Show THE ORGAN SQUIRMS. Tho organ of tho Federal bunch, weakening in its support of .Preaidont Taft, squirms- on the exposure of its doublo-dcnliug. It is now quito willing to cater to Roosovclt sentiment, although al-though in tho past it has shamefully suppressed Roosovolt news and has brought itself under tho consuro of tho Roosovolt supporters in thiB Stato to snch an cxtont that these Republicans denounce tho Federal bunch and its organ for their dishonesty, their suppression sup-pression of tho nows, and their falso representations generally. In order to divert attention from it? own twistings, turnings, and untrust-worthiness untrust-worthiness in this mattor, tho Smoot organ or-gan turns now and iutimatcs that Tho Tribune is supporting Roosevelt. Inasmuch, Inas-much, however, as Tho Tribune's resistance re-sistance to the Roosovolt aggression has been the only real and effective resistance re-sistance presented in this State, we can afford to pass by the organ's transparent transpar-ent folly in making this charge. Tho Tribune's genuino opposition to Col. Roosevelt for a third term for the Presidency has been so openly, so firmly, firm-ly, and so constantly stated, that there can bo no question or doubt on that point. But the orgun bases its allegation against The- Tribune upon tho fact that Tho Tribune prints tho Roosevelt Roose-velt news. It is true that Tho Tribune Trib-une prints the Roosevelt news, just as it prints all kinds of news iu which tho public has an interest. The Tribune Trib-une gives tho news, because it is a newspaper. The fact that the nows carries Roosevelt matter is not a reason rea-son why it should be suppressed; The Tribune does not suppress it, the Federal Fed-eral bunch organ does. And that is tho difference betwocn a real newspaper news-paper and a fake newspaper. The Roosevelt supporters in this State have noticed that The Tribune gives the news impartially and fairly; they have also noticed that the Federal Fed-eral bunch organ does not, and they come out in open condemnation of it accordingly. This they have a perfect per-fect right to do; but the idea that, because be-cause a paper prints news about Roosevelt, Roose-velt, therefore it must be a Roosovclt supporter, is one of those stupid conclusions con-clusions that could not occur to any but a dishonest mind. |
