The Republican, Circulation Gr0uOth

In August, 1913, The Arizona Re publican put into effect several inn portant new policies which, resulting i1 bigger. cleaner. better news paper, have won for it q remarkable gain in paid circulation. First, news service in all departments increased and new features added: second, all objectionable, disaGreeable and all patent medicine advertising was elim- mated; third, clean vigorous edu- cational campaign was instituted to bring home to the minds of the rcople the advantages of a clean, re- liable home paper, and to business men the desirability of placing their advertising in such medium
 That our work has been remark ably successful is proven by our re- markable gains in circulation and ad- vertising
 The Arizona Republican believes in clean, reliable advertising only, just as it does in reliable news only. All disagreeable and all patent medicine advertising not under contract was promptly killed" last fall Since then aH such advertising has been killed" upon expiration of contract, and the few remaining accounts have but short time to run.
 This decision has meant the refusal of contracts for the ensuing year to- talling thousands of dollars It has meant however, a decided increase in clean advertising, which is as result mere effective. Best of all, it has met with the hearty and universal approval of thousands of readers, and thus The Republican has done the greatest thing possible to pOpularize itself The Republican will at all times devote it's columns to clean journalism. This means it's adver- Using columns as well as it's news columns

CHOICE
IN TINKER DEAL
Elk leader of Cincinnati Refuses
to Ray With Any but Cubs
or Pirates.

1T strikes me that the eastern mag
mates who are trying To put over a
deal for me with Garry Hermann are
wasting a lot Of their energy" was
what Joe Tinker said yesterday when
informed that Philadelphia was max
ing a strong bid for his services dur
ing the 1914 season.
Joe il dead on the level with his
statement that he will play ball per
manently next season in but two Of
the National league cities Chicago
Is his preference and If Murphy and
Evers cant make a deal for him he
says he would be willing 20 go to
Pittsburgh But Pittsburgh is his sec
ond choice.
Joe says II Hermann sends him TO
one Of the eastern teams he will re-
fuse to report And Joe has fiatter-
ing offers from the Feds 10 do bust
ness right here i'm Chicago. He's the
boy who is in d position to say what
he cares to-
He pulled from his pocket the copy
Of a telegram which he stated would
be sent TO the manager OF any club
that looked as though il would land
his services. The telegram follows:
My business interests compel me
70 protect you to the extent that your
should not complete negotiations for
NY services until | am consulted"
Joe says he'll fash that message TO
he first club that looks as though IL
would grab him.

that the game was controlled by Il
