Plans for Distribution.


OF course, Mr.. Cox has pledged every
body here in the newspaper corps to
secrecy about the topics which will be
discussed in the speech and there 4
one passage in particular which he Is
guarding with the utmost care One
reason why the writer couldn't help
thinking it was jimmy Cox, the news
paper man, rather than the candidate
who was working on that speech was
the governors reference to the nyS
terious paragraph which he plans to
insert IN his speech at the last mo-
ment by giving 1t to the correspondents
, next Saturday to send by wire. Ordi-
narily' speech of this kind Is pre-
pared a week in advance so that ii
can be mailed to all the newspaper
from coast to coast and thus get the
widest publicity TO hold ii till the
last minute. and then put it on the
telegraph wires would burden those
wires and keep other news of the day
from being distributed in it's usual pro
portion. SO with q speech like this
eight columns long-the author must
finish it week ahead OF time to catch
all editions on the Pacific coast A
small insert can readily be sent by
wire and one reason why Gov. Cox
doesn't want to put the particular para.
graph in the speech ahead OF time Is
his certainty that 1t will be promptly
carried back to Republican headquar-
tnis. / StIUlIb spesCn 10 nunQreQS
OF newspapers means having it pass
through countless hands. There isn't
much secrecy about speeches given out
In advance so far as conversation about
them Is concerned, though TO be sure
they are never published in newspapers
before the date of delivery unless by
accident or misunderstanding.
Gov. Cox has proposed something
which he wants to be the first to Law
before the country. Maybe Senator
Harding will think well of it and imi l.
tate the Democratic nominee. Maybe
he will not. Anyway, the Democratic
nominee doesn't want to get "scooped''
by the Republican nominee and he Is
holding his announcement till the last
minute. Jimmy Cox, the newspaper
man, is responsible for that caution
and strategy and when the public reads
that particular announcement of non
partisan policy which he proposes, per-
haps the reason for his action will be
better understood,

that must accompany a speech of ac-

good deal of material for speeches to
be made on the stump later on.

says-and he claims to know what he
is talking about. The Milwaukeean
