Editor The Caucasian: Early las,
August / issued circular letter rec
ommending few things for the Pro-
gressiVes TO read during the cam
paigp. Internationally (through over
sight and partially through ignor-
ance), | neglected TO mention the
Munsey daily papers, so now wish to
write revised letter along these and
i Progressive lines.
Since most OF our big daily papers
in our Eastern cities are either own
ed or controlled by the interests, the
! Roosevelt news Is very much muzzled
ana seems to be more 80 this year
than usual. Many are Democratic
papers and our State papers are near
ly all this way, so to get any real
news daily, has been necessary to 90
| out OF my State for the news. AS a
! consequence, many are seriously mis-
kled and kept in unnecessary ignor-
ance and prejudice
! Would suggest to all Progressives,
and, in fact, all voters, to read in ad-
! dition to their State papers, what /
! will mention below
only two years ago one magazine
editor stated that the Philadelphia
/ North American was the only real in
/ dependent paper of any size in the
country, and until this year there
seems TO be very few east OF the
! Mississippi; however, they now seem
to be increasing, and doubtless will
| from now on.
Beginning with the Philadelphia
North American, this Is edited by E.
A. Van Valkenburg, who is a most
able and fearless writer His edi-
torials are long, conclusive and most
instructive. This paper is especially
live, perfectly clean, and non-sensa-
tional
Can also speak in the highest terms
of the five Munsey dailies owned by
Frank A. Munsey, which are as fol-
lows: The Boston Journal (morn-
ing), The New York Press (morning,
and bought by him less than month
ago., The Philadelphia Evening
Times, The Baltimore Evening News,
and The Washington Evening Times.
All of these are newsy and full of
rich and spicy editorials, cartoons,
| etc. Judson c.. Welliver contributes
every few days something l never like
! to miss.
Perhaps this section would prefer
! one of the papers nearest home, and
the Washington Evening Times
reaches you before breakfast.
You can reach any of these by sim
ply addressing their respective
names in their respective cities. The
subscription rates are around 25I
cents per month, and a little over,
and | know of no dailies which give
you more progressive news in return
for your money as well as news in
general. Really I would urge as
many as possible to read one or more
of the above from now until election.
The Outlook (weekly) needs no
introduction, and Colonel ROOSEVELT
has been contributing editor for more
than the last two years. His articlesi
relative to the Stolen Convention are
most convincing, entitled "Mr. Taft's !
Majority "Thou Shalt Not Steal"
1.-The Steam Roller" and Men Who
Live Softly" These are now in pam
phlet form and perhaps may be dis
tributed at Progressive clubs with |
other literature.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Hearst and |
all of his papers New York Ameri-l
can Journal, his papers in Boston, !
Chicago and San Francisco) will soon
come out for Roosevelt. They GER
tainly have not been unfriendly tot
him and his cause during this cam
paign.
Beg to add that, although born
and raised a State Democrat, [ have
been a most staunch admirer of Col
onel Roosevelt for some fifteen years,
and this loyalty is growing more and
more.
Cannot refrain from saying I con-
slider him a God-send, and the great
est man of the age, and really in a
class by himself, and although most
versatile, his speciality is knowing
how to run a country and give a
square deal all around.
Only wish I had the time, space
and command of words to state why
IT think it is for the best interest of
all that he should be our next Presi-
dent. Think the business world
would have no uneasiness who carry
lon same in a legitimate way.
While L have the highest regard
flor DR.. Woodrow Wilson, have very
little confidence in the Democratic5
party nationally and their allianceI
with Tammany and the old line boss
