Governor Eerbhart has thrown his
hat into the ring. In statement Is
sped from the Governors office, the
Executive announces that he is can
didate for the Republican gubernator-
iaf nomination. The chief slogan OF
his preliminary announcement Is state
DEVELOPMENT and connected with II
are the maintenance of the direct prl-
mary law and the establishment OF
more efficient form of government as
outlined by the Efficiency Co1nmls-
sion appointed by him. The statement
follows:
The coming primary campaign pre-
sents manv important issues for con-
sideration by the people OF this state.
1t will determine whether or not
the people of Minnesota will endorse
a campaign of constructive poIlcy ana
not one whose perspective is pound
ed by personal abuse, slander ana VII
lifcation of the state itself.
It will determine whether or not
tine state shall continue the present
policy of development and publ1clty
which has brought the greatest agrl-
cultural and industrial prosperity
known to the state and within the
last five years nearly doubled the
value of Minnesota lands by attract
ing and securing more active settlers
than all the other surrounding states
combined.
It will determine whether or not
this state snail carry to successful
completion the plan for the reorgan'
ization of all state departments on
basis of the greatest possible econo.
NV and efficiency with effective civil
service outlined in my first message
to the legislature nearly four years
ago and which is being formulated by
the present efficiency Commission ap'
pointed by me for that purpose.
1t will determine whether or not the
present statewide primary law and its
accompanying corrupt practlces act
enacted at the special session which L
called for that purpose shall be re-
pealed and the old-time boss-ridden
convention system be substituted
therefor.
This constitutes the challenge sub.
mitted by the opposition, which | now
accept. Believing in strict law en-
forcement, in a clean and dignified
campaign, in an aggressive policy OF
state development and publicity, in
the effective reorganization OF the
state departments along the best bus
mess lines Of economy and efficiency
&with the budget system for making
appropriations, and in the statewide
primary law for the purpose of enab-
ling the people to exercise the fullest
meASure of popular government and
Ito s&fe corrupt political manipula-
Mon, Whereby again announce my can
