Speech Writing
You're going to write a speech. And you're scared to death. Sure, I know you're not afraid of the speechmaking. Spouting it out is comparatively easy; in fact, it may be fun. But writing-ah! That is another story.
But relax, and let's talk about it. Push aside the paper and pencil, or if you are planning to dictate your speech, tell who-ever's wanting to ask something to come back later. Somehow this invitation to make a speech puffs you up like a gas balloon. Why, I don't know.
How to Write Speeches...
You're the same person you were before you took the phone call or read the email invitation. The ideas you will present to these people will be the same old stuff that you've been giving your buddies and the bartender. There is nothing startling or revolutionary about these ideas. Well, if you are the same person with the same ideas, what's the sense of getting puffed up?
So let's deflate and discuss why they asked you to make this speech. I don't mean what they told you in the invitation - let's go into the real why.
Is it because Whosis is the program chairman, and he knows you or has heard of you? Or maybe somebody has asked your manager in Fort Worth, and he tried to think of somebody and sold you to them. Or perhaps they've got twenty-seven turndowns and in desperation they are grabbing at you. Most invitations are like that. So let's not get puffed up over the request. Sometimes it's a case of everybody in the group has to give speech or toast or...
Then let's consider what they want. Well, they want you to talk for twenty or thirty minutes. They hope you will be good, but they have their ringers crossed. They want you to tell them something, or to sell them something, and they hope you'll do it

Bobot likely to pass on write-in attempt
Assistant City Attorney Vince Bobot said today he almost certainly will not pursue a write-in campaign for Milwaukee County sheriff in the Nov. 7 election. Bobot said a write-in campaign would be too costly. A mailing to tell voters how to write his name on the ballot and provide more information about his platform and experience would cost about $100,000, Bobot said. Only a major unforeseen development in the race could change his mind, he said. Bobot lost to Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. in last month's Democratic primary and at that time said he was considering a write-in campaign. Clarke will face Republican Donald Holt in the Nov. 7 general election.

I was sitting in the club at Chicago bound for home, a six-hour trip ahead of me. I had just attended a meeting - four days of speeches and planned presentations.
In the thirty-six talks there was one good speech one that listeners would like - one in thirty-six - less than 3 per cent.
That is not a good average. In those talks there was good material, plenty of it. Some presenters were working with material that could have made excellent speeches.
The notebook that I leafed through as I sat proved this fact. And I was surprised, too, at the notes I had taken, for I had never been much of a note taker. But in this case I had written notes and comments on each speech - what was wrong with it, what was right.
Before the meeting all the speakers had done a lot of work in preparing their presentations. And it was a shame to see all of their work wasted.
Each person meant for his presentation to be good, of course. With the amount of work, each should have been good.
Some of the men read their talks. It so happened that not one of them knew how to read a speech.
Others talked with charts or other exhibits in a way that left much to be desired. Others just talked.
But it so happened that out of thirty-six talks only one was good. Now why was that? Well, my conclusion as I analyzed my notes was this: These speakers didn't know how to write good speeches.
