We were promised "protection" and that should a selection be made this paper, the home paper of the university, would be given the first opportunity to publish it.
Dr. Upham came to Boise and to Moscow, spent several days here, went to Spokane with board, returned to Ohio, paper, knowing the full facts, made no mention of his visit, because the university had requested it.
The paper would be the first to be given the facts, and this paper, still asked to keep "quiet for a few days", was "scooped" by almost every paper in the west because the story of the selection of a president of the university at Moscow published at Boise, Lewiston, Spokane, and on the coast before it was published in Moscow.
Some time ago it was decided to give a public inaugural for President Upham. This paper, with the service at the university, learned of the plans, but again the "soft pedal" was applied and the paper press was requested to suppress the story until after the legislature adjourned.
It was thought best to not mention it until the adjournment of the legislature which has been regarded as hostile to the university.
Again this paper "toted fair" and "relying upon the promises of fair and honest treatment in spite of what had happened on previous occasions, "fell for it" and  Again got what it had been handed before.
