Partisans
Sirs:
In reading your magazine TIME recently I have grown to feel that your organization or your magazine is Democratic in its political viewpoint.
Your sarcastic references to President Hoover and other Republicans ... as well as other articles in TIME, cause me to raise this question.

Sirs:
In spreading the merits and entertaining quality of TIME, I have been opposed by people who maintain TIME is a Republican magazine. Is this true, or is TIME nonpolitical? I can't help adding to this letter that I think TIME is great! It is as entertaining as it is newsy.

Sirs:
Do you actually favor the candidacy of Herbert Hoover? If you say that you do, will you explain the inconsistency of your present advocacy and your very evident attitude of four years ago when you secretly opposed his nomination?. . . .
Finally, are you Wet like Senator Bingham, or Dry like Mr. Curtis, or both like Mr. Hoover?

Sirs:
Your animus against the President is becoming more evident and is displeasing to many people. I think that the continuance of the useful place that you have made for yourselves will depend very largely upon your ability to present the news without prejudice or bias. . . . R. H. CLARK

Sirs: Please cancel the subscription of H. Glenn Lewis when it expires. We are disappointed in TIME, in that it is not the non-partisan periodical we had felt the need of, but one using its influence to lead our country into the jeopardy of leadership of a party pledged to the repeal of the 18th Amendment and whose hazardous policies might mean ruin at the present time. . . .

Sirs:
We certainly enjoy your clear and fool-proof accounts of the progress of the national election each week. I note that some people have accused you of being pro-Roosevelt, etc. What do they want you to do? Publish a garbled account of the trend of the times, and soft-pedal the fact that the country is on a great Democratic tidal wave? If you did that very thing you would destroy the very thing that makes TIME the one magazine that so many of us depend on for a real account of what has happened. A very common remark these days is, Let's wait and see what TIME has to say about it.. . . JAMES HIGGENBOTTOM

Sirs:
... In working one's way through college, the student has not much time for daily news items and must cast his lot with one periodical. I have chosen TIME.
It seems to be more important to be informed of all the truth than merely the presentation of "the highest type of statesmanship.''
In speaking of a Louisiana swamp, one might as well say "don't talk about mosquitoes, think of all the beautiful birds."
