TIE following interview in the
FERGUS Falls Journal with Hon.
John L. Gibbs disposes of the story
that he would not lend hearty sup.
port to the Republican candidate for
Governor; and at the same time
gives the views of practical farmer
upon the situation
Il am here for the purpose of meet
ing and thanking my friends for tn
hearty support which they gave me
both before and in the state conven-
ton. 1 am under great obligations
to Grant and Otter Tail cOua ties,
which not only gave me their solid
votes as long as there was any hope
of my nomination, but they gave me
a hearty and enthusiastic support
aside from their votes. I want to
increase my obligation to them bv
asking them to give Mr.. McGill and
the whole Republican ticket their
hearty support. The Republican
plat form embodies all the principles
which was advocating in my can
vass, and McGill stands squarely
upon that platform. I have known
him for twenty years, and I know
him to be an honest, conscientious
and upright man, as we'll as a man of
good business, and executive ability.
l have the utmost confidence that
he will give an administration of
public affairs which will prove satis.
Factory to the farmers, laboring
men, and, in fact, every class of good
citizens i'll this st; tie. He is a man

"What about the millers' associa-

''This is nothii y but a bugbear.
This charge has been made against
too many candidates and is getting a
little stale. Why. when W as 4 cam

the same charge WAS sprung on me
by my opponents. and Thad to meet

Jeurned don't think there was any,
one who though was very much in
league with the wheat rings and
railroads. Some of the millers are
known to be h is friends and sup
porters, yet it is not because they
think he can b q used rs tool, but
because they considered him good
business ma and will conduct the
affairs of the state in a business-like
manner. A hd, by the way, to be a
good govern Tor man does not neces-
sarily have GO be- political speaker,
but a man of good judgement and
dlscrlminat ion and one who has the
interests OF, the, people at heart. 1
believe Mc'Gill is that kind of man.
While he will undoubtedly listen to
everybody he will be run by no one,
and there will be no power behind

or himself in every sense of the
word.

which he does and backed by the
men who are chan pioning his case.
The moral sentiment especially is
very high, and they believe in cur
failing, combining eradicating vice as
much as possible, and this is big
factor in the campaign. l have not
the least doubt but what McGill will
be elected by majority which will
surp rise the people of this state"
