This course, en- titled The Political Camnaini. was held on a discussion basis. ' . ' uunng uie aiscussion it was -brought out that the political , campaign begins so far in ad-! vance of the election that it can be said that "It begins the first ' Wednesday morning following the election". Political campaigns are a tre mendous enterprise. Throughout our democracy some 750,000 elected positions are filled. If two people run for each office, this directly involves 1V4 million people running for office. Stand ing behind all these campaigns are other countless millions of people. Speaking of camnaisns. Miss Elliott stated that "this barrage of propaganda didn't just hap pen". Planning in great deDth caused the personal contacts and advertising ; from mass media channels such as television, ra-. dio, newspapers, etc., to adver tising billboards, handbills, etc. In discussing nominations, it was realized that in certain lo cations . nomination by a partic ular party is about the same as election, since the party involved is so sure of election. A campaign organization chart ww yiesciiieu aim piscusseu. it was pointed out that "organiza tion Is tlie key to every success ful political campaign.. Charac teristics of the campaign mana ger, and reasons for such a man-. ager were also discussed.
