The Oklahoma City Times, the Re-1
publican organ of Oklahoma City, was |
sold at public sale ia Oklahoma Cil^ ,
yesterday to satisfy a $50,000 mort- j
gage held by the Union Trust com-
pany, and was bid in by the Oklahoma \
Publishing company, publishers of thej
Oklahoman, for $35,000. The Oklaho-
man will continue its publication as an I
evening edition of the Oklahoman
For years and years, ever since the
Browns sold the paper, it has been j
going down and down and down m the |
confidence of the Republicans of the I
state, having little standing at home]
or abroad as an exponent of Republi-i
can doctrines. It was known a large
portion of its stock was owned by tne
Oklahoman and leading Democrats oft
Oklahoma City, which destroyed it as |
a Republican paper. When John j
Fields and Frank Northrup purchasedi
it about a year ago, the change was |
hailed with rejoicings by Republicans,
all over the state, and they made a !
fine paper of it. But even they could)
not bred!, the hoodoo, and had to give
it up. The burden was too great, j
Then Tom Latta tried to make it a go, I
but he, too, failed.
It is just as well. No one could
make the Times a Republican paper in
the seise that it would obtain and
i-etain the confidence of the people. It
