'JAZZ «GE GIVES NEW METHOD TO : PICK PRESIDENT By William S. Neal. INS Staff Correspondent Washington —The "jazz age" has 'penetrated into the inner sanctums of political chieftains whose business it j is to elect the next president with the I resit t that brand new methods of political campaigning will be used on I the humble but powerful voter in the j next three months. Gone are the days of the torch- ’ light parade and In the place of old-time tunes have come the snappy i campaign songs which the modern ‘ i youth can strum on the ukelele and banjo. The radio has dealt a hard blow to ' the political spe.l-blnder of little merjit. and both parties will exercise great- '■ er -care in sending speakers before the voters in the hinterland. Must Be Careful Both Herbert Hoover and Gov. Al i Smith may travel far and wide but I both must lie careful to avoid a constant repetition of the same speech, for this constant repetition would be I carried into the ears of voters byway I of the radio and evoke resentment. The old-time buttons, slogans and pictures remain, but in addition ardent party workers ‘now demand stickers for windshields and tags for their automobiles. The "flapper vote” cannot be ignored. and knowing that modern youth may not be fol.owing the family tradition of voting either Republican or Democratic both parties are preparing special appeals to the young men and women of the nation. But while the radio is raised in popular imagination to a high place in the campaign, the campaign chiefs are placing their old reliance in the printed word byway of the newspapers and pamphlets. Newspaper adI vertising will figure prominently in I the campaign for it. the strategists beI lieve, wi l hold the eye longer than a mere radio announcement holds the ' ear. Requests For> Speeches “We have bad just as many requests for copies of speeches by Mr. 1 Hoover as We ever did." said a veteran attache of the Republican national headquarters. "These ate second in interest, it is indicated, only to what Mr. Hoover will say in his speech of acceptance at Palo Alto. Slogan writers are busy. The Republican headquarters has been deluged with suggestions for a winning slogan. ' Perhaps the most discussed to date is that of Sen. George H. Moses, who suggested, 'Hoover ar Havoc" as a counterpart to the “Coolidge or Chaos" slogan of 1924. Strange y enough slogans dealing with the wet issue are few. o S. E. Shamp Attends Nickel Plate Outing S. E. Shamp, veteran station agent for the Nickel Plate railroad in this , city, left this afternoon for Cedar Point on Lake Etie, where he will attend the seventeenth annual outing of Nickel Plate Veterans, Saturday.
