be pleased to get one-third
During the late municipal election
lThe Times devoted itself 10 the ticket
and estranged q host OF readers by
lits strong advocacy OF IT'S election
No one VIII deny that il did all that
was possible for a newspaper 70 90
for the party But Che Republican
city central committee spent more
money In any of the other papers
than in The Times! Il ran the ticket
lin larger space In the other four pa.
lpers, and made a special appropria-
lllon for the benefit OF the News, a
paper that has no politics
There Is nothag peculiar In all
this. II Is the way the organ Is
generally treated 1t does the work,
spends the money for labor and
White paper, and the other papers get
the cash or the larger part OF II.
We do not suppose there We're one
hundred subscribers OF The Times
lthat took 1t because 1t was a Repub-
he an paper, and doubtless there are
thousands Of people who would have
taken II If II had not been Repub-
l]Ran
The Democrats are supposed to have
an organ In the 0klahoman What
has that paper gotten from the Dem
oorats but curses? Did il get the
lcity printing No, II was given to
| the non-partisan News.
The Guthrie Capital was a party
organ For twenty years It's publish
er,l Mr. Greer devoted his life to
that paper, II was one of the most
Thorough out and out, partisan pa
lpers ever published.
Well, how was Mr. Greer reward
ed2 He never made any money out
D. the paper and recently had TO sus-
pend for want OF patronage!
! These are the reasons, oh We pol
litlclans, for the absence Of organs
today among the successful and met
lrcpolitan newspapers.
We do not mean to say that those
papers are without political conyic
litions, but that few Of them are par
| t., organs.
So The Times Is willing to see some
ass start an organ for the Repub
lican party in this city. But we
prophecy that unless he has an enor-
nous fortune he will go broke.
The Times Is a Republican paper
l6ll right, but II does not belong toI
tile politicians or party bosses. III
lis Independent and will not stand die
tation nor will II stand for yellow
! ticket, or a yellow dog en- the ticket,
