Show THE NEW DAILY. The newspaper situation as It has existed hero for several years Is perhaps per-haps without a parallel. All the dally papers, with the exception of the Des-eret Des-eret News, which, however, being a church organ, cannot be classified as an ordinary newspaper, have been controlled con-trolled by two or three men who have a community of Interests and who pimply pim-ply uso their papers, tho Tribune, Herald Her-ald and Telegram in furtherance of their own business and political schemes, use them to mislead and deceive de-ceive tho public. Tho Tribune, while posing as a Republican organ, has for the past two years turned upon the party It was supposed to champion and has done it nil the Injury tho fertile brains of it's managers and editors could devise. de-vise. Tho principal owner of the Trlbuno considered that ho was the Republican party of Utah and when tho vast majority of the party disputed his claims he turned his guns upon I and has been shooting nt it since he was denied reelection to tho Unite! States senate. Not the Mormons alone were the subjects of his wrath. Gen-tlles Gen-tlles who would not bow down and serve his uncouth, untutored majesty were abused and today aro abused and vilified to as great an extent as the Mormons. Those Gentiles who would not bow the knee to Mr. Kearns are the best men In this state In all respects, re-spects, tho other kind Mr. Kearns could and did buy. The Democrats havo no representative representa-tive In tho Herald. It never fights tho battles of tho party ot which it claims to be the organ. It has been and Is simply the tall to the Tribune's kite. The Telegram is the "me too'' evening edition of the Tribune. The Tribune slanders and misrepresents this state and has damaged Its material ma-terial interests millions of dollars and tho Herald and Telegram have in their half sneaking way aided and abetted the Tribune. The situation becamo Intolerable. The papers instead of building up tho city and state have been actively and maliciously engaged In tearing It down. Tho above are in brief the reasons why the new morn ing daily paper has been started hero; I the reasons why it is needed. The avowed policy of tho new paper, the Inter-Mountain Republican Is to build up the city and state, to render equal justice to all classes. It Is the organ of tho Republican party and its prln-cipal prln-cipal owner, Mr. A. E. Blunclc, gives assurances that it will represent tho whole party and not any faction or clique; that it will bo just and fair to the Democrats, Just and fair to the wholo people. There is groat need for such a paper here. Mr. Blunck, an experienced newspaper man of the East saw the need and seized tho opportunity. op-portunity. Ho came here, put in his own plant, a modern, up-to-dato plant and has started tho paper. It is up to 'he people who think that such a paper pa-per here will do them good to support sup-port it. The first issue appeared last Monday. It Is n good, clean paper, typographically ty-pographically tho equal of any In the city, nnd otherwise compares nd-vantageously nd-vantageously with the other dallies. It has started up with a circulation of over C500 nnd Is Increasing dally. It ought to be a decided success and Truth hopes It will. |
