There Is published In Portland a newspaper Known as the DAILY NEWS. It pretends to he the
champion of the WAGE EARNER. It prints, under great headlines, ATTACKS ON PUBLIC OFFI
CIALS, and news that tends to create DISCORD BETWEEN THE WAGE EARNER AND HIS EMPLOY
ER. It denounces as millionaires and plutocrats all who do not agree with it.
THE DAILY NEWS IS NOT OWNED by persons who belong to the WAGE EARNING CLASS. It Is
owned principally by what is Known as the Scripps-McRae Association. There are about 60 such
papers as the News in the United States. All are owned by the same Association. All live by EX
PLOITING THE WAGE EARNER.
The main man of the Scripps-McRea Association is E. W. Scripps. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN.HIM
IN PORTLAND ? Have you ever heard of his being indentified in any way with the cause of Port
land's WAGE EARNERS ?
DO YOU KNOW WHERE MR. SCRIPPS LIVES? HIS HOME IS AT MIRAMAR, EIGHT MILES
NORTH OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. HE HAS A COUNTRY ESTATE OF PERHAPS 10,000 ACRES.
HE HAS A FINE HOUSE, GROUNDS, CONSERVATORIES, AND AUTOMOBILE ROADS TO SAN DIEGO
AND THE OCEAN. HIS GROUNDS AND PALACE REPRESENT A TOTAL INVESTMENT OF OVER $1,
000,000.
Do you Know how large an estate is comprised in 10,000 acres? It is nearly ONE-THIRD OF
THE SIZE OF THE CITY OF PORTLAND. Itis equal to 87,000 TOWN LOTS, each 50x100 feet in size.
SCRIPPS IS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE ELSE HOW COULD HE LIVE IN A $1,000,000 PALACE AND
SPREAD HIMSELF OVER 10,000 ACRES?
How does SCRIPPS manage to live in such KINGLY SPLENDOR nearSan Diego? THAT'S EASY.
Every WAGE EARNER in Portland who reads the Daily News contributes 30c A MONTH to Scripps.
SCRIPPS HAS A LEAD PIPE CINCH, BUT WHERE DO YOU GET OFF AT?
Scripps paper at Portland has misrepresented MAYOR SIMON for two years. No matter how
many things MAYOR SIMON has done to PROMOTE THE WELFARE OF PORTLAND, the Daily News
has given him the worst of it. The News is now opposing MAYOR SIMON and wants the WAGE
EARNERS to vote against him.
WHAT RIGHT HAS SCRIPPS TO SIT IN HIS MILLION DOLLAR PALACE, NEAR SAN DIEGO, AND
TELL THE WAGE EARNERS OF PORTLAND HOW TO VOTE? IF SCRIPPS IS INTERESTED IN PORT
LAND'S WAGE EARNERS WHY DOES HE STAND 1500 MILES AWAY AND ISSUE ORDERS? WHY
DOESNT HE COME CLOSER? WHAT IS HE AFRAID OF?
MR. WAGE EARNER: DONT BE FOOLED BY SCRIPPS AND HIS PORTLAND NEWSPAPER.
WHAT YOU WANT IS THE CONTINUANCE OF THE PRESENT GOOD TIMES IN PORTLAND. SIMON
AND PROSPERITY ARE BEST FOR YOU. IF ANYTHING SHOULD GO WRONG AND YOU SHOULD BE
OUT OF WORK, SCRIPPS WOULD NOT HELP YOU TO THE EXTENT OF A NAIL OUT OF HIS MIL
LION DOLLAR PALACE. HE WOULD DO YOU THE HONOR OF INFORMING THE WORLD THAT YOU
ARE OUT OF WORK AND WILL CHARGE YOU 30 CENTS A MONTH FOR THE INFORMATION. NO
30 CENTS: NO INFORMATION.
Serve your own interests hy- votmgiorSIMONJlND PROSPER!
