Show HARD PICKI'28 The present editor of the Press-Bulletin took charge on April first of last year, and like most weekly newspaper editors found the sledding pretty rough, and at this time is not afraid to tell the readers of this newspaper that the sledding is still not being done on a bed of roses. On April 1, 1924, the Press-Bulletin had a circulation of 31 bona fide subscribers over 1000 papers were used for this current issue. ; A newspaper that takes a definite stand is more or less in hot water all the time, and the Press-Bulletin has been no exception. It has tried in the past 18 months to give the people of Bingham Canyon the TRUTH in all matters, and as the truth sometimes does hurt, this paper has made many enemies. Of course, we all know that friends are better than enemies, and yet it is said that an enemy is always the best booster. Be this as it may, the Press-Bulletin has found that its enemies have been detrimental rather than beneficial. Unfortunately, the enemies of the Press-Bulletin have been a class of persons who, like an owl, have worked in the dark, always underhanded, under-handed, and never with enough nerve to come out in the open and fight like a man. The Press-Bulletin, fearing no one, has always tried to be open and above board, thus the fighting tactics of the Press-Bulletin and its enemies have not been in harmony, so to speak. The result of these encounters thus far have been what could be termed a draw, that is, until the last week, when the underhanded work of a few almost cleaned out the Press-Bulletin, and the work of the past 18 months of the present editor. j Trying to demoralize and smash up the circulation campaign of the Press-Bulletin, which has held the interest of the locals for the past six weeks, it looked rather blue and dismal to ye editor, but as right always prevails, pre-vails, the sun again is shining, although one never knows when the clouds will re-appear. County officials, who in the discharge of their duties are supposed to be neutral, are said to have used their influence to corrupt the numerous candidates, one in particular being alleged to have told most of the residents in his district "not to throw their money away." Remarks that the Press-Bulletin would be closed for all time by October 1, as far as the present editor is concerned are alleged to have been passed out-by some of our so-called "friends." Another declared the Press-Bulletin would not function during the coming town election, under the leadership of the present editor. After this elaborate explanation, we come to the real object of this message. The Press-Bulletin wants friends, needs friends, but IT IS NOT AFRAID OF ITS ENEMIES. It wants the support of every respectable, law abiding citizen within the zone of its circulation. It wants everyone who is for the right, to support it. It wants YOU to do your bit to break up the underhanded clique that is at present doing its best to close the Press-Bulletin. Press-Bulletin. ' Personally, we like Bingham Canyon, we want to stay here, we want to help fight the battles of the people, we want to expose the corruptness of certain people, whose white collar and smooth tongue thus far have failed to fool us, although many have fallen victim to their rabble. Once more, folks, we ask your assistance, your moral support, to help us overthrow these miserable hypocrites, whose efforts are purported to undermine un-dermine the prosperity of this community. |
