        Bzt. And let's try this again. Paul... think carefully. Exactly what
    would they be reading if they could read? Remember... NO MASS MEDIA. Any
    publications would be, more often than not, devoting most of their coverage to
    the local candidate for the president. The very same candidate who would have
    an easy time campaigning in a small geographical location. Well, small by
    today's standards.

        The point was to look outside that small area, the local state, and to
    look at other candidates. Something that the vast majority of people could
    not do even if they were literate. Something, as I stated, that today most of
    them don't do.
