The Minneapolis Journal lost
a lot of it's prestige in Minnesota
by reason of the contemplate
campaign it conducted against
Robert G.. Dunn before the con-
vention. It is now pursuring the
same tacticts and before the
election is over the Journal will
be the most despised paper in the
state if it continues as it has set
out. While protesting to re
pudiate Mr.. Dunn on the high
grounds that he is not fit for the
office of governor, the Journal
resorts to all that is little and low
in it's campaign against the re-
publican nominee. No demo
cratic paper in the state ever
assailed a republican candidate
as does the Journal; democratic
papers have too much respect
for themselves to resort to the
shifty trickery Of the Journal.
