REPUBLICANS START BIG AUTO-RADIO CAMPAIGN
* An army of taxicabs saved Paris in 1914. An army of radio-equipped automobiles may save the Republican party at the November elections, if the plans of the Radio Division of the Republican National Committee are carried out.
Announcing that "nearly 5,000,000 automobiles in the U. S. are radioequipped" (We put it nearer 4,000,000 — Editor) the GOP Radio Division proposes to use such auto-radios for "a Republican Rally on Every Street Corner."
Quoting placards exhibited at the Cleveland convention : "Help us organize motor squads in your community. These radio-equipped autos can help local political leaders to get people to register, get people to vote, distribute campaign literature, put color and life into political parades, and increase attendance at political meetings. Get word to all owners of radio-equipped autos to listen to all broadcasts."
Groups to be particularly reached by auto-radio are factory-workers at noon-hours, by-standers at popular street-corners, family parties on picnics, and young people parked on sequestered country roads. "Don't forget the youth of America. They must be reached !"
"Radio captains" are being appointed to stimulate listening.
