Boulder Dam and Muscle Shoals
are beginning to take the center Of
the stage in the power trust in

The propaganda against these

partly brought to light in testimony
given to the Federal Trade Com

fore Congress finally passed the

Loads Of Literature
In doing this persuasive influence
was brought to bear upon the Wash.
ington correspondents of Tennessee
newspapers; editors were loaded
with truck loads of material against
Government ownership and opera
ton and promised much lucrative
advertising by the associated COM
panies; more than 1000 lectures
were delivered by paid speakers in
the state.
Boulder Dam was not overlooked.
Tennessee editors had 1t forcefully
brought to their view, especially in
view of the fact that Representative
Finis J. Garrett, of that State, was
ranking minority member of the
House Rules Committee, before
which the Swing.Johnson Boulder

Thu editors were urged to write
to Representative Garrett in oppo.
sition to the bill.
The power propagandists expressed
confidence that they can control the
press o. the Nation. as instanced
in this paragraph from letter in
Newburn's file:
II suppose that you are familiar
with the fact that about three years
ago a canvass was made of more
than 10000 editors over various Sec
tons of the country relative to the
position OF public opinion, regard
ing Government ownership of utili-
ties in competition with private
enterprise. Eighty.six per cent of
the editors who replied said mo- to
the Government ownership idea"
The Importance which Newburn
attached to his Contact" with the
press is shown In the following:
Cali the country editor by his
first name and slap him on the
back. Public speaking Is of second
Importance and contact with the
schools third.
Get the country editors to the
point where they will print and
carry our message, and overlook
all propaganda that goes into their
