The Goodhue County News, edited
by as bright, learned and clever news
paper man as there is in the Weston
East eithey-confesses to ignorance
about Hearst, excepting what Hearst 8
papers say. Strange when it is pos
sible to know Hearst Just by reading
the republican press, especially the
monopoly controlled organs Of the
East. The wise reader can find, by
careful persual of these papers,
more good reasons in favor Of Hearst
than he can find in all the Hesrst
papers. When it 1s analysed and
digested the Hearst opposition goes
far deeper and is based on more i'm
portsnt ground than the nonsense
about yellow journalism written
with malice afore thought and re-
peated by the unthinking. The op-
position recognizes in Hearst man
beyond their reach, an untiring and
relentless foe Of special privilege. OF
course they don't like him. Why
should they?

Albert Lea STANDARD: Inc fepQDl1-

preventing the democrats from nomi-
mating congressman Hearst, and being
unable to urge any facts against him
which will prejudice the people have
opened their sewer of personal abuse.
The Pioneer Prese. owned and pub

corporations and trusts. has published
a contemplate and scurrilous editor
ial from the Evening Post, a New
York organ OF the same influence. 1t
is deplorab]e that the only newspaper
Of either party in the state which
would reproduce it should be the
heretofore democratic st. Cloud
Times
The fact chat Mr.. Hearst was
elected to congress in New York
district by a majority about three
times larger than any candidate ever
before received in that district is
sufficient endorsement of this remark
able mans personal standing, charac-
ter and ability. It is shame that a
pretended democratic newspaper
should give currency to such palpably
false calumny dipped from a republi-
can organ of monopoly. ouch as the
Fost has long notoriously been.

FRANK DAY ON HEARST

FRANK DAY ON HEARST
Fairmont Sentinel: Mr.. Hearst is
unquestionably one Of the most re-
markable characters of the age. His
masterful achievements in the news
paper field, his heroalean warfare
against lawless trusts, his princely
benefactions in cases of great disas-
ter, lis broad and comprehensive
grasp of all the great problems effect
Ing the nations welfare, together
with spotless life and character 6t
him for q place Of great usefulness in
the political world and possibly in
later years q position at the head Of
our government. MIR. 4, Hearst must
henceforth be reckoned with as a
mighty factor in our national politics
and coarse and brutal attacks upon
his name and fame will only tend to
strengthen his following.
