Show H' SUPPRESSING SPEECHES. B The Associated Press carried the speech of Governor Hunt of H Arizona, and oil papers in the association were furnished with the m address, which occupied nearly a column of space in this paper. m Those who read the speech will concur with us in the opinion that ' the utterance was worthy of -reproduction in every paper in th United States. But Governor Hunt is a Progressive. He is for the plain people and opposed to shams and hypocrisies, and that explains why the Herald-Republican of Salt Lake, devoted to ''the interests" in-terests" and made to serve ithe cause frt'riuimmon, failed in its duty as a newspaper, faifedviuifsob'ligatioir'to its readers, by rejecting the speech and reducing 'GdverjiprIIuntte defense of honest government gov-ernment to the following paragraph 'taken 'from Thursday morning's morn-ing's issue of that paper: Governor Hunt delivered his inaugural address Ho said he believed in progressive principles, which he intended intend-ed to carry out, and that ho alsb bclicvdd in economy. His administration, he said, would be along, business lines rather than political, and the interests of thc-people will be always his first consideration. It is significant that the Standpat press makes a rule of suppressing sup-pressing the speeches of Progressives as reported to the organs of pelf by the Associated Press. The editors of the subsidized papers confess by their cowardly treatment of the utterances of the Progressives Pro-gressives that they recognize the force of the arguments produced and dare not accord to their opponents a fair presentation of the reform re-form doctrines and demands. |
