intended to advance. Big
and large the newspapers OF the
country reach practically all the vot-
ers who take an interest in politics.
With good cause good corps OF
experts and plenty of
to pay for newspaper adver-
tising winning political victory
ought to be about as easy as working
up a sale for a new brand OF really
good chewing gum.-Sioux City Jour

submarines Coming and Going

The return of the Deutschland du-
pllcates notable feat, emphasizes
the growing potency of the undersea
craft and if she gets back home safe
~, may discount the loss of the Bre-
men or Bremens Captain Koenig,
the commander becomes twice a
hero, and his crew, providing it is the
same, has added TO its laurels. II
Captain Koenig finds there is less in
terest here in his latest exploit than
IN the FIRST. he is himself partly TO
blame, for he provided sensational
novelty and news feature and then
proceeded TO rob the feat of sensation
alism and even novelty The second
trip OF the Deutschland, however, is
news and has special interest of it's
own.
When 1t is recalled that the first
trip of the Deutschland followed
long period during which Germany

her pledges regardign illegal submar-
Inc warfare, the reception Of the
peaceful submarine merchantmen ex-
plains itself Captain Koenig him
self has paid glowing tributes TO the
fair treatment he received and com
mended our government most high
ly for its scrupulous observance OF
neutrality, which alone made it posi-
bile for the Deutschland to depart
safely.
Since that time many things have
happened. Among others was the
visit of the U-53, which left an In
delibie impression. The U-53 was as
unwelcome as the Deutschland was
welcome. The visit of the armed
vessel was taken by many persons as
threat. In spite of the way I'm
which II conducted itself. the fact re.
mains that the U-53 brought the war
to our shores. II spread terror In
shipping circles II challenged our
good faith, and reminded us that 1t
was sparing life merely as a matter OF
form. Nor Ia that all.
II may be nothing more than a CO.
incidence, but the U-53's reported ar

While smarting under the sharp
sting OF defeat, Col Bixby of the Lin
coin journal added the following 10
the sorrows of defeated Nebraska
candidates:
The Day After
The politician is man
OF fame among the folk;
When he becomes an ALSO ran"
His troubles are a Joke,
And people scorn him more or less
Because he isn't success.
II one gets votes enough 10 drown
The opposition crew,
He gathers TO himself renown
And honors not a few
With lavish hands bestrew his track
And will tin Porter puts 1t back
The ones now humbled by defeat
Are plenty here and there;
They walk along the busy street,
Grim pictures OF despair.
The star OF hope beyond doubt,
For them is fairly blotted out.
And many there be today who
dread
To meet their fellow-men:
And many an aching heart and head
Is evidence again
That politics Is rather slow.
TO make men glad and keep them so
OF course not all who run are said
And mentally at sea;
The more successful ones are slad
And proud as they can be;
And you can hear them. one by one.
Remark like this: "See what done!"
To those who lost l want to say,
Take courage. friends, once
more
The sun will shine as bright some
day
AS il has shone before.
And you will then be glad no doubt
That in the race you petered out.
And in the future. tempest tossed.
II may seem no disgrace
But better 10 have run and lost
Than not TO have made the race
For me, | love not politics;
I'd rather be a reacher. BIN

Political ADV ertisinS

The thing that distinguished the
late campaign from any OF its prede-
cessors was the very great increase
in the use OF periodical advertising.
Both notional, state and county com
nittees plugged on newspaper space
according TO their means.
OF course, one reason Tor this
the growth OF the commercial reli-
ance on advertising, which is greater
than ever before, but there is an.
other reason, and one which is to the
advantage and the credit OF the p"o-
pie OF the country. Advertising j.
about the most conspicuous large
way in which campaign funds can
usec under ourr ecent laws with any
assurance OF results The scandal
Gus practices OF Dudley, with his
blocks OF five in Indiana in the
eighties, and the later but hardly
less scandalous Rhode Island custom
OF hiring the time of a voter on Elec-
ton Day, have been crippled If not
destroyed by the secret ballot
The readiness to spend OF to accept
money in those ways may be just a.
great as ever it was. but the invest
or's only reliance in getting returns
for his money is upon the 'privat,
honesty" OF the man he is bribing
There Is In many minds a distinction
between voting for your own pock
ct" and breaking your word TO a man
v no has given YOU money in reliance
upon IT, II is 70 be hoped for on
own credit that the number OF voters
who can be swayed by this mixture
OF ignorance with moral insensibility
is small But there is such an ele-
ment in the electorate and such mon
ey as is used TO buy votes is aimed
for the pockets of such voters. The
uncertainty of the results-especially
In time OF aroused interest-has
tended to release money which used
to be spent in that way and cam
paign managers are putting part of 1t
into advertising.
Whatever the effect Of the election
upon our Government, there are not
as yet any trustworthy indications
that ii will be corrupt or that II will
not record the real will of the voters
There arc rumors Of course, of the
revival oy old and d.credlted prac-
tices, but The fact has disappeared
Both our secret ballot and our cor
rupt practices and publicly laws tend
TO discourage them, while the arous-
ed consciousness which has led TO the
passage of the laws tend TO discover
their violation. That cynical motot:
"If you can't be good, be careful,
applies with especial force to the CON
duct OF political campaigns under our
new conditions, and extreme care
negatives the effect Of attempted in
reference with the voters EXPIRES
sion OF his free choice. An election
which records the free will of the
people cannot be permanently or wide
ly disastrous, however the defeated
partisans may look at it the morn
ing after. and the use of advertising
Is an attempt to influence that will
by honest argument If the increase
of that practice indicates the sub
sidence of less creditable methods
