POLITICS AND THE RADIO

Governor Smith of New York
made clever use % the radio in plac-
ing before the people Of that State
his tax program. Along with many
others he has perceived the ad-
vantage which may be gained by
means of the radio by those who
wish to reach the public's attention.
President Coolidge during tho
campaign made upon many thou
sands Of the voters an impression by
this method such as he might not
have been able to do in any other way.
The country was impressed by the
radio report Of the proceedings Of the
Democratic National Convention, and
that impression contributed very
materially to the overwhelming de-
feat Of that party at the polls.
These appear to be facts which
the astute Governor of New York
has not overlooked. We wonder
whether Congress will wish to have
Its proceedings sent broadcast.
