De Lemos' Paper.
The first issue of the Alabama Outlook
republican paper by Ben DeLemos. is
out and is very neatly and creditably
gotten up. 1t is a four page sheet, with
sixteen pages, and goes in to support the
republican party. The e04tor says: at
will support President Roosevelt. 1t will
stand by the referees so long as the in
terests of our people are consulted, as
they seem to be doing now. We will de-
mand the appointment of republicans
wherever vacancies occur, provided rep
utable republicans can be found in the
communities where vacancies occur. and
men who will be perfectly acceptable to
the people of the community itself"
In general way tie paper is to look
into the affairs of the party in the state,
and help to build up a sentiment for
party loyalty and protection and to dis
courage the appointment of democrats to
office when it is possible to find republi-
cans.
