The Great Handicap
Chairman Cordell Hull of the dem
ocratio committee cannot get the
facts to the people. His publicity 10
effect Is minimized. So empty in the
treasury, that he has been forced to
abandon his intention of invading all
enemy territory. As result, demo-
cratic speakers will be sent only into
those states where democrats have
not q fighting chance-but q good
chance of victory
Democratic publicity consists of a
news letter addressed each week to
the newspapers of the country. Oc-
casionally. a special address to wom-
en- voters has appeared. The repuo-
licans, on the other hand. issue daily
a letter to the country press of the
country, and an article of appeal to
women.
Furthermore. the year round they
print the National Republican, a
weekly magazine. 1t is a good mag
azine. And in addition 1t is highly
partisan. It carries no apprecia-
tive amount of advertising. 1t costs
the plutoerats pretty penny.

in other states remind the repub-

Money the Argument
