"YOU PAYS Your MONEY AND TAXES
Your CHoICE."-There is such striking
similarity between the platform adopted by
the National Liquor Dealers Convention
six months ago and the platform of the
Republican National Convention on the
liquor question, that the latter seems almost
a plagiarization OF the former.
The liquor dealers resolved:
THAT we are unalterably opposed to
prohibition, general or local, az an invasion
of the rights Cf the people,"
The republican convention resolved:
"We reaffirm our unanswering devotion
to the personal rights and liberties Of cttt-
zens."
The liquor dealers further resolved:
"That we are in favor of both public and
private morality and good order and pup.
ular education; that we most earnestly
favor temperance and most strictly condemn
intemperance."
And the republican convention said:
"The first concern of all good govern
ment Is the virtue and sobriety Of the
people and the purity of the homo. The
republican party cordially sympathizeswi with
all wise and well-directed efforts for the
promotion of temperance and morality"

THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS
the reduction of its
cents to ONE CENT per copy.

Of The DAILY News. The large addition to its
present million-a-week circulation, which will
surely come with its reduction to 0He cent a day.
Will fully compensate for the reduced profit at
which each paper is sold All this concerns the
reader only as assuring him that The DAILY News
can reduce its price and at the same time maintain
its high character as the foremost newspaper of the
Northwest-that a mion-a- week circulation
makes the otherwise impossible entirely possible
The present is peculiarly the time to inaugu-
rate this popular departure in American Jour.
nasm. The approaching Presidential election
widens immeasuraby the field and opportunity
for The DAILY News as an independent, impartial
fearless newspaper-one free from all the entangle-
ments of mere partisan allegiance. The demand
is more and more for newspaper which shall
give all the political news free from partisan color
ing and which shall tell the absolute, unvarnished
truth about things regardless Of its effect upon the
fortunes of this that political party or candidate
This demand The DAILY News aims to meet and
at its reduced price it combines all the elements
which should make it literally everybody's paper.
To the thousands of new readers whose atten-
ton is for the first time directed to THE DAILY
News it IS proper to say that they will find it
complete in all the essentials Of the best Amer-
can journalism of to-day. Its quality as ne7ys-
paper proper is best indicated in the fact that it is
the only low-priced paper in Chicago or the

Republican Club.


Quite number of republicans, promin
ent and otherwise, met In Turn Hall on
Saturday evening to perfect club organi.
zation. Several huge thinkers were there
You could tell them by the way their skulls
arose and fell with the throbbings Of their
restless brains or beef-it was hard to
discern which.
The platform was untenanted with the
exception of sad looking chair, which
stood alone and lonely, seemingly the per-
sonifcation of the partys last defeat. A
picture of the Grandson of his grandfather
minus the hat, occupied one side of the
view while representation of the gentle
man with the "bar'l" stood at the extreme
left. Near this was banner, upon which
was inscribed the legend, Turn the Rascals
Out"
When nearly all present had affixed their
names to the roster, Mr.. McDougall spoke.
He said that the party was confident of
success because 1t was in the right, TIE
present administration had not fulfilled its
promises and no one could depend upon 1t
in the future. The democratic party tends
toward English trade, while the republican
party has taken stand for the home and
the American workmen, With this as their
watchword the party would march on to
certain victory.
Mr.. Cook opened the ball for the Ottawa
machine by proposing to cut the executive
committee down from seven to three, pre-
sumably for the very obvious reason that
the machine could control three better and
easier than seven. The house didn't see
the point, but thinking that Mr.. Cook was
a great and good man. allowed the measure
to 60 through.
Mr.. Michael Hannifen said: ~ don't
know what section it is that applies to the
election of officers, but''-that settled It,
Mr.. Bull had sat upon Mr.. Hannifen and
squelched him. lie was etfectually choked
off, as 1t were.
Mr.. Nattinger: What is the name of
the club?"
A voice: "The Republican Club OF Ot
tawa."
Mr.. Nattinger: 81 think 1t would look
better on our banners to have the names:
Harrison and Morton Club although,
(reflectively) 1t night not look so we'll next
year."
The machine then began electing Off

That the rules be suspended, and Mr.. So

IT is fitting that the pioneer of low-priced
journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper of to-day upon the basis of
the lowest unit of American coinage. Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest The founding of The
DAILY News at lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession as inviting certain failure,
But they were wrong. To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation of
THE DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
lished sworn statements, 1000 copies day
with single exception the largest daily circula-
tion in America, and greater than the circula-
tons of all other Chicago daiics confined.
THE DAILY News has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes Of its founders. For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledge
ments to an appreciative public 1t believes, how
ever, that the time has now come when, acting
entirely within the limits Of wise commercial
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression 1t proposes henceforth to "dvide 4"
as to its friends-and to multiply as to its crcua-
ton To-day it reduces its price to One CENT
and expects to double its circulation.
And anticipating the questonings of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that the thing can be
DONE THE DAILY NEws-all that it has been in
the past we'll all that is rightly expected Of
it in the future as leader in progressive Ameri-
can ournasm-can be produced and sold for
one cent a aay and this by reason Of those COM
mon principles of trade which make possible
lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases. THE DAILY News now
sells oafy million baperS aoeeh, as shown by its
published sworn statements of circulation and it
can afford to sell at smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dailies, of which has as
much as one-third the average daily circulation
