Politicians Interest Stirred.
The success of News experiment
has aroused keen interest among
politicians, who point to the possi-
oility that the radio-phone may
come into general use in political
campaigns, saving time and ex-
pense. A candidate could address
hundreds OF his constituents stimuli
taneously. without ever leaving his
home. In addition, devices have
been perfected which magnify the
voice OF the speaker and enable him
to address crowds in auditoriums
or other public meeting places.
The fact that special receiving
equipment is necessary to pick up
the radio message is. ofApurse, a
drawback. 1t is estimated, how
ever, that a million receiving sets
are installed in homes throughout
the country at the present time,
which would give a speech a fairly
wide circulation. And the demand
for receiving sets continues to be
so great that manufacturers have
difficulty In. meeting t..
Expenses Would Re Cut.
The radio campaigning. IL was
thought. would be particularly use
full in sparsely settled areas. or for
reaching voters in. inaccessible
places. Value was seen also from
the fact that expenses of campaign
ing would be reduced. One of the
chief objections to the primary has
been the cost IL put on candidates
by obliging them to conduct a dou-
BILE campaign.
As recently as the 1920 election
the suggestion that the radio might
be practically employed would have
been secuted. But II is being given
serious thought at present.
