i GOVERNOR EBERHART's QUAIL.
FlcATioNS.
In Governor Adolph o.. Eberhart
the Republicans OF Minnesota have a
candidate who exemplifies the prog
ressive spirit of today He is a gov
ernor who has made good He is a
! candidate OF whom the party has
| reason to be proud, and in whom
the people of the state, irrespective
of party or of political afiliation,
| have every confidence. The Republi-
can party candidate, still a young
man, has lived a life that has been
| full and active. A man of ability
and of character, rich in the human
instinct of kindness and of generous
| interest, his enthusiasms are those
| of the people with whom he lives.
He represents the ideal that today
actuates the people of Minnesota He
knows the history of his state, he is
| proud of its past and possesses a
| prophetic insight into it's wonderful
| future. He is the advance agent of
progress and the square deal.
His life has been one that appeals
| to the American public. Born OF
| sturdy, Swedish ancestry, he came
to this country a small boy of ten
| years. From that time until man.
hood, he contended against poverty
and disadvantage. His life was ad.
mirably set to encompass within
himself the highest ideals of Amer,
ican citizenship. A struggling boy
on the farm, later riding a horse on
a ranch, there was always before him
the ideal of education and of training.
In those early days, he realized the
spirit of development of conservation
of mind and body. Later, as a poor
boy working his way through college,
his ideals never wavered. The spirit
of accomplishment and the determina-
ton to do things, to overcome diff
culties and surmount obstacles, bred
in him by his early struggles, are the
characteristics of this man of the
hour in Minnesota.
! Quiet and modest in his demeanor,
almost to the point of diffidence,
there is a quiet persistency and a de-
termination of instinct in the Re.
publican party's candidate for gov,
ernor, that enables him to carry his
! point and to- accomplish.
