NEWSPAPER ORGANS
OF OUR PRESIDENTS
How They Flourished in the Early
Days, but Are No Longer
to be Found.
New York Evening Post

Statentnts thai Mr. Harding is our arst
working journalist to attain the Presidency
arc substantially accurate. even &c Mr. Van
Hurcu was once an active part owner of tho
Albany ArEus tluf for nffy years after
the foundation Of the government the con
HeCtion between the great political leader
and tho press was intimate that many
such leaders we're at ono time or another
virtually newspaper mon Jefferson said Ia
iiA9 that II he had tn choose iirfwpcu "A
government without newspapers and news
papers without government he would
choose the latter With another future
President, Madison. Jefferson was the found
or. in 1921. uf thc National Gazette just
before ho assumed the Presidency ne wa.
instrumental In having the National In
tclliEcnCer established al the new capital -
defend his administration Rurr aud Hamil
ton had their own organs Ia which they
dictated their opinions to hC reproduced a.
editorial articles Thus the party press
fourshcd until it reached its apoEe" when
President Jackson forsakcn for Calhoun
by Dun Green and the TeiSEraph set up
his own new spaper in Washington
Picturesque was this connection Of
new wspapers and political chiefs IL involved
no little degrade tion for the former The
political newspapers tended 10 become
slavish party organs Jefferson expected
Frcncau, the editor OF the National Gazette,
and II smith the editor Of the National
Intelligcncer. To marshal all the Republican
papers from the kndrOscUgRin to the Alta
maha. aud most such papers fell into
obedient line. Cehetham in this city was
called "Burrs editor Blair. whom Jack
son at a reputed cost of $50 900 "A year cS-
tablishCd as head of MS paper the ilobC.
was an able writer. as was his co worker,
Kendall They would hold regular con
ferences with the President. While .Iac6son

that voiced the opinions OF the chief magis-
trate in language far beyond the old Indian
fghter's powers Thcreupon all the Demo-
cratic papers from the southwest to the
northeast <,re expected to take up the
theme in harmonious chorus
Mr. Harding record
contributed more to his election than
did Washington : record "A planter or
wilson's as a professor to their elevation
Journalists would have felt added pride
OF profession If a Greeley or George W
Curtis had ever risen to the Presidency
They have not congratulated themselves on
any tribute 10 their calling in Harding s

themselves that an American of Jack son S
