MEREDITH PLEADS FOR AGRICULTURE; WAEMLY WELCOMED Cabinet Membr and Former President of Advertisers Work Begun by His Deparment Should Go On. TALKING ‘N)THING BUT ADVERTISING’ * An appeal to the dvertising men of the country to assist the department of agriculture iwarrying out the work it has begun was made by Edwin T. Meredith, secetary of that department, in a speech at the general session of the Associatl Advertising Clubs of the World today.

Secretary Meredith, w> is known tot every advertising man I the country for his work when he vs president of the associated clubs, wa heartily greeted by tbe assembled ad’ftising men. Besides having been -esident of the associated clubs, Mr. Miedith is prominent In tbe advertisingworld as publisher of Successful Faring, one of the largest agricultural puflcatlons in the country. EVERYBODY GETS ! FRAGRANT FLOWER. In behalf of V. J. Gorl of the St Louis Advertising club, each onvention delegate was presented wit a sweetly fragrant Cape Jasmine fitter on entering Tomlinson hall. Attached to the flowewas a small picture of Gorly and theprinted request that the Cape Jasmine Is adopted as tbe convention flower. "What could be sweer?” asks Gorly. A pleasing feature if the session, though it came before he time for the session officially to covene, was the singing of Mrs. Charle- Whitten of Atlanta. who is endowedwith a beautiful voice that seems particlariy adapted to the southern songs shesang. Following the readinjof his paper Mr. Meredith was given th;e rousing cheers by the delegates. In opening his speec Secretary Meredith pointed out ‘‘that nbody has a right to come here and talk out anything except advertising.” DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ADVRTISING. Following this tbeor he discussed in detail advertising as t applies to the department of agricultrf. “I do not believe it -ould be an overstatement of the fact to say that the products of the farm, raw or manufactured, make a large; contribution to advertising space that all other industries aDd institutions.’ be said. "I am perfectly wel aware that this is far from the popuar conception of farm advertising. "When most people hink of what the "'•farm contributes to idvertlsing, they make a mental picture of a man with a r few bnsbels of apples b sell, or a load of ;t bay, or a cow and odf, and they see, sC is a result of it.'a fiveline local in some :ip Httle weekly paper. “You carry a great tpal of copy and a t p iot of pretty pictures at streaked bacon— J’asuperior breakfast bacjs from almost as Jojnany plants as are enjaged In the meat'fpacking business. ‘hr “And there are sigar-cured hams, inneat products. ter “There are pickles *d preserves, Jeltir les and jams and bail beans, catsups l.nd sauces, oranges. -lotion and wool eutiothing, even automAile tires, shoes, alicather, sugar, k*~ -What's tbe use—to $o further would sta'-ave you with the lmp+sslon that there ga nothing advertised the products dl6‘hieh com# from the f>fm, and the vlgves tnce committee would be down upon me be I put that in my cipv.” this -iaT THEY’RE POKC. was HIS DEPARTMENT, may r> Meredith then w-nt on to explain in tt the work of tta department ol win -ulture has a direct bearing on the choic- 0 f advertising. r rie declared that through the work r D f e department in developing agriculture the finished pmduct Is made available for sale, ani, therefore, for advertising. In this connection he showed how the development of wheat production mad# .possible macaroni advtrtlaem*nts. how tbe development of better cot >n made automobile tire advertisements possible, how the development ol the orange industry increased the alvertising business, and how tbe byproduct of corncobs’ Increased the advertising business. NOW WHAT T* ADVERTISING DOING? “I have indicated a few things that the department of agriculture is doing for I advertising,” he continued. “What is advertising doing for the department of agriculture? “Tbe department is gstttag a good deal of publicity; much of it Is of the right , kind ; some of it is of th# wrong kind. “The department gets the wrong kind of publicity from those wl)b whom it interferes. “They rush Into print or, complain personally to friends, causing doubt and distrust. ’ Those benefited In many cases do not know or do not realize whence the help comes and in other cases take It for granted and do not tell of it. “If the great mass of people who ere benefited by the work of the department thoroughly understood what they are receiving from it, the complaints of tbe few whose schemes are thwarted by the department would not carry very far. “Adulterators and mlsbranders generally have no use for tHe department. “The great majority of men In Jhe food business commend the work of the department. not only becanse it safeguards the public, but also becanse it insists on correct labeling, thus aiding the honest manufacturer. “All honest men desire to compete fairly In the business upon which they are engaged, and the food regulation work of the department assists them in doing Vt. I ••Without it the unscrupulous man would be frequently able to bring about a bad trade practice that would be generally followed, though the great majority of men In the trade would deplore it. "I merely want to Fay to you gentlemen that it is mighty poor advertising for your government, your country, and yourselves to repeat, no matter how thoughtlessly, complaints of this sort. “Notwithstanding the service which the department of agriculture is rendering to the people of the nation; not(Continued on Page Twelve.)

Hurley Says Advertising Is a Necessity HURLEYISMS Advertising today is a necessity and an asset. Some men still advertise ’ only when they have spare money and never put ont a line when times are dull and they need business. The name of the small merchant today who has foresight and Judgment in the merchandising of his product may be as well "known as John Wanamaker in his particular locality, or even throughout the nation. I know of nothing that so ents ont tbe wastes of distribution as proper advertising. Edward N. Hurley, president of tbe Hurley Machine Company of Chicago, and formerly chairman of the United States shipping board and prior to that chairman of the federal trade commission, discussed the-value of advertising at the general session of the Associated Advertis'ng Clubs of the World at Tom linson hall today. After saying that it had been tls pleasure to address the Associated Ad vertising Clubs before, he added, “but it is a particular pleasure for me to be with you today because of the meeting place. Indianapolis is a thriving and throbbing metropolis, the capital of a great manufacturing state, the merit of whose products are known the world over by forceful advertising’! meeting of VITAL IMPORTANCE. He said that the present meeting Is of vital importance “owing to tbe acute industrial situation which exists in our country and throughout the world.” and added. “You have a responsibility rb to a large part of the future policies in the marketing of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American gA>ds. That is not merely a local, but an intewiafional undertaking that needs*the international point of view. ’lt has been stated that before tbe war, not over one hundred Americans had an international vision. Since the war that number has greatly lncreaaed, but as a whole we are still Inclined to be concerned only with our home affair*. But, gentlemen, the future success of our country depends absolubdy upon men who are thinking Internationally. Those American manufacturers and merchants who are not planning to sell at least 10 per cent of their products to foreign countries, and to carry on advertising j campaigns that will keep American products before the eyes of the world are not doing their parts as Americans. For I otherwise we can not realize the fnllr.ess 1 of American prosperity.” Mr. Hurley saW that “Advertising of a thoroughly sound and scientific kind roust of necessity cut out waste In order to give the most for the money—which is business. I know of nothing I that so cuts out the wastes of distribution as proper advertising, for it tends i reduce the heavy burden of sales exi pense by increasing the efficiency of the salesman.” THE INPORTANCE OF DISTRIBUTION. In speaking of' the importance of knowing the cost of distribution. Mr. Hurley said that a decided improvement has been made by our manufacturers in arriving at true manufacturing costs, and now where a manufacturer sells direct i to the consumer he is generally familiar with his selling costs and this Information is available. “Engineers, scientists and the government, through the cenaua.” he said, : "have accumulated almost unlimited Information on the volume and cost of pro- ! ductlon. Our government takes a com- ! plete census of the manufacturing industries of the country every five years, but we have never had a survey of our Job- ! bers and retailers and their merchandising methods. There are no corresponding statistics on distribution, although it ts twice as important from the stand(Contlnued on Page Three.)

DIGNITY FADES AS LODGE HURLS HIS PHILIPPICS Republican Convention Unites in Showing Spirit of Small Boy and Girl. LIGHT AND NOISE EXCEL By MARLEN E. PEW. COLISEUM, Chicago, June B.—At sight of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, sage of Nahant. large of head and small of body, his frail hands grasping the red silken ropes of the speaker's platform as if he feared the hum and torreut surging be low might whisk him away, a cyclone of sound and brilliant action swept tbe coliseum shortly before noon today, and the first spectacle of the seventeenth republican national convention was enacted before the eyes of 13,500 delegates and influential party men and women. Lodge, who points a long, tapering finger as his natural gesture, struck the formal keynote of this unpreeented republican convention in firm voice, proclaiming that not only did national development hinge upon republican party successes, but- that the party whose legions ires faced him was, in fact, gravely charged to rpdeem American independence in world affairs and restore certalu fundamental principles of the fathers When Lodge spoke of President Wilson and the federal democratic administration, he snap pet) bis words like a whiplash, and- his sentences ran off into sardonic falsetto. Sometimes he was a bitter Lodge, sometimes he was a calm and slow and kindly Lodge. REPUBLICANS AGREE IN LODGE OVATION. The republicans gave him a tremendous ovation. It was a rip roaring, wildly animated O. O. P. national rally—interesting for its full-throated spontaneity, its gayety of color and Its crashing sound. With Lodge, the bitter antagonist 'of the Wilson peace program before them in the flesh, the delegates and the republican hosts here demonstrated unbounded enthusiasm. The deep continuing doubt as to the great secret of this convention, the names and addresses of the party standard bearers for the fall campaign, still held the convention city under Its spell, * but tempnrsrlly this forenoon every j mother s son and daughter under tbe wide roof of the coliseum appeared to cast that anxious speculation aside and find relief in sheer boy and girl yelling. Men and women always seem to go to political conventions somewhat ns American children go to circuses, and there was no exception to that rule here today. Up early, best spring suits and gnu ns on, motor or street car to the ' “big top,” caught In a jamming crowd on South Wabash avenue, “cops" veiling ; “stand back there,” causing no one to budge an Inch, every one all mussed up and perspiring, and finally, whisk—a yawning entrance engulfs them and they hustle for seats, exclaim at the beauty of the flag draped interior ask foolish questions about who's who and what’s what, get the fever to sing or shout. When Chairman Will 11. Hay* of the republican n-tflonal committee, took the lid off they just threw up arms and hats i and squawked and gurgled and had a good tlrno generally. Haya is a little man, like Lodge, hut Lodge ha* all the best of It as regard* whiskers Hays did Ills JJob of railing the big show to order very neatly. Chairman Hay* said: "The republican party ha* met in this ! open and fr#e convention to accept from the American people ft mandate for the government of the United States. “As chairman of your national committee, I report progress. Knur year* ago the nnnul republican majority was wo.oon minus. Two years ago it was 1.200,000 plus. Today I honestly believe j it Is double thst nnmber and in No- | vember it should exceed 3,000,0n0. "In spirit 1 report more than progress, j I report fulfilment. The great party of ' the union has become a unit It shall so continue. There will be no bolt from this convention. “By direction of your national commitI fee I present the name of the Hon.

No one paid much attention to inis formality, except, perhaps a few southern gentlemen, who. as generally reported from Washington, had slushed their way to Chicago and had succeeeded in gefttlng tlieir names very well and disagreeably known.

June 8 -Following the adjournment of the first session of the republican national convention, after the delivery of the keynote speech by Wenator Lodge, republicans turned thetr attention to the organisation of the committees of the convention.

LODGE BRINGS OUT TREND AGAINST ANY LEAGUE COVENANT Johnson Looms as Logical Candidate for Platform That Appeals Most to Republican Delegates. ALL ARE AGAINST PRESIDENT WILSON (By Staff Correspondent.} COLISEUM, Chicago, June B.—Senator Lodge’s keynote speech, hi which he endeavored to define the issues of the day for the republican party, disclosed Senator Hiram Johnson as the most logical candidate for the party if the paryt is to be guided by what Lodge said were the lssuea of the day. There were two most significant features in the keynote speech and its reception. Whenever Lodge condemned the league of nations without any res#Fvations he started a storm of applause that exceeded the response given him on any other subject. Whenever he condemned President Wilson, personally* he started a demonstration. Having been carefully picked because of their willingness to respond, photographed, led in prayer and stirred with martial music, the delegates of the republican national convention today gave first vent unstinted applause when Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in the keynote speech as temporary shouted: “The democrats must be driven from power.” They repeated, almost immediately, when he declared: “President Wilson la un-American.”

With these thoughts predominal lican convention was in full swing. The lrutallation of Senator Lodge ast temporary chairman by Witt H. Hays, national chairman, was accompanied by the usual preliminaries and one not on the program. The elaborate arrangements for Lodge to mount to the rostrum failed at the lost minute and he was conducted to a rear entrance to reach the stage. Haya appointed Chauncey M. Depew of New York. Myron T. Herrick of Ohio and Mrs. J. B. Hume of California to lead Senator Lodge to the platform. The committee threaded its way to the Massachusetts delegation and greeted the veteran statesman in the aisle. Amid a chorua of cheers and bandclapping they worked their way down tbe aisle to the platform. Unahle to open the trapdoor arrangement covering the steps leading directly to the rostrum. Lodge was escorted to the platform by a detour around the press section. Mrs Hume wore a small black turban and black sack coat tailored suit. She wore a white shirtwafat with high cloaed collar. Another huge gust of applanae swept the hall as the senator walked to the front of the platform. An nthuslastic young gymnast dashed out behind him and yelled lustily for "three cheers for Henry Cabot Lodge." They were given with gusto. ' 81/nV RESPONSE TO LODGE'S DENUNCIATION. Lodge talked several minutes before he got his first response from the crowd. He stood about midway down the' way extending toward the crowd from tbe main platform, reading bis speech •low-jy from a manuscript which he held in bis left hand. The audience, back to the rearmost recesses of the coliseum was unusually quiet. There was hardly a cough. A few patters of hand clapping greeted Lodge's first thrusts at the democratic party. "The chief magistrate must understand it is hi* duty to abide by tlTe nation's laws," said Lodge, and the delegates, evidently taking 1t as a thrust at President Wilson, broke into applause. The sporadic flurries of hand clapping were confined at this point almost exclusively to the floor. The galleries were silent. "A democratic free trader of socialistic tendencies.” tbe next description of Wilson given by Lodge, brought a big laugh. There was another 'laugh as Lodge described what he termed President Wilson’s Incompetency and the speaker paused to look over the crowd with a characteristic wrinkling of his brow. There was considerable moving about tbe side aisles at this point. RAIL REFERENCES BRING CHEERS. Delegates in the front rows vigorously applauded Lodge's references to the railroad situation ad there were cries of "right” from far back in the throng when he said the men who run the railroads should not run the government and declared against government ownership. “The experiment (of government ownership) failed' and should not be renewed.” he said. As Lodge reviewed Wilson's Mexican policy, his points were quickly appreciated and furnished cause for much quiet mirth, especially in the New York delegation where former Gov. Whitman, Nicholas Murray Butler and Senator Wadsworth put their head.s together over it. Lodge's appeal for a stronger hand In Mexico brought a short, sharp cheer — one of the most enthusiastic of the speech. “We have watched and waited long enough.” cried Lodge, for the first time raising his voice to a shout and there was a quick yell of approval. “We must have a man who will have a policy and will act," Lodge declared. “The Mexican situation is a shame and a disgrace. We must do our part under the Monro* doctrine.” “Right!” “Good I” “Good" shouted several delegates. A laugh greeted .Lodge's reference to President Wilson's request that the United States take a mandate for Armenia. There was a quick reaction when he recalled how the senate refused the mandate and again there were cries of “Good!" and "Right!" Applause came at frequent Intervals as Lo&ge assailed the Wilson league of nations. Lodge's charge that Wilson went personally to Europe “because he trusted no one else,” was greeted with cheers and laughter. The crowd eagerly followed Lodge’s references to the peace treaty and there was renewed applause at his every period. MOST INTEREST IN TREATY TALK. More interest in treaty features of Lodge’s speech was shown than In what he had previously said were the domestic problems. 1 Prolonged cheering met Lodge’s reference to the defeat of the Wilson treaty without reservations. “Wilson surrendered the principle of freedom of the seaa—whatever that may have £>een —to Great Britain,” said Lodge, and the delegates laughed. “Today the number of Americans willing to accept the covenant as brought back by the president is negligible,” the senator said- “Th* American people will

ing, the first session of the repubr * never approve that alliance with foreign nations,” This was loudly cheered. Lodge's every reference to defeat the Wilson league was “eaten up” by the crowd, which shouted with delight. However, there was an increasing bnz* of conversation in the rear, after Lodge had talked more than an hour. The heat Increased and fans began flattering al over the hall. “Yes, yes,” came the cries, accompanied by “yips" and other forms of shouts, when Lodge said some were determined there should be no league at all. “In 1816 Mr. Wilson won on the ple that be kept us out of war." said Lodge. Away back in the rear gallery there was a lone cheer. Now the senator declared the democratic administration is seeking endorsement on the ground that they have kept us out of pence. Laughter and applause swept the ball. As he asked the delegates to stand by the republican senate in beating the treaty. Lodge was again applauded. Shouts of “we will” came from many quarters.
