We know of a number of merchants he has visited, advising them not to advertise in this paper, declaring that nobody reads it anyway", and it is a waste of money to advertise in it. He points to articles published on the Power Question" and calls such things rot, and biased opinions," and uses this as an argument to influence advertisers from using space in this paper. We think these tactics of Mr. Coleman are "u being in the nature of sabotage, but he lias been doing it so long that a public statement- scorns necessary. ask our readers to answer these questions honestly: Have you ever found any Power items untrue? Or any which deviated from fact, or tried to influence readers by tricky headlines? Or which were not ascribed definitely to seme source, as to Mayor Mark Anderson, or other city officials, concerned with the Power Question?" If false statements are made, or quotations made from men who have not authorized such quotations, then we are to blame. The facts are that not once to our knowledge have we published an article on the Power Question which has not been submitted by the City officials. At the same time we repeatedly have told Mr. Coleman and Utah Power & Light officials that the columns of this paper are open for presentation of their views, and we still maintain that same position. If Mr. Coleman complains that no expression is given in this paper to Power interests, he and his committee have themselves to blame. We will publish anything not containing libellous statements, which they sign and bring to us, the same as we do for Mayor Anderson. We are not seeking contributions on controversial questions, but .we are willing at all times, within reasonable limits, to publish anything on any side of any question, written or prepared by men who have the moral courage to stand by their own convictions and come out in the open with their propaganda. We have our own private opinions and convictions, but it is not our business to promote such opinions or convictions except in the editorial columns, and we ask our readers if they have ever found us editorializing on the Power Question, to the harm of either side. Mr. Coleman's statement that people do not read this paper is an assumption which he undoubtedly withes were true, but which he knows is false, for his actions belie his. words. If no one reads the Utah Valley News why is he so concerned about anything, whatever its nature, which may appear in it? Ilis action, in advising people not to patronout of his knowledge that thousands ize il, the articles on the Power Qucs-t- i, read do f jkojiIc and are pleased to find out Mayor Anderson's :.. ri'itl convictions. ?T'.-)K pie nt to know "the other side" of vote any p'lidu question that they may be' able to inti'll: i.it'.v when the time eorres.
