A Democratic Paper

A strong effort is being made
to turn the Logan Gazette into
q Democratic paper. The cry
has gone up that this county is
without a Democratic organ
and the voters of this political
faith desire a means of express
ing their side of the question.
We commend those al TIE back
of the movement for their de-
sires but we are fearful that
their venture may prove unsat-
isfactory. The old time polite
al newspaper is a thing of the
past. It died a natural death,
and we believe, cannot be re-
vived. Men are voting differ
ent than they did years ago.
They try to pick the best man
for the place regardless of his
political affiliations and do not
vote like sheep because their
leaders tell them to. TIE indie.
pendent voter ard the indie.
pendent newspaper has done
much to cleanse politics of it's
Objectionable features and will
do much more in the future.
We firmly believe the day of
the political newspaper is past.
