Judge John W. Willis in an inter-
view in the Duluth Herald: The demo-
Gratis Of the state are peculiarly FORUM
ate in having man like P. NJ. Ringdal
consent to enter the race for governor.
I have known Mr.. Ringdal for many
years. I know that his heart is right.
He is Of the Abraham Lincoln type of
men. By that I mean that he has the
same rugged honesty, the same fidelity
Of purpose, the same sympathy for the
common people: Minnesota would be in
deed fortunate if he were elected gov
ernor of the state. :,

Fergus Falls WheelockS Weekly:
One Of the finest pieces Of. good >vigor;;
Gus English which has appeared in state
politics in recent years is the letter Of
P. M: Ringdal, setting forth his beliefs
on public questions. He is not afraid.
He knows what he wants and tells it
to- the voters without reservations. e IF
the people desire him for governor on
his own terms he will serve them, but
not otherwise. He does not ,juggle
meanings to get votes. Moreover, the
cleancut, virile language in which he
puts his platform makes it of value for
its worthy style alone, if for no other
reason.
