The election this fall as far as publicity is concerned, will follow along the lines of previous ones, with all of the large daily papers, with a few exceptions, proclaiming the good points of Herbert Hoover and the Republican party. In Colorado there will be but one daily advocating the principles of the Democratic party. On the other side of the Iiolitical fence will be the dailies of Denver, Pueblo, Colorado papers. The one brings, Trinidad and the smaller exception will be the Grand Junction paper. In the nation, the same situation will prevail. New York will have The Times as the sole advocate of the Democratic policies. The news services have; already joined the ranks of Republicanism and are spreading the propaganda as heavily as they dare without causing unfavorable comment. It begins to look as if the Democrats will have to depend as usual on the weekly press and certain daily papers located in sections of the nation where the Democrats have the majority of the votes.
