propaganda is not effective when it
is labeled. but in the guise of facts it

Crticises Saturday Post
II am just now in possession of
specimen of propaganda Of this very
sort 1t is an advance copy of the Sat
urday Evening Post, known to great
public as a disinterested lorunal. In
all it's history its stated purpose has
been to present the facts and atmos-
phere Of political situations and to re-
frain from controversial positions In
this spirit the Saturday Evening Post
has been admitted as counsellor and
friend into millions Of American homes
But the number of this magazine
which is to be distributed next Thurs
dav. the last number before election, sud
denly throws off the cloak Of non par
tisanship For the first time in its his
tory it resorts to the devices of partisan
editorials and insdious cartoons 10 Gre
ate sentiment for the Republican tic
ket In the cartoons ] am represented
rs a newsboy, invcnting false and sen
sational happenings for the purpose of
selling my wares. My opponent is de-
picted as kindly and wise. The impress
sion is sought to be created that | am
irresponsible, Senator Harding grave and
reliable.
Scores Posts Owner
why has the Saturday Evening Post
done this2 Why has it betrayed its mis-
sion at the last minute Of the eleventh
hour of this campaign: The people know
the answer. 1t has done this thing be-
cause it's owner is one of the plut0cratic
group which knows what it wants Of the
next administration and how to get it
from the syndicate which controls Sena
tor Harding. 1t has done this because
its owner is the head of the movement
which has sought a subsidy from the
government for the delivery of national
magazines. The Saturday Evening Post
has imposed on the confidence of the
American people. won by a long record
or nonpartisanship, and has become a
Republican jorunal because the profi
teers who escape government taxes by
diverting to its millions Of their revenue
in advertising want my opponent elected. |
"Those subscribers who, in good faith, |
have admitted this journal to their
homes all over the United States will
turn its venal counsel ont Of doors
The last week of the campaign will |
be spent by Governor Cox i'll states
where the struggle il reported tense
Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Ken
tucky.
