so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW.

Tie Morning Democrat repeatedly
males the statement that IL battles

the paper in question is Simply black

ton has received added proof lately.
Sunday morning In an abusive arti-

NOW here IN where the bIackmail-

the Democrat had no fault to find with
its business methods, but the Gradcn
people stop advertising with that out

By its own confession the Democrat

II now claims that everything il has
said In the past was untrue II this
is true, what about it's opinion OF 9th

Democrat = only hope OF existence is
by inspiring citizens with FEAR OF per

Is It any wonder that Durango Is the
