NOT HrlpfIl TO HEARST.

The Dallas News today contains 8
report of Hearst meeting held In
that city last night, the proceedings,
and the utterances of the principal
speaker, being such rs to weaken
their candidate in the estimation OF
clear minded democrats. Mr.. K. q.
Senter, formerly editor Of the Fort
Worth Gazette, was the speaker Of
the occasion, His remarks, as re-
reported by the News, we're directed
chiefly against the newspapers and
the Associated Press. He scored
the leading dailies of the state for
their support of Parker, and advo-
Gated a $4,000 tax on papers using
the Associated Press reports. He
denounced the Associated Press and
Mr.. Melville Stone, head of that
concern, as the greatest monopolist
and the most soulless in the coun-
try, who gave the people just such
news as he wanted them to have,
and thai highly colored. Every per.
son in any way conversant with the
work of the ASSOCIATED Press, and
it's methods of gathering, news
knows that Mr.. Senter's accusation
is not only unjust, but absolutely
untenable. Every newspaper read
err, who keeps abreast of the times,
knows that he must depend upon
the Associated Press for the cor
rectness of the happenings detailed
in his daily papers, and he further
knows that not one time in a thous-
and is this agency caught with a
fake story or an absolutely incorrect
statement of facts. In fact, its very
existence is dependent on telling the
news without color or favor.
The proposition TO place a tax of
so ,0m on newspapers nsing this
service, or a tax of any amount, is
unworthy any man claiming to be
democrat. 1t is not only violative
of the federal constitution, but in di-
rect opposition to the teachings of
every democratic statesman from
Jefferson down.
Certainly the expressions and pro-
ceedings of this Dallas Hearst club
are not to be taken as representative
of the Hearst campaign in Texas!
