The man who wants to keep posted on
the general political news of the day
cannot afford to be without the G o b e.
1T Is the only newspaper printed in the
Twin Cities that prentends to print the
Democratic, as well as the Republican,
news. If you depend on q Republican
newspaper for anything the national
Democratic campaign managers are do
Ing, you Will get left. You will find it
has been left out entirely or shaded to
suit the sentiment Of the paper in which
1t appears. A number Of the readers Of
the G e become disgrunted after the
Kansas City convention, and refused to
nave anything more to do with their
| old friend. Some of them have returned
to their old favorite. Others will do
so as soon as they discover that what
they want is to be found in the G o b e,
and the G o b only. 1t does not pay
! for man to ''cut off his nose to spite

largely in demand than any morn

cept one. Those who call for 1t and
read it know why So far as the Sunday

The Reform aPress bureau will contain

The managers of the Republican cam
paign in this state, seem to understand
that they are not likely to be in a posi-
! ton to brag after the election, so they
are doing their talking now. while they
may. They follow the tactics of two
| years ago, whistle to keep their courage
! up. claim everything, and indulge In in
nuendo regarding Some awful things
which they know about Gov. Lind, but
which they do not want to tell. Just now
| they are trying to, brace themselves UP
| by claiming to- have made great gains
| among the country newspapers. By Jug
! Cling facts and figures their press. agent
is able to comfort his party with rec
ord of surprisingly many newspaper

favor of the Republicans. By CHASING as
independent some papers, that are DEM
ocratic without calling themselves so, he
shows that the Democratic gain has been
small. Then, by asserting that some of
! the Republican papers of two years ago
were Independent then and are Republi-
lean now, he figures out large gains for
! the g. OPP By the system followed 1t

Dispatches have been sent out to the
imperialist organs IN other parts of the
country with the triumphant announce
/ ment that twenty-feur of the newspapers
! in the state are supporting ic,., Mckinley
now, though they were for Bryan in 1896.
The announcement is grossly misleading.
/ Its purpose Is, Ito convey the impression
that a number of EDITORS and publishers
/ have experienced a. change Of heart In
4 favor Of Mckinley, AS q matter of fact
! there is nowhere a record of a single
country newspaper which, in 1896, sup
| ported Bryan. and which now has changed
| to Mckinley, except where ownership has
| changed; and of papers that have
changed hands fully as many have be-
come Democratic as the reverse. OF the
| thirty new papers established within the
/ past year the Republicans claim only
| about two-thirds, which would mean that
the usual proportion between Republican
| and Democratic papers in this state has
been maintained The only really i'm
portant changes, of. influential papers in
important towns have been in favor OF
the reform fofceS.T
/ There are, MOI doubt, quite number Of
new papers that have been started with
"a sack of type" and a small encourage
ment' from the Hanna committee. In one
Of the counties there are two such great
Republican, acquisitions in two little
i towns a mile apart and have less than
| 100 Inhabitants. In, another instance Of
| which the Republicans are proud. they
| have gained a little paper which was
| Democratic by buying it. The publisher
was shrewd enough to sell on good terms
! and use part of the money for another
| plant and put the rest by for rainy day.
| AS to the actual facts, they are these:
| In 1896 we had in the state fffty-eight
| straightout Democratic and reform pa
pers supporting the Chicago platform
| and nominees, and we had twenty six
| others that were with US in part. In the
| state campaign of 1896 we had the active
| and reliable support of 115 papers. We
| have now. after the Kansas City conven-
! ton. straightout Democratic papers to
| the number Of 112, and sixty-fve papers
more mostly independent" that are
| ernmorting Gov Lind and his administra-
tetton many IF them supporting Bryan
also. or a total Of 1T papers that are
working with us in the interest of good
