GOVERNMENT GETS ITS
ADVERTISING FREE

In response to query presented
in regard to the subject of gov
eminent grating of news space, the
two candidates for president replied
in very different manner.
Governor Cox wrote that the news
paper was public news emporium
and that to charge for such matter
would convert the free press unto a
commercial enterprise. He thinks
liberty bonds propaganda, etc.,
should be published gratis as public
duty.
Senator Harding says the space
should be paid for and that the gov
eminent frequently can compete un-
justly with private business for the
reason that its advertising is grated
from the newspaper men.
