People who have been watching the
newspaper field will agree that the new
venture has a fine opening to win fa-
vor and support.
Not an Imitation.
From Truth
The Telegram, an old lady

senatorial chariot. and it's readers are
watching, closely for the leading
strings
Enter the News-Democrat, as an out
and out Democratic party organ. and
the plot thickens entertainlngly. A
straightforward fore word as to policy

exclusive story OF great local impor-
tance Indicated that il is a factor 10 be
reckoned with i'm the newspaper world.
IL is probable that IL viii receive the

III IL gives the news II may reason

portion OF the public which wants a

These are stirring times in the local
newspaper world and between the
competition and the political rows a
reader OF any one OF the four sheets
ought easily to get his moneys worth.
In the Middle of the Arena.
IFrom The State.l
The State welcomes the News Demo .
crat under new management and a new
name to the field of reform journalism
In Rhode Island. We do not want the
field TO ourselves, although for a short
time we had IL.
We extended the Journal and Bulle-
tin the glad hand" when they gave
the last OF that series OF fops which
landed them just inside the fence Of
the reform pasture. although at the
same time we took occasian to casti-
gate them for their past sins.
We are happy to congratulate the
News-Democrat on lighting down

Make just as good a paper as you
can-clean, honorable, broad in SYM

Rhode Island needs that kind OF a
paper. We advise every friend OF re-
form TO let machine papers strictly
alone. and TO read the News-Democrat.

only the Truth NOW.
[From the Pawtuxet Valley Cleaner !
The News Democrat will certainly
prove n mouthpiece by which TO ex-
press Its contempt for the Brayton and
other boss rule and will serve as a
medium to place before the public the
Democratic conception OF things. In
other words all political reports will
not hereafter be all one-sided.
This will be a good thing for the Re
publicans. because II will prompt them
10 be a little more considerate of the
Independents within their ranks.
We predict circulation OF at least
$4,000 copies daily before the close OF
the year for the News-Democrat.
Afraid Of Nothing.
IFrom the Rental Guide.l
The advent of the News Democrat
presents another interesting feature In
local journalism. II is in the hands of
men who know how 10 make a good
newspaper on legitimate lines, is fear
less In Its announced principles, and
was not afraid to be born on Friday.
It's choice OF a birthday Is in strong
contrast TO that OF its slightly older
contemporary which postponed It's in,'
tial cry for twenty-four hours to avoid
the unlucky 18th.
And What N Difference.
tFrom the Hope Valley Advertiser
With the News Democrat the changes
In newspaper property In Providence
may probably be considered complete.
The turnover was a logical sequence
OF the change In the ownership ana
policy OF the Telegram.
The Democratic party was left with
out an expositor OF It's principles. and
new ventures In journalism are not
popular In the city.-
IL is hoped the News Democrat VIII
find it's path one OF influence and profit.
