Wheeler Describes Campaign Publicity
A frank and personal recital of experiences as publicity chairman for the Republican party in last fall's gubernatorial campaign was given by C. W. Wheeler before journalism, political science, and sociology students yesterday afternoon in Fraser hall. Mr. Wheeler, who is president of the Kansas Press Association and business manager of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle spoke under the*
sponsorship of the department of journalism.
Mr. Wheeler revealed that his biggest single source of difficulty came from class and special interest publications which wanted to sell their editorial influence for sums of money ranging up to $2,000.
Describing himself as a "country newspaperman," Mr. Wheeler outlined the working of committees which assisted Governor Schoenopel in composing his speeches and releasing them to newspapers. He estimated that it takes a minimum of $25,000 for general publicity purposes to elect a governor in Kansas.
Speaking before journalism students later in the afternoon, Mr. Wheeler discussed war-time effects of the business side of small weekly and daily newspapers. Restrictions on paper, decrease in advertising revenues, and loss of manpower were cited as the major effects so far.
Free Publicity Hard To Get
Advertising of cigarettes, automobiles, farm machinery, household appliances, and similar goods has fallen more than 60 per cent, he asserted. Classified advertising has increased slightly, he said.
Theta Sigma Sponsors Dinner
Last evening Mr. Wheeler was guest of honor at a dinner at the Colonial Tea room. He spoke on the organization and functions of the Kansas Press association of which the University Daily Kansan is a member newspaper.
The dinner was sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, journalism sorority, and was attended by faculty members and students of the department of journalism. Mr. Wheeler was introduced by Virginia Tienan, president of the sorority.
SPENCER TO BE----
