Whitelaw Reid discusses an issue addressed in a previous letter from Nicholas Murray Butler and comments that everything depends on General Hubbard. Reid believes that, regardless of the newspaper’s prospects, it will reach a wider circulation than other Republican newspapers. It is lonely to be a supporter of the current administration in New York newspapers and it would be wrong to substitute “a perfunctory for a zealous support.”
