Newspaper Men Report Good
Business Despite Election
Year Pessimism.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, October 16.-Ncwspaper
publishers and national advertising
experts, here for the eleventh annual
convention of the Audit Bureau of
Calculations, expressed their beliei
that the country's business outlook
was good, despite the presence of
some election-year peSSimism.
NJ. NJ. Murdoch, publisher of the
EaglC, Wichita, Kan. said: The year
1924 will go down in our industrial
history as most remarkable. 1t Is a
national election year and the hot
test, most trade attention -diverting
year outside of war times that we
have seen in more than a decade.
The prospective settlement OF Euro
pean affairs is the only offset to our
own chaotic state of public mind.
further racked by the possibilities of
the national election being a draw:
radical governmental disturbance
viewed with sincere if unjustified
alarm by large body of our COM
mercial citizenship. Despite the un-
favorable influences and inevitable
fluctuations that must always attend
our acquisitive system Of trade, busi-
ness is good and getting better, al
though the rest of the country does
not measure up to Kansas. which is
now feeding the world it's l50. 900, 900

\. G. Newmyer, president OF the
Southern Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION, declared that business will
get steadily better throughout the
remainder of the year and turn into
1925 at a record breaking clip"
According to John W. Sifton, secre-
tarytreaSurer of the Manitoba Free
Press Co, Winnipeg, Manitoba, the
tone of business in the Canadian
prairie provinces shows decided i'm
provement "in spite of a some wha
wet harvest and threshing delayed
by wet weather.
Interest naturally centers in the
movement of the crop" he said
which is turning out much in ad-
vance of the predictions of American
crop experts. Movement of wheat has
not reached it's maximum, but Is run
ming from 1900 to 1900 cars daily,
and the percentage of contract
namely, Manitoba one, two and three

range from 55 cents to so cents per
