The freedom of the press comes high.
Witness The effort of eighteen citizens
to establish new daily newspaper in New
York, PM, upon which they spent $780,
900 before its first issue.
The daily magazine-type journal.
without paid advertising, is undergoing fl
nancial reorganization. 1t will continue to
be new, liberal, truth-seeking news
paper" according to Marshall Field, who
has put up additional money to keep the
newspaper going.
Here we have an idea of. the immense
sum that is necessary before the pro-

of success.

STRANGEST CAMPAIGN
IN AMERICAN HISTORY

This has been one Of the
strsngest campaigns in American
political history.
The President has not men
tened his opponent by name,
and has left the real work TO a
group of lesser light New Dealers,
none OF whom possess any great
appeal for the masses Of voters.
SO far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, the issues have hardly
been discussed. The campaigners
have contented themselves with
praising the President and his
achievements and urging his re-
election on the grounds that he
Is better fitted than anyone else
