The hold-up by the newspapers Of
the smaller towns in this State has
been proportionately large, aud we
venture the prediction that very
few candidates for the legislature
who had opposition, came out OF the
campaign without having expended
more that they received from Que OF
two legislative sessions.
Whatscan the people expect unde1
this pernicious system? If candi
dates for county. legislative ant
congressional Offices are to be hel(
up by newspapers and for ware
heelers' for more than they actually
receive from the emOluments of tn,
office, are we to have honest men t,
fill these places? Is it not human
for them to get at least more thar
their expenses out of the Offices, an(
if they cannot get it by means tina
are fair, are they not likely to re
sort to other practices? This il
submitted to the fair and candle
jud gment of any voter and tax pave
in the State.
Considering this awful newspap
err graft in the cities, is it then an
wonder that The Dispatch, Away
on the lookout for its personal pc
cuniary interests, would attack M 4
Bennett for making a truthful stat
ment on the floor of the house? Tht
attack is in line with the Dispatchs
every other attack on other mef-
bers of the house and senate wo
have differed with it on matters pc
tanning to the Dispatch S persoral
welfare, and when it is consider q
that both branches of the Legislature
were organized in direct oppositPn
to the wishes of The Dispatch, II
must be admitted that there are a
large number of people who differ
with the editor of that paper On
matters pertaining to the affairs OF
the State.
Those who have been the clos'S'
associates of Mr.. Bennett in ne
house will bear THE GAZETTE out III
the statement that he is one of ne
ablest representatives of the pes
ent session. He is always fair; DC
is plain and outspoken, and wien
he speaks he speaks 10 the p'ln'
and with a thorough knowledg, O
what he is speaking about II Is
folly for even the Dispatch or any
newspaper to belittle his efforts or
the floor in behalf of the people O
his section and the entire State ,anc
the sooner the Dispatch admitsthl'
the better will it be for its owr In
terests.

PERSONAL TO THE DISPATCH.

1t is a noticeable fact that no mat
ter how large corporation, an in
dividual or a newspaper has grown,
it can never rise above its own per-
sonal interests. This is the case
and exceptionally so, as regards our
excellent contemporary, the st. Paul
Dispatch.
For some time past The Dispatch
has been the special champion of
the State Capitol Commission, and
it's renewed request for the addi-
tional appropriation of 81, 800, 600, to
be used in the further completion of
the new State Capitol. This will
make total of 81, 500, 600 that the
State has already appropriated for
this purpose, Notwithstanding the
fact that only two years ago the
commission declared that they would
complete the building for the addi
tional 81, 100000 granted at that SEES
sion of the legislature. When some
of the members from the country at
tempted to secure the adoption of
an amendment to the bill, legislat
ing the commission out of Office on
Dec. 31st, 1904, the Dispatch, hav-
ing it's own personal interests at
stake, Immediately commenced to
abuse those members and all people
whom 1t suspected as having the
least bit of sympathy with their
proposition. The proposition of
these members was certainly not an
unfair one. The commission them
selves had stated, after their brCk
en- promise of two years ago, that
they would have the building COM
pleted by Jan. l. 1908, and these
members who, seeking to protect
| the interests of their constituents
and not have an additional request
come at the 1905 session, attempted
to secure the adoption of the amend
ment, which was absolutely fair,
but The Dispatch attacked them un-
mercifully and frequently unjustly.
Still another case in point was
it's uncalled for abuse of Represen-
tative B. S. Bennett of Fosston.
When Mr.. Bennett was talking on
the proposed amendment to the pri-
mary election law, he stated what
was undoubtedly true, that if the
members of the house were allowed
to vote according to their own per-
sonal feelings, the primary election
law would be repealed. Mr. Ben
nett further stated, what must also
be admitted as absolutely true, that
the present primary law is nothing
more than a hold-up of candidates,
and that no poor man can expect to
run for a nomination, unless he has
the field absolutely to himself He
further stated that it was a news
paper graft and THE GAZETTE is,
in this connection, what it has been
ever since the law was enacted, fair
, in admitting that there is more truth
than poetry in what Mr.. Bennett
stated on that day.
From reliable sources THE GA
ZETTE has been informed that the
big daily newspapers of ST. Paul
and Minneapolis cleaned up during
the last primary election campaign
all the way from $4,000 to $50, 900
each in holding up candidates for
announcements and for advertising
space in their respective papers.
