The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-09-14
ed and sent to many leading republi-

is equally certain that the present
necessity of the republican party in
the county Is an organ to represent it.
That the people generally and the re-
publican party especially, desire the
Immediate institution of such pub
LEGATION is a well-known fact, BUT are
the citizens ready and willing to give
to the promoter the substantial en-
couragement necessary to make such
an enterprise a success.
Such a paper as will meet the re-
quircments Of the situation is now
proposed, and IL is with view of ar
irving at some definite conclusion In
regard to this proposition that the
matter Is brought to your personal at
tention. At this time slight effort
on the part of those interested will Sc
cure for Logan and Cache county a
paper conducted along the following
lines and the question is, are you as
progressive citizen and an active re-
publican sufficiently In accord to lend
the very little assistance that may be
reasonably expected and required of
you?
The paper proposed is to be known
as "The Logan Republican" publish
ed twice a week and as regards
Size-a six-column, SPACE publica-
tion-lO columns larger than either
paper now published at Logan.
geographically Is designed to
be all that trst-class up-to-date ma
tcrial in the hands of thoroughly COM
petent craftsmen can make it. Well
set advertisements, uniformly arrang-
ed reading matter and careful press
work will make ANY paper thing of
beauty. Twelve years experience in
various first-class offices over the U. S.
would enable the publisher to make it
all that could be desired. The Re-
publican would be an 'all-home
print" thus benefitting both reader
and advertiser.
News Dept.--"A paper that is a
paper" Is to be the motto of this de-
partment. All that energy, ambition,
journalistic pride, careful study of
successful newspaper methods, several
years experience along publishing
lines, and nose for news" could in
fuse into the news columns would be
found there. No effort would be made
to cover all the ground between Zion
and the King of Siam, but instead,
every means possible would be used to
secure ALL the LOCAL news. This
paper would regard Logan, Cache
county, and Cache valley as its legiti-
ment news field, and such field care
fully covered cannot fail to produce
the best local paper in Utah. Special
attention would be paid to the schools
of the valley-likewise any enterprise
Vdesigned for the valleys progress.
Politically-the Republican would
be what its name indicates. At those
times when political issues are before
hn hn aI
would be used for the advancement of
part OF Utah. Every legitimate, hon
orable means that might be suggested
would be used to assist the party to-
ward the desired end-and by party"
we refer to the organization as repre-
sented by the regularly selected COM
mitteeS. However the editorial COL
umns are not designed for abuse, and
at no time would the paper become so
violently partisan and viciOusly vim
dictive that persons Of opposite politi-
cal faith could not read its news COL
umns with pleasure and its editorials
with certain amount of composure.
When not occupied politically, the
editorial columns would be devoted to
matters OF local interest and especial
ly the securing of the city's and coun-
tvs improvement and growth In var
iouS directions. Numerous natural
and acquired advantages of this local.
ity would ever be upheld as means
OF inducing a heathful immigration,
and local enterprise of any and every
description would here receive the en-
couragement of which IL might be
worthy. In other words, the idea
would be TO boom the valley"
such Is the paper proposed, and
whether II Is secured at this time de-
ponds upon the readiness of Cache
valley citizens to show little enter
prise.
The plan-All that is necessary is
the securing OF certain number (Suf-
ficient to indicate the public mind) of
one year subscriptions TO The Repub-
lican at the yearly subscription rate
paper within Is days after first issue.
1t is desired that said publication be
given to the public not later than the
10th day of August and you will see
the necessity of prompt action.
Within the coming few days you will
probably be solicited to subscribe for
the same and this prospectus is sent
you that YOU may understand the plan
and have thought about the matter
before being approached by the solicit
tor.
However, If you feel sufficiently in
terested TO give us your name as a
subscriber without waiting for solic-
ftor to come TO you, a blank for that
purpose will be found herein provided

and mail to n. Ralph Moore, Logan,
Utah, and the kindness will be apprc-
ciated. 1t may well be added that
their Is no objection to any one taking
as many subscriptions as he chooses.
Yours very truly,
n. RALPH MOORE.
This plan and prospectus has been
investigated by the Republican Cen
trial Committee In official session, the
members of (which not only gave IL
their unqualified endorsement, but
now respectively urge upon the public
at large, and republicans especially,
the acceptance of the proposition.
