Governor Eberhart was of great
assistance to the advisory board Of
the Commercial club in obtaining
the presidents consent to visit
Mankato and remain here for SC
long a period. 1t is not often that
a chief executive will give up sc
much Of his valuable time to city
the size of Mankato.
| Mankato is one Of the very few
cities in the state that will be Wis
tied by the president. He will pass
through many of them, but his sta,
will be brief and only on few occa
sions will he leave his car.
The reception to the president here
will be entirely non-partisan. While
the president himself will discuss
politics, the several committees that
will be named to make the arrange
ments for his reception will be
made up Of gentlemen Of all poiti
cal beliefs. That the affair will bt
carried out successfully there can BIZ
no doubt.
