Always Staunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow Journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of ~ cents per day

tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves a good taste in the mouth
