Using mtheods. at a standard price
OF $3.50 each. are the latest publicity
promoters to flow from the bottom

of General Woods Presidential cam
paign in Indiana are alleged to be
seeking nomination at any price sc-
cording 10 the Indiana Daily Times.

Indiana editors, the newspaper also de-
clares. in a sensational editorial in
which IL asks what do Proctor and

Text of Editorial.
Tho editorial reads:
sect the nomination at any cost.
This word has been passed down the
line In the Leonard Wood organiza-
ton, and his Indiana managers at
least have taken those who are financ-
ing the campaign at their word.
"The latest publicity plan resorted
to Is that of obtaining paid testl-
monials' The Wood campaign thus
far has resembled to a great extent
patent medicine advertising campaign
The testimonials read something like
this:
mr.. Adolphus Jones, a street car
conductor living in Yandes street has
Endorsed the nomination OF General
Wood. 4 think General Wood would
make good President, said Mr..
Jones'
The reason for the numerous testi-
monials has now been revealed. They
are being paid for at the rate Of 500
a piece.
Interview Worth $3.50.
The word has gone out from Wood
headquarters that whoever brings In
an Interview approving the candi-
.dacy of General Wood will be paid
the sum of $3.50. The Wood pub
licity department with the exception
OF it's activities in obtain testi-
monials,' is operating like a press as

lican newspaper and some Democratic
newspapers long press messages, with
all charges prepaid, just like regular

Zone Republican editor said he had
repeatedly written Wood headquarters
asking that the service be discon-
tinued because the messages were
making extra work for his office boy
in cmptying the waste basket. but
received no reply and the messages
continued to arrive with such fire.
quency that the office boy asked for
a raise But the Geographic pub
licity is not the only type OF pub
licity that the Wood headquarters is
getting out.
Mails Swamped with Stories
"The postal system is swamped with
stories sent by mail and the express
companies are increasing the number
of employees because of the boiler
plate publicity being sent out.
Some of the Republican newspa-
pers have arranged with the junk
man to call weekly for the purpose
of hauling away wagonload of old
metal on each trip.
William Proctor and others in his
class are drawing heavily on their
bank accounts, and. as said before,
the organization is taking them at
their word.
THE natural question is: What do
Mr.. Proctor and the numerous other
wealthy hackers of the General eX-
pect to get out of it?' They are not
in the habit Of spending their money
II they do not believe a successful
expenditure will bring 4 return in
the investment"
