ggfrAny erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or rep-
utation of any person, firm or corporation which may appear in
the columns of the NEWS will be gladly corrected upon its
being brought to the attentiou of the publisher^
pencil to the polls so we can give
him the proof-reader’s wf proper.
We make a charge to the county
and district candidates to announce
then—they why give the public
career of this gink free space?
Nixy on the con stuff, bo; we’re
too old at the game. Besides, we
wouldn’t do that for a friend, much
less a guy we never heard of.
Space and service is the ONLY
thing a pauer has for sale and by
the sufferin’ tom-cats before we’ll
give our space to a man seeking a
public office, we’ll close our shop
and help keep the streets clean.
Is this plain enough?
