r There U published in Portland a newspaper known as THE
DAILY NEWS. It pretends to be the champion of the WAGE
EARNER. It prints, under great headlines, ATTACKS ON PUBLIC
OFFICIALS and newt that tends to create DISCORD BETWEEN
THE WAGE-EARNER AND HIS EMPLOYER. It denounces as
millionaires and plutocrats all who do not agree with it
' THE DAILY NEWS IS N6T 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 alout 60
such papers as the News in the United States. All are owned by the
same Association. All live by EXPLOITING THE WAGE-EARNER.
The main man of the Scripps-McRae Association is E. W.
Scripps. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HIM IN PORTLAND? Have
you ever heard of his being identified in any way with the cause of
Portland'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 TEN THOUSAND 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 ONE
MILLION DOLLARS.
Do you know how large an estate is comprised in ten thousand
acres? It is nearly ONE THIRD OF THE SIZE OF THE CITY
OF PORTLAND. It is equal tp EIGHTY-SVEN THOUSAND
TOWN LOTS, each 50x100 feet in size.
SCRIPPS IS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, ELSE HOW COULD
HE LIVE IN A MILLION-DOLLAR PALACE AND SPREAD HIM
SELF OVER TEN THOUSAND ACRES?
How does SCRIPPS manage to live in such KINGLY SPLEN
DOR near San Diego? THAT'S EASY. Every WAGE-EARNER
in Portland who reads the Daily News contributes THIRTY CENTS
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 PORTLAND'S WAGE-EARNERS, WHY DOES
HE STAND FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES AWAY AND ISSUE
ORDERS? WHY DOESN'T 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 MILLION
DOLLAR PALACE HE WOULD DO YOU THE HONOR OF
INFORMING THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE OUT OF WORK
AND WILL CHARGE . YOU THIRTY CENTS A MONTH FOR
THE INFORMATION. NO THIRTY CENTS, NO INFORMATION.
Serve your own interests by voting for
Simon and Prosperity on June 5th
For Mayor
