The Time* wants to make its

ially in Cimarron county. Then-
has been considerable talk in re-
gard to th<- portion this paper
wax taking in the interest of par-
ticular candidates for oouoty seat
honors in that county.
We will state emphatically that
we have no interests of any kind
in one town above another and it
is appreciated by all acquainted
with the situation and especially
those who have been doing the
kicking and howling about The
Times' position that thin paper
has a large c irculation, in facta
larger circulation in Cimarron
than the combined circulation of
all other papers printed and cir-
culated in that county. And for
that reason the paper is a good
advertising medium. The Times
has space for -<ale and any town
■ an get it by paying th« regular
advertising rate. However, we do
not run a newspaper for the fun
and glory that'i in it and the town
that wants to use th<- paper s col-
umns for an.v decent advertising
will always tind them open to
their use at tegular advertising
rates.
This statement i.- mad>' solely
for the purpo*e of enlightening
the reader* of the paper in the
matter and not because of any
threats that have been made
against the paper or its editor.
Very respectfully.
