Show ORATORY IN THE CAMPAIGN. Oratory as a compelling forco in a political campaign Is duly appreciated appre-ciated by tho party managers, who aro on tho lookout for every resource that will add to their vote-getting power. Tho "spellbinder" who is clover enough to slzo up tho tompor of his audlenco and who knows just what to say to tho ones about him on any and all occasions Is supposed to bo worth all his services cost tho campaign commltteo. As a studont of tho subject has put it, tho most convincing address is ono that has "profundity without obscurity, perspicuity per-spicuity without prolixity, ornament without glaro, tcrsoness without barrenness, bar-renness, comprehension without digression, di-gression, and a great number of other things without a groat number of other things." But a speaker with and without all theso things is a raro specimen. Thoro Is novcr near enough of him to go around. Boston Horald. |
