LET GO At THAT.

| Wv - tJ~Vs
When on the morning of publica
ton day a few weeks ago it wa
learned that the front of the Wilma
Tribune office had been painted vel
low the Republican Gazette made n,
mention Of the incident.
The morning after the paper wa
out Mr. Lawson called the office an.
feelingly expressed his appreciation
of the fact that this newspaper hat
made no mention OF the unf0rtunat,
incident. He was assured that ther'
had been no thought of mentioning
it. He then said that it had Offered
an opportunity that the Republican
| Gazette could have taken advantag,
| Of. He was assured that the Re
publican Gazette had not thought o
taking advantage of it.
However, in the next issue of tn.
played up in most astonishing
story so phrased as to make it al
appeal to passion and prejudice.
1t was doubly so in effect whe1
weighed in connection with the Trib
une's report in the same issue Of
the nonpartisan league parade II
which the following tout and out
appeal was made.
when the parade arrived at
Willmar there were over three
hundred autos in line. No
stop was made owing to threats
which had been made and circu-
lated as to what would happen
here. 1t was thought best to
avoid trouble, If possible, so the
cars sailed right thru and left
no spoken message at Willmar. A
number of people disgraced them
selves by pulling off banners and
hurting gibes at the paraders."
This statement was absolutely I'M
justified. If the Tribune chose to
make any reference to possible dis
turbance it owed it to the people par
ticipating in the parade as we'll as
to the people of the city and com.
munity to explain that such reports
were without real foundation in
fact.
The Republican Gazette chose to
make no reference to this incident
more than to publish the Commercial
Club resolutions as requested to do.
The Republican Gazette did not
choose to make this unfortunate in.
cident the subject Of editorial dis
cussion.
The Tribune had the opportunity
to overcome to some extent the pre-
JUDGE that it's position had created,
but it simply published the CONNER
cial Club resolutions without COM
ment and allowed it's appeal to pas
sion and prejudice to stand incorrect
ed except as the resolution offered
an explanation.
The Republican Gazette did not
choose to comment on this situation.
However, when the incident was
played up on the front page of the
Minnesota (nonpartisan) Leader In an
impassioned appeal to the prejudices
of the people of the northwest the
Republican Gazette chose to comment
on that and did so.
There Is no necessity for further
the position taken by the Gazette.
The people of the county are compe
