CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
100 Million Rocea of Literature Sent
Out to Win Votes Special Pamph
lets In German, Swedish, Polish,
DaniBh and Hebrew.
L. A. Cwlld in Altulnf.
It has been said that tho distribution
of literature has come to be about the
most Important feature of a national
committee's work. This phase of cam
paigning has reached truly colossal
proportions. The head of tho literary
bureau of a national committee must
be a man of rare Judgment, of varied
resources nnd of unusual executive
ability. The head of the Republican
literary bureau In 1806 was Perry S.
Heath, now assistant postmaster gen
eral. The head of the Democratic bu
reau wus Daniel McConvllle, of Ohio.
Documents wero sent out from both
headquarters by the ton. The Repuh
llcnn committee distributed over 1G0,
000,000 pieces of "literature." Over 16,
000 packages were si nt by freight or ex
press, and over 130 carloads of printed
matter. In the shipping department
alone 275 peopla were employed. The
distribution by tho Democratic com
mitter was almost equally large.
The work has been reduced to a scl
vnco. Eeuch committee has lists of
voters which ore furnished originally
by tho vnrlous local committees In
states and congressional districts, and
these lists are so arranged that, bo far
an possible, Just the right kind of docu
ment will be sent to each voter, nnd
Just the right kind of argument will
be presented to each mind. The Re
publican and Democratic national com
mittees today each have at Teast 3,000,
000 names on their lists. By far tho
larger proportion of documents pre
sented aro speeches In congress which
go out under congressional franks, thus
reducing Immensely tho expenditure
for postage. Of such great advantage
Is thnt that In the congressional ses
sion immediately preceding a presiden
tial campaign many speeches aro mado
chieliy with a view to their distribu
tion. Entire books have been inserted
In the Congressional Record In this
way. In a recent congress, Tom John
son, the millionaire congressman from
Ohio, printed ns a part of his speech
Henry George's book on "Progress and
Poverty," nnd this was sent out by the
hundreds of thousands under congres
sional franks. Of course, the national
committees have to bear the oxpenso
of paper and printing.
THE LITERARY MILL.
This class of documents Is far from
comprising all that go out. The liter
ary bureau of a national committee Is
a great workshop. The Republican
committee In lb9 employed twenty
seven writers, most of thorn specialists
on the tariff, on currency, and on oth
er topics of a political nature, and
these mon were kept busy at head
quarters constantly preparing tlmoly
material as the occasion might de
mand. Much of this work was sent

CUT THIS OUT You may not see this price list again, so you'd better cut It out
for reference. This great sale lasts all this week at
FLOREY & BROOKS'
out through the newspapers, and three
or four columns of matter for this pur
pose were prepared every day. State
ments, cards, explanations, Interviews
wero distributed to the press In the
guiFe of news. One of the rooms at
headquarters was lined with books of
reference, and two or three men were
kept busy nil the timo responding to
telegrams from all over tho country
asking for Information on all sorts of
questions. A speaker assigned to talk
In n given town would pick up the
local opposition paper on his arrival
and find a statement about the tariff
or about the currency which ho
though ho ought to refer to on the
platform that night. Ho would tele
graph promptly to headquarters for
exact Information, nnd within an hour
or two he would receive a reply telling
him exactly how he could meet the
point which had been raised. Similar
Inquiries would come dally from edi
tors of newspapers in remote districts
which lacked reference facilities of
their own. The press Dureau wns n
highly Important adjunct to the liter
ary department. Over 12,000 newspa
pers were furnished with plate matter,
patent insides and occasional editor
ials. Bulletins were sent dally by tele
graph at the expense of the commltteo
to one hundred morning newspapers
and to one hundred nnd fifty nfter
noon prints. These bulletins ranged
nil the way from one hundred to three
hundred words In length. y
There wero special departments for
almost every conceivable class of pop
ulation. Men were kept busy prepar
ing documents In German. Swedish,
Danish, Polish and Iobrew, which
were to be sent to localities where any
ono of these Innguages happened to
prevail. There was a colored bureau
which had charge of all questions re
lating to the colored vote, sending out
literature to convince the negro that
his Interests lay In continuing to sup
port tho Republican party. There was
a woman' bureau under the charga of
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, who had fifteen
women In her department preparing
for distribution literature calculated to
affect favorably tho feminine mind.
For It Is recognized by politicians that,
nlthough there aro few states where
women are allowed to vote, there Is
not one In which they do not exercise
a great and sometimes decisive Influ
ence upon tho ballot. There were de
partments to look after commercial
travelers, bicycles, savings Institutions
and llfo Insurnnco companies.
TILDEN BEGAN IT.
Campaign Literature Started in Hio
Canvas.
Alaslcc's Maraitno.
The election of 1SS3 was tho first na
tional election In which the distribution
of what is known ns "campaign liter
ature" played a pnrt of the first Im
portance. Before that the greatest at-'
tsntlon had b"en paid to tho work of
campaign orators nnd to thp distribu
tion of money In doubtful states,
through state committees, to perfect or
ganization nnd bring voters to tho
polls, When Samuel J. Tllden ran for
president In 1S7C his 'literary bureau'
was a subject of ridicule among the
older politicians, who looked upon it
ns a new and Quixotic scheme. But
the literary bureau has now become tho
moRt Important adjunct of every Na
tional committee. In 1S90 the Bepub
llcan National committee expended
JMO'000 for printing alone, and tho
greater portion of the money raised by
tho Democratic commltteo was used In
the same way. But this was only
carrying out on an even larger scalo
the work which played an Important
part In tho election of 1SSS and 1892.
