LOS .ANGELEs HERALD

Inc t1eIalQ mas dInple reason 10 De-
lieve is the general and unanimous
sentiment of the Democracy with re-
gard to this newspaper and its work
for the party Of Ameiieanism. With
every one of the 1874 delegates voting
in the affirmative the Democratic con-
vention at Maricopa, amid great cheer
ing, adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, by the Democrats of
Maricopa county, in convention
assembled, that we hereby recog-
nize the valuable and loyal sup
port which the Los Angeles Her
aid of Los Angeles, Cal, is CIV
ing to the cause of Democracy.
"We hereby indorse the said
Los Angeles Herald as the only
metropolitan Democratic daily in
Southern California, and we
hereby call upon the Democracy
of the whole territory of Arizona
to give its entire and undivided
assistance and support to the said
publication"
Our policy has become so well rec
ognized and appreciated by all politi-
cal parties that the Socialists of Los
Angeles county passed resolutions
speaking in the highest terms of Los
Angeles Herald on the ground that it
TREATED ALL PARTIES FAIRLY
during the recent campaign for free
speech in Los Angeles.
This expression of support from the
Socialists came to The Herald abso-
lutely Unexpectedly and without So
licitation. At no time does The Her
aid support any public cause like the
free speech contest on any other
grounds than that it believes that
cause to be just and right. If the
cause is right, The Herald will be
fair, and from this attitude nothing
will swerve it. We do not care to
gain any support unless it is fairly
and squarely won by reason of the fair
and square method and the even and
unprejudiced justice with which we
deal with all current or controversial
questions or causes, big or little. We
have not truckled slavishly to any
party or to any group of politicians,
but we have been fair to all parties
and to all men in public life.
The Doodle Dee newspaper in the
local field represents nothing but an
assault on the Democracy, the result
of its proprietor's pique and rage. as
well as of his desire to be of service to
some of the inerests which menace the
prosperity of Los Angeles, and his
anxiety to help the Republican party
An observer might think the yellow
monster was in it's death throes, judg-
ing it by the agonies from Which 1t
appears to be suffering. 1t is in misery
and is frothing at the mouth because
The Herald is constantly gaining head
way, constantly making progress. Since
it committed its last and fatal error
of proclaiming itself openly and un-
disguisedly the foe of Democracy and
the enemy of the Democratic party,
thousands of erstwhile supporters have
deserted it, and, instead of 1t, are get
ting Los Angeles Herald, which is fair
and equitable in its treatment of all
subjects, in addition to being clean,
high-grade, moral family newspaper.
Los Angeles Examiner came into ex-
istence under the protection and with
the support of organized labor in Los
Angeles, which is said to have provided
for Mr. Hearst when he entered this
field a circulation of 10000, figure
which after the first few months of
the Examiners existence it was un-
able to hold, and which it has never
been able TO regain, Whatever pres
tige the Examiner ever had disap-
peared and it rapidly and irretrieVably
lost it's popularity because it was
traitor to the Democracy of California,
and because, traitorous to Democracy.
it was equally a traitor to the people
in every cause it claimed to espouse.
A couple of years ago Hearst was
solemnly read out of the Democratic
party at all conventions held in this
state, and organized labor also re-
pudiated him, declaring him to be a
and mischief-maker and not
a true and dislnterested friend and
champion of the cause he pretended
to advocate.
The following typical resolution
shows what the great Los Angeles
Building Trades council thinks of yell
low journalism:
Resolved, That the Hearst pub
lications in the state of California
are a detriment to the working
classes and to the labor unions in
particular, and that this council
recommends to all of its affiliated
unions and to their membership
at large that they cease to patron
ize the publications of William
Randolph Hearst, and particular
ly the Los Angeles Examiner.
"R. ALBRIGHT,
Secretary of the Los Angeles
Building Trades Council"
After the establishment of the Ex-
aminer, it did not take organized Ia
supporting Hearst's paper it was mere
ly, so to speak, cherishing a serpent
in it's bosom; nor did it take long to
find out that Hearstism is a detriment
to organized labor, and that all of
Hearst's papers, but particularly the
Los Angeles Examiner, had hurt and
not helped the cause. The Central La
bor council has recognized the fact
