 THE FOUR MINUTE MEN 
 
 The Four Minute Men were a nation-wide organiza- 
 tion of public speakers under Government control dur- 
 ing the period of America's participation in the World 
 War. 
 
 Although the idea and early plans for the Four Min- 
 ute Men originated in Chicago in the early part of 
 April, 1917, the work officially became a division of 
 the Committee on Public Information, on June 16, 1917, 
 when the national headquarters were removed to Wash- 
 ington. The national organization and all its branches 
 ended official existence on December 24, 1918. 
 
 Between these dates the Four Minute Men of Amer- 
 ica, numbering about 75,000 speakers, throughout 37 
 speaking campaigns, delivered over 750,000 speeches 
 to audiences totalling 315,000,000 persons. The 
 speeches were delivered almost exclusively in the motion 
 picture theatres of the country during "four minute" 
 intermissions. The work was organized in 7,448 cities 
 and towns, including every State in the Union. 
 
 The part of the work done by the Four Minute Men 
 of Chicago is the subject and scope of the following 
 pages.
 
 THE FOUR MINUTE MEN 
 OF CHICAGO 
 
 TO CHICAGO belongs the honor of originating 
 the plan for the nation-wide organization of 
 public speakers known as the Four Minute Men. 
 To Chicago also fell the task of working out many of 
 the details of local organization which afterwards became 
 a part of the standard plan for other centers throughout 
 the country. 
 
 This history of the Chicago branch of the Four Min- 
 ute Men is written in part as a souvenir for those who 
 were privileged to take part in the work, and in part 
 as a permanent record of a typical unit of a great 
 national organization that attained for itself a place in 
 the history of the United States and its part in the great 
 war. 
 
 I. EARLY DAYS. 
 
 The first period of the History of the Four Minute 
 Men extends from the inception of the idea in Chicago 
 until the establishment of national headquarters in 
 Washington. 
 
 To Donald Ryerson, of Chicago, belongs the un- 
 disputed title of Originator of the Four Minute Men. 
 He was the first to see the tremendous possibilities of 
 a national organization of public speakers for patriotic 
 service, the first to make an experimental four-minute 
 speech in a motion picture theatre, and the first to assume 
 
 9
 
 the burden of establishing such an organization as an 
 instrument of the Government for war time service. 
 
 Although the formal declaration of a state of war 
 with Germany was not made until April 6, 1917, when 
 Congress met in extraordinary session, it was an almost 
 universally accepted opinion for some time prior to that 
 date that war was inevitable. Diplomatic relations with 
 Germany had been severed on February 3rd, and the 
 situation was hourly growing more tense. During 
 this state of the public mind the urgent need for more 
 adequate military preparedness was the one uppermost 
 subject of thought and conversation. 
 
 The latter part of March, with war coming as a moral 
 certainty, found every patriotic citizen eager to see his 
 personal line of duty, and his opportunity for service 
 to the country. The Chamberlain bill for universal 
 military training, which had been left pending when 
 Congress adjourned on March 4th, was then in high 
 favor and seemed at that time to represent the best 
 judgment of the nation. 
 
 The imperative need of arousing the public to an 
 appreciation of the tremendous problems involved in 
 preparing for war was evident. A group of Chicago 
 men at the Saddle & Cycle Club were engaged in an 
 informal after-dinner discussion of the war prospect 
 and the Chamberlain bill, when the importance of de- 
 veloping public sentiment in favor of the Chamberlain 
 bill became the topic. This discussion brought out the 
 idea of making brief speeches to this effect before picture 
 audiences. 
 
 One of the men was Donald M. Ryerson, to whom 
 the idea appealed with special force. Another was 
 Senator Medill McCormick, who strongly endorsed the 
 idea and did much to strengthen Mr. Ryerson's deter- 
 mination to make it his work to bring the plan into 
 
 10
 
 reality. Another with whom the idea was discussed that 
 evening was William McCormick Blair, who promised 
 his support, and who afterwards succeeded Mr. Ryer- 
 son as national director of the organization. Another 
 was Arthur G. Cable, later decorated for service over- 
 seas, who gave Mr. Ryerson his immediate and practical 
 assistance in getting the work started. 
 
 The first form the idea took was that of constituting 
 a patriotic committee to send speakers to motion picture 
 theatres to urge upon the public an appreciation of the 
 importance of military preparedness as then provided 
 in the Chamberlain bill for universal military training. 
 
 When it was found that four minutes was the limit 
 of available time for speaking during the intermission 
 in most motion picture theatres, the name "Four Minute 
 Men" was adopted, carrying with it also a reminder of 
 the patriotic spirit of the "Minute Men" of the Revolu- 
 tionary War. 
 
 Mr. Ryerson's first move was to seek the advice and 
 endorsement of representative citizens. When he was 
 assured by all with whom he consulted that the idea was 
 sound, he made arrangements with the Strand Theatre 
 of Chicago, for permission to make a trial four-minute 
 speech. This was done on the evening of March 31, 
 1917. 
 
 On April 2, Mr. Ryerson invited a group of men to 
 meet for luncheon at the University Club, where he out- 
 lined the need and opportunity for patriotic service, and 
 the idea of the Four Minute Men. The meeting ended 
 with a plan of organization agreed upon, with the fol- 
 lowing officers : Donald M. Ryerson, President ; Stephen 
 Gardner, Treasurer; George R. Jones, Secretary; Keith 
 J. Evans, Assistant Secretary. A call for volunteer 
 speakers was issued, and some of those present were 
 enrolled for the work. A temporary office was estab- 
 
 11
 
 lished at the University Club, luncheon meetings were 
 held almost daily, and a committee was appointed to 
 arrange a schedule of four minute talks at motion pic- 
 ture theatres. 
 
 After a number of speeches had been made by the 
 Four Minute Men on behalf of the Chamberlain bill, 
 and after war had been declared, it became evident that 
 the Chamberlain bill, which did not meet the war time 
 emergency, was to be dropped, and another bill put for- 
 ward, known as the "Universal Selective Service," and 
 afterwards popularly known as the "Draft." 
 
 This made it necessary to change the plan of the Four 
 Minute Men. The nation was now at war, the leader- 
 ship of the President under the war-time powers granted 
 by the Constitution was undisputable, and the need of 
 acting only with the approval of the Government became 
 a matter of course. It was plain that all further talk 
 on the Chamberlain bill would be out of order ; and until 
 Congress had enacted a law or the President had out- 
 lined a policy for civilian activity, it could not be known 
 whether the Four Minute Men were helping or hinder- 
 ing the plans of the Government. 
 
 A meeting of the Four Minute Men was called on 
 April 9th, and the situation laid before them. It was 
 the sense of the meeting that Mr. Ryerson should go 
 to Washington and lay before the Government his plan 
 for a nation-wide organization of public speakers under 
 some form of Government control. Accordingly Mr. 
 Ryerson went immediately to Washington to see what 
 could be done. 
 
 On April 14, President Wilson had created the Com- 
 mittee on Public Information, and it at once became 
 apparent that if the Four Minute Men were to obtain 
 a standing as an agency of the Government it must be 
 as a division of this Committee. Mr. Ryerson inter- 
 is
 
 viewed George Creel, the newly appointed chairman of 
 the Committee on Public Information, who in turn 
 secured for the plan the approval of the President, and 
 on April 20 Mr. Ryerson telegraphed to his associates 
 in Chicago that he had written arrangements with Mr. 
 Creel which placed the Four Minute Men on an official 
 basis as a division of the Committee on Public Infor- 
 mation. 
 
 The control of the organization at first remained 
 vested in the original committee in Chicago. The first 
 subject, "Universal Selective Service," together with 
 typical arguments to be advanced by speakers, were 
 approved in Washington by Mr. Creel before being 
 released to the speakers. It was soon found, however, 
 that the national headquarters for the work must be 
 established in Washington. This was done on June 16. 
 At that time Mr. Ryerson, who had previously received 
 a commission in the Navy, and who had secured a two 
 months' leave in order to establish the work of the Four 
 Minute Men, relinquished control of the organization. 
 William McCormick Blair, of Chicago, was then ap- 
 pointed National Director of Four Minute Men and 
 took up his residence in Washington. The responsi- 
 bilities of national leadership, although still vested in 
 Chicago men, thus passed to Washington, and Chicago 
 thereafter took its rank as one of the local units of the 
 national organization. 
 
 The subsequent history of the Four Minute Men of 
 Chicago is that of a unit acting under the general direc- 
 tion of the national headquarters at Washington, as a 
 division of the Committee on Public Information. 
 
 II. THE PERIOD OF SERVICE 
 
 The second period of the history of the Four Minute 
 Men of Chicago dates from the reorganization on June 
 
 13
 
 16, 1917, to the conclusion of the work on December 
 24, 1918. 
 
 The Chicago members were organized into a local 
 unit, and George R. Jones was appointed Chicago 
 Chairman by the National Director. In him was vested 
 all authority and responsibility so far as relations with 
 the national organization were concerned. This was in 
 accordance with the standard plan of the national organ- 
 ization, each local chairman receiving an official appoint- 
 ment which carried with it the complete authority neces- 
 sary to the conduct of the work. 
 
 The plan of local organization worked out in Chicago 
 included much that was afterwards adopted by the na- 
 tional organization as the standard plan for all local 
 chairmen to follow, and also many features that re- 
 mained peculiar to Chicago. The authority vested in 
 the Chicago Chairman was delegated by him to com- 
 mittees covering every branch of the work, and the chair- 
 men of all committees together constituted the Chicago 
 Governing Committee. All matters of policy affecting 
 the work were discussed and voted upon by the Com- 
 mittee, although the power of veto necessarily remained 
 with the chairman in order to fulfill his personal respon- 
 sibilities to the Government. This plan gave at once the 
 advantages of centralized and unquestioned authority 
 and the wisdom and interest of a large board. 
 
 One of the necessities of the work was that each local 
 unit should be financed by local contributions, prefer- 
 ably from a few patriotic persons able to give gen- 
 erously rather than by appeal to the public. In view of 
 this plan it was a matter of great service to the Four 
 Minute Men of Chicago that Samuel Insull, afterwards 
 Chairman of the Illinois State Council of Defense, gave 
 the use of offices and equipment in the Edison building 
 
 14
 
 and later secured for the work the support of the State 
 Council of Defense. 
 
 The Monday luncheon meetings, which began with 
 the inception of the work in Chicago, continued through- 
 out the entire period to be the center and inspiration for 
 Four Minute Men, and was largely adopted in other 
 local organizations throughout the country. 
 
 These luncheon meetings were held at first at the 
 Grand Pacific Hotel but later and for the remainder 
 of the period at the Morrison Hotel. The program 
 usually consisted of one or more addresses by speakers 
 of note, always on some topic of interest in connection 
 with the war. Open meetings were also held upon 
 occasion, giving any member an opportunity to raise any 
 topic, and also giving all an opportunity to hear repre- 
 sentative four minute speeches then being delivered by 
 some of their fellow speakers. 
 
 The various committees met as occasion demanded, 
 and called for a great amount of hard work and pat- 
 riotic sacrifice of time. These committees were : 
 
 Chicago Governing Committee. Composed of the chairmen of all 
 other committees. Advised on all matters of policy. 
 
 Admissions Committee. Passed on the qualifications of applicants 
 for membership. 
 
 Assignment Committee. Arranged the schedule for speakers and 
 theatres. 
 
 Speaking Committee. Visited theatres and reported on the work 
 of individual speakers. 
 
 Speakers Conference Committee. Assisted individual speakers in 
 perfecting their work. 
 
 Theatre Committee. Arranged for the co-operation of the theatres. 
 
 Program Committee. Arranged the programs for the Monday 
 luncheons and other meetings. 
 
 Publicity Committee. Represented the organization in its rela- 
 tions with the press. 
 
 Liberty Loan Theatre Committee. Arranged for speaking in regu- 
 lar theatres during the Liberty Loan drives. 
 
 Committee Representing Regular Theatres. Advisory. 
 
 15
 
 Committee Representing Motion Picture Industry. Adrisory. 
 
 Public School Committee. Arranged for speaking at public 
 schools. 
 
 Public Parks Committee. Arranged for speaking in parks during 
 the summer. 
 
 Amusement Parks Committee. Arranged for speaking in amuse- 
 ment parks during the summer. 
 
 Church Section. Arranged with ministers to use the official bulle- 
 tins for patriotic talks to their congregations. 
 
 Convention Section. Arranged for speaking at various conven- 
 tions being held in Chicago. 
 
 Fraternal Section. Arranged for speaking in various secret so- 
 cieties and fraternal meetings. 
 
 Labor Union Section. Arranged for speaking at labor union meet- 
 ings. 
 
 Wabash Avenue Section. Arranged for speaking by colored men 
 to colored audiences. 
 
 For the first year after the work began in Chicago 
 George R. Jones was Chicago Chairman and also State 
 Director for Illinois. But the work of organizing the 
 435 towns in the State so often required his absence from 
 the city and made such demands on his time that Mr. 
 Jones finally relinquished the active supervision of the 
 Chicago branch, although continuing to serve as a mem- 
 ber of the Governing Committee. He was succeeded by 
 Ernest Palmer, who was appointed Chicago Chairman 
 on March 25, 1918. Throughout the remainder of the 
 war period Mr. Palmer was the conspicuous and dom- 
 inant figure of the organization, and the work in Chicago 
 owed much of its spirit and success to his exceptional 
 ability and unfailing geniality. 
 
 The topics for speaking were governed by Bulletins 
 sent out from national headquarters fixing the period 
 of their use and providing a budget of facts and typical 
 arguments to assist speakers in preparing their speeches. 
 Thirty-seven of these bulletins were issued, each usually 
 representing a new subject, although some subjects re- 
 quired two or more bulletins. These bulletins were

 At the final luncheon of the Chicago Four Hinute 
 lien, held at the Korriaon Hotel on L'onday, the Sixteenth 
 Day of Decenber, Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen, a resolu- 
 tion was unanimously adopted instructing the undersigned 
 committee to record in permanent form the appreciation of 
 the Pour Minute Men of Chicago for the splendid work done 
 by you as their Chairman. 
 
 Upon its entrance into the grt war our country 
 was confronted with the problem of combating the insidious 
 propaganda with which Germany was then attempting to poison 
 our sources of information and communication. You were 
 called upon to take charge, as Chairman, of one of the most 
 important units of a national organization whose responsib- 
 ility it was to nullify the enemy's propaganda and keep the 
 people of American informed of the ideals of our country in 
 the war and morally pledged to its prosecution to success- 
 ful issue. 
 
 You have performed the duties of your office with 
 untiring efforts and unselfish devotion. Through your per- 
 sonality, your ability as presiding officer, and your sound 
 judgment in executive natters, you have kept high the ideals 
 of the Four Minute Men and brought the organization into 
 great repute in and beyond the community. Through you the 
 work of the Four Minute Men in Chicago has been crowned with 
 success. 
 
 Therefore the Four Minute Hen of Chicago express 
 to you their appreciation of your remarkably successful work 
 as Chicago Chairman; their esteem and affectionate regard 
 for you; their regret that with the termination of the ac- 
 tivities of the Four I_inute Hen the association which they 
 have had with you must cease; their hope that the future 
 may offer many opportunities for other pleasant relations 
 with you; and their wish that the years to come may hold 
 for you happy memories of the Four Minute Ken.

 PERMANENT ORGANIZATION 
 
 A Resolution was passed at the Victory Dinner, at 
 Hotel LaSalle, November 22, 1918, providing for a 
 permanent organization of the Four Minute Men of 
 Chicago as an honorary body to perpetuate the friend- 
 ships formed during the period of service. The incum- 
 bent officers were chosen to continue the organization, to 
 which were specially added the names of Donald M. 
 Ryerson, William McCormick Blair, and George R. 
 Jones. The Chicago Governing Committee, with 
 Ernest Palmer, Chairman, accepted their further re- 
 sponsibilities under the resolution, and elected to their 
 number those who in the past had served as members 
 of this committee. It was the sentiment of the members 
 present at the Victory Dinner that an annual reunion 
 dinner should be provided for, the matter being left in 
 the hands of the Governing Committee.

 PRESIDENT WILSON'S LETTERS TO 
 THE FOUR MINUTE MEN. 
 
 I. 
 
 The White House 
 Washington, November 9, 1917. 
 
 To the Fifteen Thousand Four-Minute Men of the 
 United States: 
 
 May I not express my very real interest in the vigor- 
 ous and intelligent work your organization is doing in 
 connection with the Committee on Public Information? 
 It is surely a matter worthy of sincere appreciation that 
 a body of thoughtful citizens, with the hearty coopera- 
 tion of the managers of moving picture theatres, are 
 engaged in the presentation and discussion of the pur- 
 poses and measures of these critical days. 
 
 Men and nations are at their worst or at their best in 
 any great struggle. The spoken word may light the 
 fires of passion and unreason or it may inspire to highest 
 action and noblest sacrifice a nation of freemen. Upon 
 you Four-Minute Men, who are charged with a special 
 duty and enjoy a special privilege in the command of 
 your audiences, will rest in a considerable degree, the 
 task of arousing and informing the great body of our 
 people so that when the record of these days is complete 
 we shall read page for page with the deeds of army and 
 navy the story of the unity, the spirit of sacrifice, the 
 unceasing labors, the high courage of the men and women 
 at home who hold unbroken the inner lines. My best 
 wishes and continuing interest are with you in your work 
 as part of the reserve officer corps in a nation thrice 
 armed because through your efforts it knows better the 
 justice of its cause and the value of what it defends. 
 
 Cordially and sincerely yours, 
 
 WOODROW WILSON.

 II. 
 
 The White House 
 Washington, November 20, 1918. 
 
 To All the Four Minute Men of the Committee on 
 
 Public Information: 
 
 I have read with real interest the report of your activi- 
 ties, and I wish to express my sincere appreciation of 
 the value to the Government of your effective and in- 
 spiring efforts. It is a remarkable record of patriotic 
 accomplishment that an organization of seventy-five 
 thousand speakers should have carried on so extensive a 
 work at a cost to the Government of little more than one 
 hundred thousand dollars for the eighteen-month period 
 less than one dollar yearly on an individual basis. 
 Each member of your organization, in receiving honor- 
 able discharge from the service, may justly feel a glow 
 of proper pride in the part that he has played in holding 
 fast the inner lines. May I say that I, personally, have 
 always taken the deepest and most sympathetic interest 
 in your work, and have noted, from time to time, the 
 excellent results you have procured for the various De- 
 partments of the Government. Now that this work has 
 come to its conclusion and the name of the Four Minute 
 Men (which I venture to hope will not be used hence- 
 forth by any similar organization) has become a part of 
 the history of the great war, I would not willingly omit 
 my heartfelt testimony to its great value to the country, 
 and indeed to civilization as a whole, during our period of 
 national trial and triumph. I shall always keep in mem- 
 ory the patriotic cooperation and assistance accorded me 
 throughout this period and shall remain deeply and 
 sincerely grateful to all who, like yourselves, have aided 
 so nobly in the achievement of our aims. 
 
 Cordially and sincerely yours, 
 
 WOODROW WILSON.

 Far Country, green with pastures. My message reached Abraham. 
 He led his tribe forth and founded a great people Israel. 
 
 Again, I was a Nomad Slave. I returned to my people, groaning 
 under the fetters of Pharaoh, and told of a beautiful land beyond the 
 desert. My tidings came to the ears of Moses and he led his Chosen 
 People to the Promised Land. 
 
 Again, I was a Wandering Monk. To the High and Low, I 
 brought the tale of the Holy Land, suffering under Moslem oppres- 
 sion. My appeal inspired the Great Crusade. 
 
 Again, I was a Wayfaring Mariner, spreading strange rumors of 
 unknown lands, beyond the seas. Columbus heard my message 
 set sail and discovered a New World. 
 
 Thus it is, that the destinies of Humanity have been swayed and 
 directed by the SPOKEN WORD. 
 
 Today, my appeal is more compelling more potent more uni- 
 versal than ever. 
 
 I am a Stoker for the Great Melting Pot. In four minutes, I 
 breathe the flame of true American Patriotism to people of all kinds 
 and creeds. 
 
 I am a Soldier. I fight German propaganda, intrigue, falsehoods, 
 treachery. 
 
 I am a Teacher. I set forth in 240 seconds, lessons in loyalty, 
 duty, thrift, conservation, co-operation. 
 
 24
 
 I am a Herald. I sound the clarion call for men to serve their 
 country. I summon help for the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross. 
 
 I am a Salesman. I sell Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps. 
 
 I am a Preacher. Using the text that all men are equal, I invoke 
 Loyalty, Patriotism, Devotion. 
 
 I am a Doctor. I give four-minute treatments for disloyalty, un- 
 Americanism, selfishness, laziness. I eradicate apathy and listless- 
 ness and instill "pep" and enthusiasm. 
 
 I am a Lawyer. Before a jury of all races and creeds, I indict 
 old world standards of caste, class distinction, privileges and false 
 pride. 
 
 I am an Efficiency Engineer. I plead for the elimination of waste 
 and carelessness and the practice of economy and conservation. 
 
 I am an Optimist. I have faith in the triumph of Truth and Right 
 over Might and Brute Force. 
 
 I am a Prophet. I predict the doom of Despotism and Autocracy 
 and the triumph of Liberty and Democracy. 
 
 I am a Lover. I love the Stars and Stripes. I love to think that 
 this nation under God is having a new Birth of Freedom and that 
 Government of the people, by the people and for the people shall 
 not perish from the earth. 
 
 I am the Mouthpiece of Democracy. 
 
 I make men THINK. 
 
 I am a Four-Minute Man.

 AUXILIARY SPEAKERS 
 
 Three auxiliary organizations were developed by the 
 Four Minute Men. These included speakers who spoke 
 only in Fraternal Societies, Churches, and Labor 
 Unions. These speakers, although not regularly listed 
 as Four Minute Men, did effective service in their re- 
 spective fields, followed the schedule of official topics, 
 and acted in accordance with instructions from the Chi-
