POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF CERTAIN NEWSPAPERS

All newspapers are accorded a political influence
in the opinion many people far out of proportion to
the fact exceeding that accredited to the news
papers by newspaper themselves. Because the eX
relationship of the to political activities
is so little understood the Nonpartisan League started
large number of in this state for the pur
pose of using spreading party propaganda That
they failed of their purpose is matter of common
observation the Duluth Advertiser recently made the
following detailed analysis of the relationship between
newspapers and election results
obviously, the original purpose of league news
papers influence electons-what else were they
for? But did they? Let's
I'm Kitson county, where there league news
paper in 1920, Preus carried the county with good
safe Margin in the adjoining county of Roseau, where
there was no league paper Shipstead carried Marshall
county league paper went for Shpsead, while
county with it's league went for Preus; in
Pennington county, where there league
newspaper Shpsead carried almost two and in
Red Lake county also without league newspaper sup
port Shipstead victorious Norman county with the
league in the district went for Preus
Mahnomen county, which had newspaper office, but
really no newspaper speak Shpsead carried Clay
county with league paper, went strong for Preus and
Becker county, with the oldest league newspaper in
Minnesota, for Preus Wilkin county, without a
league paper for Preuswhich county must be the
exception that the ruleand Otter Tail county
where the league farmers had daily paper mind you
went for Preus by large margin.
"In regard to the legislative candidates in these
various districts Ninth may be added the cleo
ton very much along the same line with
disadvantage to league candidates wherever there were
league newspapers.
.The only conclusion arrive at, is that cap
itaism in this pro-
motion game. 1t should be investigated"

The Public

Writer'S speakers propagandists, and politicians de-
light in quoting the public expressing popular sentl-
ment and citing general demands. The question as to
what constitutes the public is natural one says the
Grant County Herald Perhaps intelligent deh-
milton given than that of Lee A White of the
Detroit (Mich) News who states,
1.-THE sagacous editor is surer of nothing more GER
tain than public is represented neither by the
Dill Pickle club nor the Chamber of Commerce, neither

My attention has been called to
the fact that story has been cir
culated throughout the County to the
effect that do not like Stanley Ryan

I paid his filing fees.
There is absolutely no truth in

me and never gave him one cent
toward his filing or campaign ex-
penses.
My purpose in publishing this
statement is to advise the people of

no truth in the above story and also
to undo the injustice that may have
been done Henry Gaffney through
the circulation of this story.
My best wishes are with my

ing any other candidate and only ask
all fair minded people of this County
to resent this attempt to draw me in
to this Campaign.
Yours very truly,

THE THINGS THAT COUNT

Not what we have, but what we use;
Not what we seem, but what we are;
These are the things that mar or bless
The sum of human happiness.
The things near by, not things afar;
Not what we seem, but what we are;
These are the things that make or break,
That give the heart its joy or ache.
Not what seems fair, but what is true;
Not what we dream, but good we do;
These are the things that shine like gems,
Like stars in Fortunes diadems.
Not as we take, but as we give;
Not as we pray, but as we live;
These are the things that make for peace,
Both now and after Time shall cease.

For the time being Democracy
has the spotlight and its glare
is conferred on a bunch of last
minute filings that threatens to
tear the unterrified assunder.
The big talk is the unexpected
and last minute entrance of
Thomas ]. Meighen of Preston
as a candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for United States
senator in opposition to Mrs.
Peter Olesen. the convention
nominee and the further addi-
ton of George L. Siegel as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for attorney general.
Both have a political record
that is strongly tinctured with
radicalism. Mr.. Meighen's ap-
pearance on the scene started
tongues wagging. Some of the
gossips had it that the Meighen
filing was in the interest of the
Farmer-Labor crowd with DR..
Shipstead the Nonpartisan
League candidate for senator
as the beneficiary while others
contended that it was for the
purpose of securing control of
the state organization for presi-
dental campaign purposes two
years hence. That there was
something in the latter was seen
in the prompt completion of the
Democratic ticket following Mr..
Meighen's filing. Unquestion-
ably Mrs. Olesen and her hackers
regard the Meighen fling as an
affront and judging from present
activities they are preparing to
resent it and motives behind it
in no uncertain way. Politically
