Farrington's reference to "the very
magnitude of the agitation which is
nation-wide for convictions in con-
nection with this trouble," was evi-
dently taken by Brundage as a sting-
ing criticism of the fact that the Illi-
nois chamber of commerce is subsi-
dizing Brundage's activities here.
Brundage said in reply. "The prose-
cution, representing the people, is
not assailing the miners' union, nor
is the prosecution a partisan to the
dispute between the operators and
miners."

When the talk of indictments first
started after the Herrin bloodshed
of June 21 and 22 Hunter stated that
William J. Lester, president, South-

There are two logical questions which (tccui to
every business man solicited for Leader advertising.
Thc first question is: "H hat will it cost me?**
The second is: "What will it briny me?'*
We can answer the first one definitely—in-
pendent of any other circumstance. Leader ads will
cost the merchant less than an ad in any other news-
paper in Oklahoma City.
We can answer the second, too. ft will briny
him more than any other advertising for which he
may pay the name, or even a much higher price.
We give the second answer with full confidence
—with confidence based upon observation and ex-
perience. We know our readers have been support-
ing the Leader, not alone by building up its circula-
tion, but also by making it profitable for business
men to use its advertising columns. We are sure
they will continue to do so, with increased vigor.
The advertising will come. The Leader's
friends will make sure that it stays.
