JOEL p HeATwon Joel L. HeatWOle'S
boom for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination in
some quarters.
Chairman Heatwole is a young man
of good ability and has performed SUD-
stantial services for his party by many
wears of faithful service. He has never
been a candidate for either an appoint
i've or an elective office, and. In fact, mas
never drawn a salary from either ma
tional, state or county government. For
more than year past his friends nave
been urging him to enter the list this
wear for his party'S gubernatorlal noml-
nation. but to all their entreatleS ne
turned a deaf ear until few days ago,
when Heatwole club was organized III
Minneapolis. The members OF this CLUB
petitioned Mr.. Heatwole to enter the
field, assuring him of the support OF the
members of the club. To this the state
chairman replied in lengthy letter
filled with good party doctrine ana de-
Ginning to enter into a scramble for
delegates, An intimation is given, how
ever, that the Mortified editor does not
OBJECT to his name going before the con-
vention.
Taken all in all, the letter is docu-
ment calculated to strengthen MT.
HeatWole with his party because 1t
places party success as the great thing
to be sought after in making the noml-
nations this year. 'Vote the party
ticket regardless of the nominee is ad-
vocated at length. The prime movers
i'm the Heatwole club are Ed A. Hen
ders0n, j. Il. Palmer, George i. Ed
wards, F. Ii. Scoield and other equally
well-known young party workers. Inc
letter follows:

named. The preference in this case comes
from an unexpected quarter and is, there
fore, all the more pleasing. wish 10 thank
YOU and others for the honor you 90 me ana

am grateful for the many expressions OF
friendship and offers OF personal support
that have received from many sections OF

bring myself to the point OF max

have thus far received from the hands of the
Republicans of this state have come unso,
licited and perhaps undeserved, ana should

Your petition breathes the spirit of Repub.
