Before he took up his organizing la
bors for the. Khan, Bossert was small
town lawyer in Indiana His first ex-
perience in organization work was in
helping Will H. Hays overhaul and get
in running order the G. 0. P. machine
in the Hoosier state.
Whether there was anything poll
teal in Bossert's mind when he turned
organizer for the Khan, perhaps he him
self doesn't know. Many, however BEL
lieve he believed the Khan offered a
shortcut to political influence and
power. At least it has given him that.
Bossert and the Khan were decid-
ing factors in the recent Republican
primary in Indiana When Bossert
visited Washington he had no difficulty
in arranging conference with Sena-
tor James E. Watson, who previously
had announced he would have no deal
ings with Khan or klansman.. Later it
was understood that Bossert had "sold"
Watson on the Khan.
Anyway, as good salesman who
is interested in knowing his "line,'
Bossert didn't miss a move in the test
of Khan strength as it was staged in
the Democratic tug of war. He says
it's still a salable line.
Folks who weren't taking the con-
vention too seriously had a good time
up until the second week of the pro-
ceedings.

Because radio makes it possible to
widen the audience of any given speak
er to include the whole country, large
radio audiences, Popenoe believes, will
be sought after even more eagerly than
large public gatherings.
Radio popularization of a few eff
fective speakers, together with the oc-
casional nationwide broadcasting of
addresses by the presidential candi-
dates themselves, rather than the in
discriminate haranguing of hit and
miss spellbinders who confuse instead
of clarity the issues, is proposed as
the most promising program for sell
ing the respective candidates. "by
air."
With some 100000 radio sets now
in American homes, every voter who
cares to hear the causes of the candi-
dates as presented by themselves or
their party's leading spokesman, can
do so. If he hasn't a set in his own
home, some of his neighbors will have.

Delegates from inland towns and the
arid west spent bit of time during
the Democratic convention looking over
the "oueer fish" to be found in New
York
New York has lot of "queer fish"
outside those housed down at the
aquarium, but it was the species in
habiting the big tanks in the fish house
down by the Battery that intrigued the
interest of visitors most. The human
sharks and whales of Gotham ran a
poor second.
Attendants at the aquarium estimate
ed that the daily number of. visitors
was doubled by the convention crowds.
Between 1000 and 5000 convention
guests daily, in addition to the normal
1000, crowded in to watch the fish.
The horseish piqued the curiosity of
inland delecaees most, with b1owfsh
running a strong second. Possibly be-
cause they both suggested something
political. The blowfsh looks not unlike

inquired where he could find the dark

And the final blow came when it was
announced that any visitors, whether

not, who were found in any place serv-

New York. = Political spellbinders
for the campaign of 1924 will have to
develop a new style of oratory.
The small-time, second-rate speech
makers that heretofore have been used
to fill in at meetings in the town hall
and the village crossroads will no lon

public thought on the campaign is

The big figures in state and national
politics, who can speak convincingly
and authoritatively, will have vastly
increased audiences and influence.
All this will be due to radio, which
will be utilized by all parties to trans
nit their campaign arguments, ASPIRE

the most remote parts of the country.

for the Kluxers in 20 other states.
While he didn't attempt to get chum-

even call on Pattangall of Maine or
Quigley of Massachusetts, to convert
them to his opinion of the Khan as an
institution, he did browse about bit

wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
: Evans, visiting the convention city
incognito, registering as one of a
party" with friends from Washington,
D. c., was more completely shrouded
from sight during the convention than
he would have been wearing the cap
and gown of his mystic order.
But he kept in close touch with the
proceedings by radio, particularly dur
ing the fight to name the khan speci-
f1cally in the platform denunciation of
organizations fostering religious and
racial hatreds.
Evans, who is a dentis5 and once
pulled teeth down in Texas for liv-
ing, occupied a suite of five rooms at
