PRESTO
States will be elected by radio. Allowing a liberal
discount on the enthusiasts' views, it is certain that
radio is figuring and will continue to figure in the
present campaign. And it is clear to everybody con-
nected with radio that the campaign and the big
event in November provide the means to enormous
sales of radio sets. The national conventions, the
notification speeches, the keynote harangues have
been broadcasted and eagerly listened to by voters
everywhere. Every talk has boosted radio sales.
Now every indication points to the increased use
of radio in the campaign and in the final weeks the
air is expected t o ' b e filled with the sounds of the
political conflict to the profit of the radio dealer.
