STRONG ENDORSEMENT
Senator Knute Nelson Pays Deserved
Tribute to Ability of ]. A. o. Preus,
Candidate for State Auditor.

The people of Minnesota are taking
an active interest in the candidacy OF
Insurance Commissioner j. A. O..
Preus pronounced PRICE, of Minne-
sofa, for State Auditor. Hundreds nf
citizens of the state, knowing mat
he was for years closely associated
with Senator Knute Nelson at WASH
ington, have written the Senator for
information regarding Mr.. Preus.
When it is generally known that ME.
Nelson does not give his unqualified
Endorsement unless he is sure OF his
ground, the following strong letter
should have great weight with the
people of Minnesota. The Herald
publisher is supporting Mr.. Preus for
the place because an intimate ac-
uuaintance of several years has salts
fed us that he is the best man for
State Auditor. Senator Nelson's letter
follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE

Consul J. B. Wist, DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear Friend: AS you know, one OF
your Luther College boys" Jacob A.

our courts. Shortly after his admis-
mitted to the Bar as lawyer in all
sion to the Bar I appointed him my
assistant secretary, and he came here
to Washington to assist me in my
work. He very soon became familiar
with his duties here, and found him
most thorough, energetic and efficient
in his work, and a great help to me.
He was equally at home in English,
Norwegian, and German, and he was
thoroughly grounded in the funda-
mental principals Of law; so much so
that l frequently employed him to
prepare briefs for me on important
legal questions. In the meantime
Governor Eberhart had gotten his eye
on Mr.. Preus and his ability and
efficiency, and, as a consequence,
rendered him the position of Execu-
tive clerk, and inasmuch as the salary
of that office was nearly twice what
l was allowed to pay Mr.. Preus, l felt
that could not stand in the way OF
his promotion though was very 10th
to part with him. After some SER
vice as Executive Clerk, Governor
Eberhart found Mr.. Preus so efficient,
able, and faithful, that he appointed
him to the highly important office OF
Commissioner Of Insurance. And in
this position Mr.. Preus mas proved
himself to be one of the ablest, most
energetic, and most faithful men who
ever held that office. He is remark
able for his industry, and for his abil-
ity to comprehend and properly solve
all important questions pertaining to
the intricate subject of insurance.
Mr.. Preus is not only we'll versed in
the laws of our Country but he is pos
sessed of rare and unusual executive
abilities land above all, he is morally
and intellectually honest and faithful.
From my acquaintance with him, l am
satisfied that he will exercise and per-
form the duties of State Auditor with
ability, integrity, and efficiency. In
fact I can think of no one as we'll
qualified for the office in every re-
spect as he is.
Yours truly,
KNUTE NELSON.
