USING PICTURE SHOWS FOR POL

came from New York without postage
stamps on them. nor was there on the
package any indication that postage

conclusion that such packages are be-

is possible postage is paid, some way

cannot believe otherwise.
We must confess we do not under
stand about this matter. nor how II
was gotten up. The package in ques-
ton was received simultaneously
with the publication of the presidents
appeal or nearly so. from which one
must conclude that 1t was prepared
weeks in advance, for thousands OF
slides for movies cannot be made In
an hour arIG' adorned with new pic
lures of the president.
The only conclusion is that this adj
vertislng matter was prepared weeks
in advance and that the plan to make
such appeals in the closing days OF
the campaign was made far ahead and
with elaboration. While the rest OF
the country was laboring under the
delusion that politics had been ad-
journed and republicans. were thus
put to sleep. they were preparing for
this stampede in the closing days OF
the campaign
The public that pays for seeing pic
ture shows will have to be on its
guard against this invasion Of the
realm of publicity. Much along such

disguise Of patriotism. but this is a

der government licenses now, or taxes
and 1t is possible that some Of them

run such slides through for "the ad-

If he had written letters to three con-
