OUT FOR JOHNSON
/ Gives Strong Reasons for the
Re- selection Of the Present
Chief Executive.
Says. the Republicans Should Vote
for johnson and Purify
Their Party.

AAon' II. StOlDerg, the leading
attorney of Chisago county, writes
q strong endorsement of Governor
Johnson's administration, and in a.
letter recently made public gives his
reasons for supporting him for re-
election. Mr.. Stolberg has been a
lifelong Republican and in 1904 was
delegate from Minnesota to the Re-
publican national convention which
nominated Theodore Roosevelt. He
IS member of the board Of directors
OF Gustavus Adolphus college and has
been identified with public affairs for
a great many years. Mr.. Stolberg
IS one of the many thousands of Re-
publican voters who protest against
the domination Of his party conven-
tions and committees by the lumber
trust and other special interests. He
believes further that Governor John
sen is entitled to reelection on his
merits. The letter follows:
Harris, Mimi, Oct. 6, 10o6.-Therc
are no partisan questions to be de-
clded in the state election this year.
l can see no reason why the Re-
publicans who supported and voted
for John A.. Johnson two years ago
should not do the same this year.
! was for him two years ago, because
conditions then fully justified such a
course; | favor his reelection this
time, because he has given the state
a clean, efficient and independent adj
ministration. He has carried out
every promise and pledge which he
made, which were simply to enforce
the laws fearlessly and impartially to
protect the interests of the state in
every respect.
Governor Johnson has done his
full share to collect the money due
the state from those who had unlaw-
fully cut timber on the states lands.
He promised before he was elected
that this would be done, and he has
made his promises in this respect
good. If the state wins the timber
trespass suits that are now in the
courts it will be richer by over $780,
600 as result of the work of Gov
ernor Johnson, Attorney General
Young and State Auditor Iverson.

He has earned the approval Of
President Roosevelt, in public mes
sage to congress, for his work in Sc
curing united action for the reform
IN lite insurance: The people of Min
nesota, irrespective of party, will not
go wrong in supporting for reelection
a governor who secures as strong an
endorsement as that given by our
forceful and fearless president to Gov
ernor Johnson. ~
The administration of every state
department over which the governor
has direct control has been along
strict business lines and has had for
its object only. the protection and ad-
vancement of the states interests.
Il am a Republican and believe in
the policies Of my party as repre-
sented by President Roosevelt, but
am not partisan to the extent of
following blindly the dictates of my
party when its course does not seem
to me. for the best interests Of the
state and the public welfare.
