1,1Nn r. FOR HAMMOND

, Minneapolis, Oct. 2S.-An unquall-
fed Endorsement is given to Winfield
Scott Hammond, democratic candidate
for governor, by John Lind, former
governor of Minnesota, in a letter read
at the Bryan-Hammond meeting IN
Minneapolis last night.
Ex-Governor Lind, on account Of his
health, has been unable to make any
speeches during the present campaign.
From the sanitarium in Battle Creek,
Mich, where he is recuperating, ne
writes to A. L. Sortor, chairman of the
democratic state central committee, as
follows:
"My dear Mr.. Sorter: I regret ex'
ceedingly my inability to attend your
Auditorium meeting as had promised
I wanted this opportunity to express
in public the esteem and respect l
have for: the character and ability OF
the Honorable w. S: Hammond, oul
candidate for governor.
''I have known Mr.. Hammond as q
neighbor and as friend for over
thirty years. I have known him as
high school principal, as superinten
dent, as county attorney, as a mem
Der of the normal school board and az
member of congress for my old dis
trict, and I say without fear of con
tradiction that no man ever held SC
many and such varied positions in the
public life of our state whose services
have been so universally approved ~
the people as have the services of Mr.
Hammond. The reason is not far to
seek. He is an able, upright man and
an untiring worker. He is loyal to his
constituents, true to his friends and
fair to opponents. His position and
standing in the house of representa-
tives is as high as ever enjoyed by any
man from our state.
"Mr. Hammond if elected will make
an ideal governor. He has the ability
the experience and the poise~ for the
position.
"I wish to say further that while
my views as expressed on the sub
ject Of county option, in the Gray cam
paign, have undergone no chan~~
have implicit confidence that whether
Mr.. Hammond shares these views OF
not, he will faithfully cooperate tt
make the will Of the legislature effec
tive on this as on every subject fol
proper legislative action.
"Mr. Hammond will never become
party to any scheme that will thwar
the will of the people.
"With best wishes for success,
am, Yours truly,
"(Signed) John Lind.''
