p’tom jtonored Indiana Citizens.I Benjamin Harrison—I slmil be glad ro .see The Press. You• ought io know how to make a good paper, and I am sure have that purpose. .Mr. Holliday has been out of the newspaper J business long enough to get the outside view, which is impor-® tant. 1 wish you success. You will want to aid in the forma*JJ tion of a sound public sentiment, but will not. I hope, attempt J to govern. Do not forget that there are intelligent and well-J meaning people not engaged in newspaper work.• Senator Charles \V. Fairbanks—The Press gives promise• of success and usefulness. The standard of the newspapers of• Indianapolis Has been exceptionally high, and the proprietors• of The Press are the most abundant assurance that it will• mairta'ti the same standard. Its held and opportunity are am-• pb*. and its career. f think, will he notable and serviceable.Senator Albert J. Beveridge— It is not fair to say that The• Press is certain of success; for it is already a success. It comes :• into existence like Minerva, The Goddess of Wisdom and War,£ fully equipped. It is not a new venture; for the strength of a• newspaper, after all, is in the confidence the people have in the• men behind it. The* men behind The Press are known, loved• and trusted by tlie people. The Press has the confidence of the• people, because its owners and editors, during their lifetimes,J have deserved that confidence and have never forfeited it. To• retain that confidence, it will have to be accurate and honest,• and broad and fair, and absolutely fearless in its editorial pol-• icy. It will have to be the courageous champion of the people's• rights without a suspicion of monetary influence on the one• hand, or of demagogical considerations on the other hand. The• people's xpectatious arc* tremendously aroused, and The Press J ;• will have to justify thbse expectations.

Mount-—The starting of a new paperI under the leadership of such noted journalists as John H. Hoi-• liday and Major Richards gives assurance of a paper that will• find a prominent place in the journalistic world. Both men are• able and conscientious, and will give to the public hot only the1 news and able discussion of the topics of the day. but a paper• that will be uniformly fair on all public questions.• Representative Jesse Overstreet—I look to see The Press• one of the greatest newspapers of the Mississippi Valley. From J the day it was announced that it would start, I had no doubt of2 its success. The experience and standing of the founders are 2 such as to secure for it the .confidence of the public.
