In answer to the criticisms INDUCED
III by the opposition with reference
t" Governor Eberhart's accomplish.
rients during the time he has been
governor, the Osakis Review Of
Sept. % makes the following reply,
which cannot help but be instructive
and pleasing to the voters of the
state:
Governor Eberhart's candidacy
rests upon record of exceptional
value to the State of Minnesota, not
alone in his official capacity but in
the larger service of directing atten.
ton to the greatness of Minnesota in
it's resources, it achievements and its
possibilities.
He has not only discharged the reg.
ular duties of his office with prompt.
ness, thoroughneSs and fairness to all
interests and has attended all impor-
tant meetings of the various state
boards of which he is a member, but
he has lost no opportunity to advance
the best interests of he state through
wide range of speaking engagements
both at home and abroad.
During Governor Eberhart's short
incumbency he has addressed some of
the most notable gatherings in the
country-including the Convention of
the Upper Mississippi River Improve
ment Association at Winona, the Ma
tional River and Harbors Congress in
Washington, the Deep Waterways
Convention in New Orleans, the Ma.
tional Farm Lands Congress in Chi.
cago, the Governors Conference in
Washington, the banquet of the Ham.
ilton Club in Chicago, the National
Convention of Advertising Men in
Omaha and the South Dakota Con.
servation Congress in Pierre-on each
of which occasions he delivered an
address devoted to exploiting the ag.
ricultural, commercial and material
advantages generally of the state.
AS a direct result of these various
appearances the State of Minnesota
has received an immense amount of
valuable publicity, the practical bene-
fit of which can be noted in the in
creased demand for detailed informa-
ton as to the agricultural advantages,
business opportunities, rates of taxa
ton and other matters, shown by the
correspondence of the immigration
Bureau. Auditors Office and other
executive departments.
In short it has been Minnesota pub
licity, rather than personal or political
publicity for the Governor.
To Governor Eberhart is due in a
very large measure the splendid sue.
cess of the State Development and
Conservation Congress of last March,
which is conceded by both press and
public to have done it's hest work in
arousing the citizens Of Minnesota to
full realization of the states great.
ness, both actual and potential. This
gathering was followed by develop.
:, ment meetings in different sections of
the state, which have already resulted
in great practical benefit and to which
Governor Eberhart has given his
hearty encouragement.
Governor Eberhart has given par.
ticular attention to the needs of the
State University and Agricultural
School, exerting his influence toward
extending their advantages and op.
portunities more widely and profit.
ably.
Governor Eberhart has responded
promptly and generously to the many
demands upon his time and strength
by the various commercial, agricul.
tural and educational organizations
of the state, regardless of personal
and political considerations, and has
come into close touch with the real
needs of all classes of citizens in the
state, thus enabling him to conduct
the business of his Office and to in.
ndence the departments under his
control to the best interests of the
whole people.
