NEWSPAPER bosses


Honest newspapers that were.
trying to serve the public would
give their readers the truth about
politics, and give those readers
some chance to determine for
themselves just what is best for
them to do politically.
What the Chicago papers real
ly do, however, is to color the
news to favor the candidates in
whom they are particularly, and
no doubt selfishly, interested.
A man who knows little about
conditions in Chicago himself
would have a tough time of it
getting at the truth by reading
the newspapers.
Each of them is an organ of
somebody or some faction or
party. The Hearst papers color
the news to influence their read
ers in favor of the candidates
Hearst wants elected, and knocks
everybody else.
The News adroitly handles the
political news to help the candi-
dates Victor F. Lawson favors.
Of course the Record-Herald
plays the same game.
The Tribune has its favorites,
and wants to kill over all polite
ians who wont or don't play The
Tribune game.
The Inter- Ocean plays a wide
open Lorirner game, and is
against everybody who is against
-Lorirner and not with the inter
ests Lorimer and The Inter
ncaoT1 c4fonpr4
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-04-03
And outside

political campaign each of them
is very careful to keep off the
other fellows corns.
1t is quite evident that political
pull has been valuable to both
The News and The Tribune, as
witness the public school land oc-
cupied by them at a rental on a
very low valuation made by their
political friends in office.
Hearst hasn't accomplished
much yet because he hasn't had
the power. But he is fighting
hard enough to get it, and once
he gets it we'll see what he is
really after.
In the meantime progressives
in both, parties find it hard work
to get their news before news
paper readers and these progress
sives are the ones who are openly
fighting all party bosses and do
ing what they can to arouse the
people to the Importance of kick
ing all-besses from power and
taking the peoples government
into the hands of the people.
Political and newspaper bosses
don't want the people to think.
For when the people think des-
pots of all kinds are in danger.
But that doesn't keep the peo-
pie from thinking, or from find
ing out the truth. The vigorous
young fighters who are trying to
lick the bosses and make the
parties progressive are Drawing
the wrath of all kinds of BOSSES
