HAMILTON NEWS

NAoAit.s A>oN. -
The journalistic world here continues
in something of a ferment. The latest
report is that the Anaconda company will
start a new democratic journal immedi-
ately under the direction of an able editor
and with unlimited capital behind it; a
paper that will indirectly at least repre-
sent the company and advocate it's inter-
ests. Editor Romney of the Western
News is still holding firm, refusing to sell
his plant to the organizer of the new
paper. There has not been sufficient
dough in sight as yet to warrant a
change of hands, but unless the News
does sell, an unpromising future lies be-
fore it. The sale of the Times to James
E. Stevens of the Republican is regarded.
under the circumstances, as a shrewd
financial and political move. The con-
solidation of the two republican papers
of the county would apparently give the
republicans a strong paper. Many of the
leading republicans. however, do not seem
inclined to accept the situation. and it is
rumored are even now planning a new
republican paper with no suspicion Of a
copper collar attached thereto. Future
developments are awaited with interest
by those understanding the true inward
ness of the situation here. 1t looks as if
the chains which have hitherto bound the
county are to be still more firmly riveted
preparatory to the big contest in the state
the coming year.
