UPHOLDS FREE PRESS.
TiIIman Says Papers Now Under Fire
should Have Americas support.

A New York newspaper that has been
threatened by the President with an ac-
ton for criminal libel yesterday wired
Senator T1lman. as follows:
Should the government succeed in es-
tablishing a precedent for the prosecution
Of newspapers IN the present suit. what.
In your estimation. would be the result
ing danger TO the freedom OF the press.
TO public liberty. freedom Of elections.
and the possibility of maintaining a Wig
orous opposition TO the dominant party?''
In reply Senator TiIlman gave out the
following:
The issue is a mOmentOus one and no
patriot can contemplate the possibility of
the Presidents success in these suits
without great alarm. Jefferson declared
than as between a government without
newspapers and newspapers without a
government. he would choose the latter
because when properly informed the peo-
pie would protect themselves even with
out a government through the instru-
mentality Of public opinion A free press
can alone preserve free Institutions
Our great danger now lies IN the con-
troll Of the press and its consequent sub
serviency to those who use Il TO deceive
the people and perpetuate- their grasp
upon power. The American people cannot
guard too jealOusly the right Of freedom
Of speech and freedom to print whatever
is In the public interest
THE three newspapers now under fire
for their efforts to expose corruption in
high places should have the active sun-
port Of every true American. for their
cause Is the cause of Us all"

 President T. p. Mitten of the South Side lines has allowed 1t to be under stood that he would follow MT. Roach in any agreement MT. Roach might make with the union men.
