The convention city will be selected at
meeting Of the department presidents
tonight and the nominating committee
will meet Wednesday afternoon. Action
in both cases will have to be ratihed by

Edward n. Hurley, Of Chicago
formerly chairman of the United States
shipping board and prior to that chair
man Of the federal trade commission
aud Il. Il. Meredith, secretary of the
Department of Agriculture, were two
of the chief speakers at the general ses
sion today.
Hurley on Value Of Advertising
Mr. Hurley's theme was the value o.
! advertising IN it's relation to the coun
try's business prosperity. He premiset
an exhaustive discussion with the OBJ
servation that ''it has been stated that
before the war only one hundred
Americans had an international vi
sion" and declared that adyertisin.
has been hurt by emotional appropria
tons. He added that merchants mus
| figure advertising cost in their budgets
as an expense just as rent or labor
charging it against each product ant
article.
Summarized. Mr.. Hurley's argument
was that advertising today is a neces
sity and an asset; that trade journals
enable advertising men TO keep theii
finger on the pulse Of different indus
tries; that it is as important to know
the cost Of distribution as it was few
years ago to ascertaiu production costs
that the government should make
survey of our jobbers and retailers anC
their merchandising costs.
Only 90 Per Cent Of Business Men Vote
Only 20 per cent Of American bust
ness men vote. said the. speaker. ant
asked how can we expect results from
Congress and Legislature. when only
such a small'minority Of US arc inter.
estcd in the policies of our govern
mcnt. .......
"Lct us assume our snare OF the re
sponsibilities of government. and en-
| deavor to make this country as CT.
| ficicntly managed as we want our busi'
ncsscs to be-" Mr.. Hurley urged.
American Merchant Marine

his advocacy Of a privately owned anC
operated American merchant marine. Il
which he devoted the latter portion o.
