portions Of his article. 5's3
Mr.. Mencken was induced to write
his expose by Upton Sinclair's philippe
against the reptile press Of our country
recently published under the somewhat
fanciful title of ..The Brass Check.
Referring to some Of DIR. Sinclair's
statements, Mencken says: ct the
best OF my knowledge and belief, the
average American newspaper, even of
the so-called better sort, is not only
quite as bad as DR.. Sinclair SAYS it is
but ten times worse ten times as
Ignorant, ten times as unfair and
tyrannical, ten times as complaisant

devious, hypocritical, disingenu S.

u For the purpose Of satisfying all,

the expected campaign contributions,
semblance Of party platform was
adopted. Some Of the planks in this
so-called platform are decidedly dis
honest in their intent, and since PreJs
is to lead the ticket, the voters will be
inclined to question his political honesty
as we'll. i
The convention went on record
for "fair and equitable tonnage tax, Z
whatever that is. If it means a tax
that will be considered fair and Sequit--

Preus has, in the past, had close con-
nections, then it means a law that is
not intended to be effective and Preus
and his supporters are dishonest IN try
ing to convince the people that they are
for real tonnage tax. If 1t means
such a law as the people have repeatedly
asked for, the convention and their
choice for gubernatorial honors are
dishonest in not supporting the man
of their ranks who has openly stated
that he is in favor of a tonnage tax law

session. of the Legislature. AS
Thomas Frankson certainly does not

at the June primaries.
But instead Of adopting this course,

way stem the tide of success from rolling

Official paper of New Ulm, MINI.
.UnaduHered American1isn,.

In these times of much talk about
Americanism, which, as matter OF
fact is but the cloak under which IS
hidden despicable reactionary intent,
it affords a real American genuine
pleasure to read the stirring declaration
of Americansim made by DR.. Henrik
Shipstead upon filing for the Republican
nomination for governor Of Minnesota
as the farmer-labor candidate.
The ideals of. American citizenship
and the Americanism of the Declare
ton of independence have been rudely
shattered and trampled under foot
during the past few years by the plum
derbund politicians who have held
arbitrary power in our grand old state
and have used this arbitrary power to
curtail and in some instances to abro-
gate the rights and privileges guaran-
teed the Individual citizen by 1.-THE
state and national Constitution.
Men are endowed with certain in
alienable rights, according to the De-
claration of Independence as promul-
gated by our forefathers, and among
these ights are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
Contrast these humanitarian senti-
ments with the mis-labeled Amer
icanism of Burnquist, Preus and the
Steel Trust, and it will be easily seen
that the two ideals have no similarity
whatever.
Among the rights guaranteed every
citizen of the United States and of the
state of Minnesota are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
Life, an inalienable right, yet mob
of people, held by Burnquist and his
gang Of plunderers to be imbued with
real Americanism, breaks into the
home of an aged couple and drags them
forth into the night, subjecting them
to such treatment that they die from
its effects.
Liberty, an inalienable right, yet
under the reign of terror instituted by
our own king Yosef'' and his bench
men, no man was free to call his soul
his own. Any remark rejecting dis
credit upon the junkers of Minnesota
was sufficient cause for confinement
behind prison bars. Private property
also became the property Of the plum
derbund, and their agents travelled about
the state, confscating the crops of
those who had offended the king"

American Press AnGlyzed.
The American public is entitled to
know what kind Of press it is that is
trying to direct it's political and economic
destinies. It is not only entitled to
know this, but it is its duty to inform
itself on this important subject when
ever there is an opportunity to do so.
One Of the most vivid, picturesque and
damaging analyses of what u is the
matter with the American press is con
tanned in an article by III. L. Mencken
in the April number Of the Smart Set.
Mr.. Mencken has been in almost con-
slant practise as a Journalist since 1899
and, therefore, is entitled to be heard

Americanism Is an issue in the pre-
sent political campaign in Minnesota
as well as throughout the United States.
1t is now up to the voters of this state
to decide whether they wish to be
governed according to the American
ism of Thomas Jefferson, the author
of the Declaration Of Independe the
Americanism Of Abraham Lincoln, who
could bear to see no man, not even a
negro, enslaved, or according to the
mis-labeled Americanism of the money
ocracy as upheld in Minnesota by Gov
ernor Joseph A. A. Burnquist, Judge
MCGEE and the many small-minded
and srnall-calibered men and women
who applauded their assaults upon real
Americanism.
eve shall restore the Minnesota that
we knew the Americanism that we
love-" is the promise OF DR.. Henrik
Shipstead and every other candidate On
the progressive ticket. There is moth
ing new or dangerous in this declara-
ton, despite the fact that the kept
press rails about the uncertainties
of ''socialistic experiments. In the
whole statement we can find nothing
that justifes continuation of Burn
auistian "Americanism" because OF
the predetermined dangers OF Socialism.
If the restoration of the rights OF men
for which our forefathers fought and
bled and died is dangerous and Socialis-
tic, then why extol the virtues OF the
individuals who led the fight for these
rights?
If George Washington, Thomas JET
ferson, Abraham Lincoln and all OF
the other real Americans were Socialists,
we cannot be frightened by the appll-
cation of the word at this time.
