I 7 wm'm mm l CAMPAIGN TECHNIQUES TN Mark Hanha's day the methods used in conducting a presidential campaign were simple compared to the complexities of present campaigns. To put McKinley in the White House was but a part-timjob for that master of politics. He could, and did, buy votes with promises.

In those Mark Hanna days there were few different speeches, but many copies of each. Each spellbinder was provided with a half dozen, to be delivered to the type Df audience they would fit. The promises of farm commodity increases would be delivered to a farm audience; a wage increase promise to a group of workers. The audiences were small and only those immediately in front of the speaker knew what he said. The tame speech could be delivered at the next stop. Hanna placed his Republican candidate on the front porch of the McKinley home at Canton, Ohio, armed him with a half dozen ipeeches which would fit any group that called, and invited all America to visit the great man. Many called. As each group approached the front gate the appropriate speech of welcome was laid out. tt contained the candidate's promises for their class. He talked only to the little group in front of him. Others of their class would hear the same speech, be thrilled by the lame promises, but no group of any other class would hear that ipeech or know of the promises made to the other class. In Mark Hanna's day it was all as simple as that. But they did not know the political campaigning advantages or disadvantages of radio as a medium for the distribution of campaign material. Today the candidate must have a different speech for each occasion; today' he cannot buy votes by offering conflicting promises; today radio carries everything the candidate says to the people of every class and to He every point in the nation. talks to many millions rather than a few hundreds. And radio has added millions of dollars to the cost of conducting a campaign. Radio has done one other thing to political With the campaigns. possibilities of buying votes with conflicting promises eliminated, the candidate and his oratorical supporters have little of a really definite nature to offer. Until election day we must listen to banal double-talgeneralities that mean nothing and to vituperative denunciations of the other fellow, neither of which will change many votes.

That ridicule cost Visscher his as a Kentticklan, of standing which he was especially proud, and the Republicans lost the state which they had hopes of tarrying. - Start figuring election returns b counting several million votes cas government pnyrolW by fcdf-ra- l The real friend doe nut keep bonks, fie does not attempt to Kinancsses oestowea ana inose received.

Democratic rumpus will come off from July 12 to 17. which will be held there. His few remaining "disciples" refused to reveal the cause of death or the place of burial. , Sandford was a graduate of Bates college, where he starred in baseball. He refused offers to go into ' i the major leagues. 'fx he was ordained in the Later Baptist ministry. While holding a pastorate in New Hampshire in 1896, he said he received "a call to go out and live like Christ." t With three pennies and a wheelbarrow, Sanford started to build Shiloh temple in Durham. The temple roof was said to contain gold from watches and teeth of men and women from all parts of sp TaSe..'! the country who joined the cult. It became a three million dollar organization. Ill luck pursued Sandford in subsequent years. M ?iV The first setback was the death of his son, John, reportedly as the result of fasting. Sanford was acquitted of responsibility for John's death.

Legislators in California have suggested that water from the Pacific ocean might be used to prevent future droughts. In Bakersfield, Harry Armenta and S. C. Darrah are working on the same problem. They have visions of distilling ocean water for irrigation by use of the sun's rays. They are the inventors of the solar flash boiler. The solar flash boiler uses no fuel except the heat from the sun. It consists of curved aluminum troughs, which trap the sunlight and reflect the rays into a copper tube containing water. Smoked previous to installation with a blow torch the copper tube holds the heat. It is then surrounded with pyrex tubes which provide further insulation. The aluminum troughs, Darrah said, can be fitted with timing machinery, which will keep them slanted toward the sun. The two experimenters claim to have tested successfully a small scale model of their sun machine. The model, thty reported, built up 100 pounds of steam pressure under a moderate afternoon sun.
