Democratic candidate will be
put at the head of the ticket at
the convention.
There are men in the party
who will poll more votes than
either Mr.. McAdoo or Cover
nor Smith. Senator Ralston, of
Indiana; Oscar Underwood, of
Alabama; John w. Davis, of
w. Virginia, look better to US
as vote getters than the two
leading aspirants.
The Democrats have every
reason to believe that they can
win this year, and they are not
likely to overlook this oppor-

Right or wrong 1--WE leave
that to your conscience) religion
is being as efficiently CONNER
cialized as any modern BUSH
ness as it relates to the modern
revival and professional revival
list.
Great structures must be
builded especially for these cam
paigns; large sums guaranteed
and volumes of publicity pre-
cede the meetings.
The professional revivalist
has his staff of publicity ex-
perts, the same as a circus. po-
litical or commercial campaign.
Usually they are trained news
paper men, familiar with every
detail of the publicity game.
Here is a sample of the work
of one of these publicity men:
Plans for the evangelistic
campaign in City of Blank are
making good Roadway.
The secretary of the chamber
of comerce has given the work
ers space in the chamber of COM
meree. Headquarters for the
campaign are now located there.
Mr.. Blank, the manager, will be
glad to receive all help possible
to make the campaign worth
while.
The Rev. Blank is stirring the
city of Blank as it has never
been stirred before. Great
crowds are attending every SER
vice. Ministers of the city are
lending their cooperation. Ev-
cry night large numbers are con-
verted.
Rev. Blank recently receiv-
ed request from the Photopress
company of London, for photo
graphs of himself to be used in
English newspapers. Rev. Blanks
eYangelistic work is receiving a
great deal of favorable comment
in the English papers.
With the change of a word
here and there. this same story
might be used by one of the
Hollywood stars or some street
carnival.
The average man shrinks
from anything that would tend
to commercialize his belief in
the teachings of The Holy Naz-
arine.
