Pres. Fogs's Address
Never has there been q time In the
history OF the newspaper in the State
OF Maine when the influence which IL
being exerted by the papers in the
several counties, counted for as much
as it does today and there are very
few of you gentlemen present today
who realize the power to mould public
opinion that is within your grasp.
During the unofficial meetings OF the
Press Congress Of the World. which
I attended, 1t was discovered that the
papers which exerted the most In
fluence in any community were not
the "big" dailies, so called with the
circulations mounting into the thous.

ion. but the smaller ones in cities of

York Times, the Chicago Tribune and
others of like nature. These larger
papers are read more for the ''news''
than for any interest that the reader
might have in knowing or caring.
what the editor might think person
ally, for the most of the large dailies
referred to above are conducted by
corporations which are organised
more for the purposes of giving fair
