Response Is Affirmative.

"A response bearing the signature of
Third Assistant A. NJ. Dockery was in
the affirmative. The law upon which
that decision is based is found in sec
tions 437 and 43S of the Postal Laws
and Regulations. which provide that
supplements must be germane to the
publication. must be matter supplied
in order to complete that to which 1t
is added or supplemented. but omitted
from the regular issue for want of
space, time or greater convenience.
The Republican Publicity Associa-
ton believed the adoption of this prac-
tice to be in violation of good law
and against good public policy. The
administration is now conteuding that
second-class matter is carried at an
enormous loss. We submitted the ques-
ton to the department not with the
desire to secure an affirmative de-
cision. but In order that all political
parties might be advised in advance
as to the attitude the department will
take. SO that the party in power shall
not be able to take an undue advan-
tage when the campaign begins"

P. 0. RULING MAY CHANGE
CAMPAIGNING METHODS
Publicity Official Sees Big Saving in
Printing Literature as News
paper Supplement.

Radical changes in the methods of
conducting political campaigns will
follow recent decision by the Post
Office Department that speeches deliv-
cred by members Of Congress, partisan
in purpose and effect. can be included
by newspaper publisher in the regu-
lar issue of his paper and as a supple
ment thereto. provided there is printed
thereon the fact that it is a supple
ment to a certain issue. in the opinion
Of Jonathan Bourne. jr.. president of
the Republican Publicity Association.
Under this decision" said Mr..
Bourne. Campaign committees can
supply copies of pamphlets to papers
willing to include the same as supple
ments and thus obtain wide distrlbu-
ton without the expense of addressing
the matter and without any expense
for postage in the case of papers which
have the free in county privilege.

Will Reduce Expenses.

IF this decision works out as seems
likely. the expense of distribution of
campaign matter will be greatly re-
duced. but the nails will very likely
be flooded with campaign circulars.
Some time ago TIE committee on
public information offered to supply
to any newspaper sufficient quantity
OF copies of the pamphlet. How the
war Came to America to enable such
papers to include a copy to each of
its subscribers. provided there was
printed thereon the statement that 1t
was a supplement to the paper. Al
though having no objection whatever to
the wide distribution of that pamphlet.
the Republican Publicity Association
believed the adoption of this practice
not warranted by postal law.
In order to ascertain how far the
Post ONCE Department proposed to go
in this direction. the association sub
mitted to the Postmaster General a
copy of a strictly partisan speech de-
livered in Congress and inquired
whether that speech would be mailable
as a supplement in the same manner
as the pamphlet above mentioned

You've stayed long enough in the

The colts in a terrible stew;
The small brindle heifer has got
white calf,
And the cattle are bawling for you
The voice of your Betsy is calling you,
dear,
It's nearly time to make soap.
And some of the women are saying
my love,

They say there is desperate flirting
