Judge Hughes In his speech of accepance devoted considerable time to telling that labor conditions in this country were deplorable just after Mr. Wilson became president. They were but the fact that they were, was most certainly due to cnoditions inherited from the republican party after sixteen consecutive years of legislation for the trusts and big business and always against that laboring man that they now profess to love so much. The Deutschland, first undersea merchant vessel is on her way back to Germany, having successfully passed the scores of allied vessels watching tor an opportunity to head her off. The boat was escorted by the American tug Timmonds to the three mile limit and the men aboard watched the submarine dip out of sight and start on her long voyage. Just before the U-boat ducked under cover the brave captain and his crew came up on deck and gave three rousing cheers for America and the American people and they will tell a different story to the people of their land when they arrive, about American neutrality, than they have been led to believe existed. Here is what Charles T. Jeffry, one of the great business men of the country says of newspaper advertising: "The newspapers are in a class by themselves. I advertise in them because they are flexible mediums, capable of giving the quickest action. That is, they provide the means for us to concentrate our fences on a certain city or community. They make possible a fine art of advertising strategy. And they get quick action when it comes to sales. ‘The newspaper Is undoubtedly the most personal medium one may use. I mean by that, that they get nearer to the people. The paper is the greatest purveyor of facts in existence. And since advertising is nothing more than one process of conveying facts —attractively arranged—it follows that no advertising campaign is complete without certain newspapers.”
