ONLY GAME
OF COMBINE
Will the good citizens of this great and progressive state
of Oklahoma, in a nation where liberal education, freedom of
the press and increased cost of living are preached from the
same platform—stand for the latest intrusion of the Staft'ord-
Gaylord newspaper combine, backed by the "interests," and
against the masses of the people—especially when it is ad-
mitted by all sound business men, that there is absolutely no
field or need for another free distribution daily newspaper in
Oklahoma City?
WOULD INCREASE SUBSCRIPTION.
"To put The Pointer out of business," is this newspaper
combine's sole ambition. If—they were able to accomplish Wliinlw Mnn „ r A Iqm| n,w,
their hoerish desires, the people of Oklahoma would imme- paper prim* a story today that «•• i«

ganlless of what this band of vampires
ateops to ilo—providing It gets the support
©f the people. If the people are unable
to see through thin del literals, cold-blooded
plot to tear down, an attempt to even-
tually ruin an Institution, that hag been
the real true friend of the masses the
publishers of The Dally Pslnter will be
greatly deceived.
MANSES WILL PAY.
In case the newspaper combine should
succeed, and by their underhand methods.
Inconvenience The l>a 1 ly Pointer, It will
l e at the expense of the masses—the man
who earns his bread by the sweat of his ,
brow.
PRIC K IS PROHIBITIVE.
To the man who supporia a family on
$1.75 per day, fifty cents per month sub-
scription for The Dally Oklahouian. Is
prohibitive. Fifty rents, which this poor
man < an not spend for subscription, will
buy fifteen loaves o' bread -enough to
run an ordinary family a whole week. The
Dally Pointer is, and always has been,
the friend of the masses, and without It
thousands weuld sufhT. It has always
been the friend of Oklahoma t'ity-—strlv- |
lug In every way to help build up the
metropolis Instead of tear it down. It|
is the friend of the merchant, who never!
h f.>r was afforded the opportunity of
reaching tlie masses with his bargains—
this same laborer at $l.7." per day who
r has to use hll tlfty oent pe; month sub-
scription to buy bread for his family.
1VI1.L lNAli.l'RATE INI'REASK.
The Dally uiilahoman will Inaugurate
nn Increase of 20 per cent on its adver-
tising rate on January 1, as It has done
Cver.v year for the last decade, lu the
last two years, merchants who were un-
able to stay In business, if they did not
advertise in this monopoly In the morn-
ing field, have been forced to stand for
this sboveup and take their medicine.
While this 40 per cent increase in price
of advertising has bivn made in the last
two years, the circulation and worth of
the Dally Oklaboman as an advertising
medium continues to depreciate day by
day. Its reputation lor principle, If it
ever had any, has gone t<> pieces—in fact.
It has beeu considered the one newspaper
"Joke" In the United States.
PRINT BETTER PAPERS.
In no other city on earth the sl*e of
Oklahoma City do people pay ns much
subscription and get less reading mat-
ter than In the Dally Oklaboman. Such
< ities as St. Joseph, Mo., Springfield, ill.,
f'olorado Springs, Pueblo. Colo., Topeka,
Wichita, lopllB and scores of other places
near Oklahoma City's size, all have news-
papers that sell for from twenty-five to
forty cents per month, and none of them
at fifty cents. And they print better
newspapers.
FIFTY-TWO PAPERS FOR 10 CENTS.
The Kansas City Star prints fifty-two
Issues per month—a morning and evening
paper, any one of its issues better than
the Oklahoman's best Issue, at only forty
cents per month. The Denver Post and
Kansas City Post each sell for two cents
per copy and are not to he compared with
:he Oklaboman. The Chicago Tribune, the
biggest and best newspaper in the United
K;ntes. with an average of twenty-four
to thirty pages, sells for only one cent
per copy. Tbe Oklaboman sells for a
nickel per copy.
COSTS DOLLAR AN INCH.
It costs small merebauts a dollar per
Inch now to place an advertisement In the
Daily Oklaboman, which claims only ap-
proximately G.0CK) circulation in Oklahoma
t'ity And this small merchant must pay
20 per cent more after January 1. The
Dally Pointer with more than three
times the circulation In Oklahoma City
charges this same little merchant from
forty to seveuty-five cents per inch. If
the Oklaboman can get a dollar per Inch
oow, with The Daily Pointer in the field—
tvhat wouldn't it do if it bad Tbe Daily
Pointer out of tbe field? The price
would he raised so high that only the
rich could buy.
WANT TO CONTROL.
Every underhanded method has been
used by tbe Stafford-Gaylord combing to
rontrol the newspaper situation In Okla-
lorna City.
E. Iv. Gaylord and other persons back-
ing tbe monopoly, bought the Tlmes-Jour-
j.al newspaper about three years ago. The
Dally Pointer was small then and didn't
tmount to much—the combine thought. All
(ha combine got for $88,000 in cash when
t bought tbe Times-Journal, was a frame
>n tbe wall containing ihe name of "The
&8Bo< iated Press." a typewriter or two,
in office de«k and the files ef the news-
>aper for several years back—worth ap-
roxlmately $500.

OKLAHOMAN'S OX
IS BEING GORED
When did the Dally Oklaboman ex-
perto-.ce so treat a chancre of heart?
The all hsj tally asserts tMt there
is a field, to wit, a "long felt want"
for another afternoon free daily news-
paper In Oklahoma City. Without
takinc valuable space to analyze this
claim down to its logical conclusion
of utter assinlnlty, lei us rely upon
ithe Oklahoman Itself to stsOe the
case.
On June 10. 1006. the Oklahoma City
Dally Post was launched as a morn-
ing paper. In its following lftaue
the Oklaboman printed & long edito-
rial on the newcomer. In which It
was belittled as a mere uiachlni organ
without a moral right to oils en<A in
the morning field and characterising
its editor. It. A. White, as a "bal-
looning newspaper man from I 1 Reno, '
who had recently "hit the ground"
In a dally newspaper ente prise In
that city. The Oklahoman boosted
of its tvlegraphic news se vice—the
Associated Press—as "the only press
service In existence which pretends ta
cover by telegraph the important news
happenings of the world," while all
oilier services were me* miserable
Imitations and utter failures. Vet Ihe
Oklaboman new propose* to publish a
free afternoon paper with a telegraphic
asrrlca which its editor then charac-
terized as "mlseruble failures."
The oklahoman says there Is *
"field" for their proposed afternoon
paper. Head what the oklahoman said
about this very subject fire years
ago when the Post dared to enter the
morning field. The following is
quoted ver batim:
1 ROM THE OKLAHOMAN
"Experience, the country over, has
demonstrated conclusively that not
more than I wo goed newspapers, one
morning and one evening, can be pub-
lished successfully in a city of less
than 100,000 population. There are,
perhaps, less thnn half a dozen cities,
none of them less than 75,000 popula-
tion. in which three good dallies are
printed, while there are approximate-
ly a hundred of more thsn lOu.OOfl
and less than i!00,000 In which but
two, oue a morning an tbe other an
evening, are successfully published.
• a • • it may ba doubted if It (Ok-
lahoma City) needs a second morning
paper any more than it needs a sec-
ond street car line up Broadway.
"The advent of a third daily does
not bring with it any new readers In
this city every intelligent persen is a
reader of either the Oklahoman or
the Times-Journal, or both, and the
new paper must either take Its rend-
ers from the other pnpers or the peo-
ple must take time to read one more
paper, which can give them no addi-
tional news."
Now tbe question Is: Will the
Daily Hogonlan place itse'.f In the
attitude with the proverbial doctor
who prescribed for the diseases of
others, but steadfastly refused to take
his own medicine?

The Dally Pointer respectfully submits
the following "numerous and cogent"
questions concerning the mntter Most of
the answers may be found by reading be-

1. Why didn't the oklahoman, In Ita

backed by the American Publishers' Ah
sochitlou in an earnest effort to "put The

2. Why docs the Oklahoman believe
there is room in a field that was i ver
before so well supplied as right now?
II. Why, if it lins suddenly come to ,'cPorted th:
