Announcement The American Issue Publishing Company announces that on January 1,1913, it will launch a new National Weekly The New Republic A six-column, four page blanket sheet, designed to appeal largely to the oppressed: those who suffer at the hands of the saloon— as most of us do suffer in one way or another. The new paper will deal with matters of national interest and will be under the editorial management of William E. Johnson Late Chief Officer of the United States Indian Service r I ^HE paper will be of the “fighting kind” but it will fight I nothing but the saloon power and kindred evils. It will be the ally of everyone who would wipe the saloon off the map of the county, state, and nation. This sort of a paper has been the dream of \||||l/ Mr. Johnson and his friends for eight years. It now becomes a hIk reality and will be a tremendous power for good. Mr. Johnson’s long record on various Prohibition periodicals; as an author and pamphleteer; his record on the frontier in the Indian service in which he secured 3,400 convictions of liquor men is a guarantee that the war will be carried “into Africa.” The Paper for the People We want to place The New Republic by every American fireside. Send in a dollar and get the paper for yourself and three friends. Get up a club and watch the fur fly'. If you don’t like the paper, send them back and we will return your money, just as the patent medicine man does. We are on the verge of a new deal; get in on the ground floor.
