What the Editors Say

Inc Gazette can see no good in the
newspaper abuse of either Col r. c.
Dunn or Judge Collins. or accusing
either one of them of being men rep
resenting corporations. We are and
nave been personally acquainted with
DOTH OF them for many years and can
say that if either gentleman receives
the nomination and election he will
fearlessly and justly administer the
duties OF the office of governor. We
are for Mr.. Dunn because he has so
poidly and always taken a stand for
the people against corporate interests.
and know that if he is elected he will
continue to, while his knowledge of
the interests of the state is probably
equaled by few men in the state.
But this does not prevent us from

In his district who think they can do
the country great service in congress,

right to membership in the State Edi- =
tor1al association. Brother Pease is on
the right track. Bona fide newspaper
men have been given a back seat and
upper berthS on many an editorial
trip to make room for some party who
had nothing more to do with the news
paper profession than to furnish the
supplies incidental to the newspaper
business.-Blue Earth County Enter

If there be a desire of Democrats to
go back to the good old times of the
past for platform, why not revert to
this extract from the speech of Samuel

Booker T. Washington is right when
he says that the burning Of negroes at
the stake by armed mobS is more in

them than to the black race to which
