 TELEVISION TO PLAY PART IN NEXT CAMP AIGN
 
Democratic Convention Speakers to Be in First
 Broadcast
By C. E. BUTTERFTELD

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Experi- mental television may play it's first part dn a political campaign this year.
 Although nothing definite has been arranged, there is little doubt in the minds of some of the men investigating the possibilities of sight transmission that some of the candidates will speak before the photo-electric cells of the experi- mental picture broadcast stations both in New York and Chicago and probably Washington.
 Then, too, Chicago engineers are going ahead with plans in the hope that they will be enabled to send out views of the political conven- tions there this year.

CTS would be possible. It might be necessary also to include a special studio in the convention hall where the speakers would go to be tele- vised because the technical side of the art may not make sight pickups from the speakers stand practica- ble.

Pal.t of Chicago,s Bid

An indication of this proposal was given in Q telegram read to the Democratic National Committee when it met In Washington to con- slider Chicago's bid for the conven- |tion. The message from Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News. said:
 "As added fnducement to Demo- cratic National Committee to bring convention to Chicago, the daily News television station W9XAP and Western Television corporation offer to provide first broadcast of sight and sound of Democratic con- vention speakers"
 If this is done it will mean that fans owning television reproducers and within the range of W9XAP could take at least a peek at what goes on in the convention.
 In view of the present limitations of experimental televsion, only a head view of the speaker or speak

An outdoor television camera has been designed for use with flood lighting or sun lighting, but whether it would function satisfac- torily in such instances is still to be determined.
 For use in the campaign itself there is little doubt that quite a number of the speakers can be tele- vised.
