What Others Thinkofthe Prima
"The Democratic nominee for Governoi - says the
nomination cost him about $33,000. . . . Nomina
tions should not be purchasable."—The Philadelphia
Public Ledgei.
"The $33,000 which Vance P. McCormick spent in his
campaign for the Democratic nomination is entirely too
much for any man to spend, even though he be a man
of wealth."—Philarielpnia Bulletin.
"One Democratic vote equals thirty cents. That's the
price the urbane Vance McCormick paid for each of
his 110,000 votes." —Girard, in the Ledger.
"Vance C. McCormick, whose statement of election
expenses confesses to $33,274 as the cost of making him
"the people's choice" for Governor at the Democratic
primary, and also makes mention of a trifling $5,000
contribution from his sister for the same unselfish and
patriotic purpose, lectured the Republican administra
tion on its extravagance yesterday. In one of his typi
cal "rough house" speeches to the Democratic' State
committee he outlined his plans for getting the State
out of the poorhouse when (if) he becomes governor."

HIS PLATFORM
"They do show, however, some of the enormous out
lays which the primary system has imposed upon can
didates. When a candidate for governor admits an ex
penditure of $33,000, and when it is known that much
more was actually spent by some one in. his behalf the
evil becomes manifest, for these outlays were for the
primary campaign alone; the nominees have a still more
costly campaign before them." —Public Ledger.
"Mr. McCormick—millionaire—deems himself com
petent to run the State on economical methods. Why,
hasn't he just given us all an object lesson in rigid
economy? To be sure he has. He wanted the nomin
ation at the Democratic primaries. He told the people
so. He went before them and talked to them and urged
his competency upon them. All that he personally
spent out of his ample fortune to Induce a goodly at
tendance of them at the polls was $33,000!" Philadel

"Under the new primary law it is harder for a poor
man to enter the portals of office than a rich man the

Business Is As Good.
As We Make It
J The head of a great national
Industry a veritable livo wire
remarked recently that he
could have a panic in his busi
ness any time ho wanted it.
All he bad to do was to let
up driving and begin to talk hard
times.
Hut Instead of doing this, he
increases his advertising when
things look squally and drives
his salesmen harder.
I And good times or bad, there
I has never been a year that his
business has failed to go ahead
i and yield a handsome profit.
This man incidentally practi
cally does all his advertising in
the local newspapers, figuring
wisely that by making sales for
the distributors of Ills goods, he
is paving the way for his own
i salesmen to get more orders.
The Bureau of Advertising,
American Newspaper Publishers
Association, is working to help
builders of business build better.
