PENROSE. |
Philadelphia, March 9.—The Phila-
delphia *‘Public Ledger’’ yesterday,
in noting the meeting of the Retail
Liquor Dealer’s Association of this
city and its endorsement of United
States Senator Bois Penrose for re-
election, said:
Liquor interests in Philadelphia
have already pledged 52,000 votes for
Senator Perose when his name appears
on the ballot at the May primaries.
This aunouncement was made follow-
ing a meeting of the Retail Liquor
Dealers’ Association of Philadelphia
held in Lu Lu Temple to organize the
saloon men on political lines for the
coming primary campaign.
The meeting was héld on Friday
morning and 850 membérs of the as-
sociation were present. The principal
address was made by George W. Boyd
the State organizer of the saloom men,
who came from Harrisburg for the
purpose.
SALOONS FACING A FIGHT.
It was shown that the saloons are
facing, what the wholesale association
described in their annunal report re-
cently issued. the greatest fight ever
waged on liquor in this State
" The saloon men were told that their
only fighting chance laytin organizing
into a political body for vote getting
purposes. It was decided to perfect
State-wide organizations in every
State senatorial district.
The saloon men were instructed not
to ally themselves with any political
party. Paruy lines were to be disre-
garded wherever 3. chance developed
to help a legislative candidate who
would if elected, oppose Local Option
legislation.
PARTY LINES IGNORED.
Stand by and vote for the friend of
liquor regardless of his'pclitical desig-
nation, is to be the slogan of the sa-
loon men. Republican members of
the asssociation were called upon to
vote for aDemocrat if the latter would
serve the liquor interests more effec-
tually than a Republican candidate.
And the Democratic members were
admonished on similar lines.
The meeting in every respect was a
It was described by
Neil Bonner, the president of the as-
association, who presided, as a ‘‘get
together meeting.”’

By HOLLAND,
HE. man who prepares
copy for a printer, wheth-
er it is a reading notice or an
advertisement, should re-
member a- few essentials.
Typewriter copy is better
than that made with a pen
or pencil. But if you must
as possible, Do. not crowd i
your words together. Leave
plenty of space at the top
and bottom of the page and
between lines. Paper is
cheaper than a man's time
deciphering illegible writing.
WRITE ONLY ON ONE *
SIDE OF THE PAPER, and
if you use more thane one
sheet number the pages. Re-
member that some man must
read what you are writing
and that he dees not know
what you mean to say and
must be guided by what you
do say. Write your copy as
plainly as you would like to
have the other man write it
if you had to. put it in type.
Designate the lines that you
want displayed and do not
expect extra large 1yPe in a
small space.
The editor of this paper
knows something about ad-
vertising and a good deal
use a pencil write as plainly '
about the typographical art.
He will be glad to have you
consult him about preparing
your copy. The advice he
offers will be free and hon-
est. And you don’t need to
follow it unless it seems |
sound to you.
