THE GRAMOPHONE
FOR POLITICAL SPEECHES
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
(Received this day at 8 a.m.) LONDON, April 19
Political headquarters have suddenly realised the value of gramophone records for electioneering effects being more permanent than wireless or talkies. The Labour Party first exploited the idea through Ml’ MacDonald in a recording room. He admitted he would rather take part in a duet with Fyffe, the Scottish comedian, than address a microphone upon world peace.
Mr Lloyd George, seized with a fit of nerves, announced he would never record 'again life-long. He would rather face a million electors in the flesh.
Mr Baldwin hearing his rivals had submitted to the ordeal hurried -to follow their example. Sir Jovnson Hicks, Mr Neville Chamberlain, Hon Samuel, Mr Snowden, Mr ihomas and Miss Bondfield also recorded aspects of current politics.
