GOSSIP OF THE PRESS
HAMMOND FOR GOVERNOR


drawn into the gubernatorial campaign
in Minnesota this fall, and will make
several speeches in the state for
Hammond. He will also attempt to
convince the people here of the wis
dom of electing Democratic con-
gresham or two.-St. Peter Tribune
The LIE Sueur News, a Republican
paper, comes out fatty for Hammond
for governor and many others show
signs of doing likewise. 1t is of re-
cent memory that Johnson and Lind
won out against Republicans, and Lee
is not even good Republican, be-
sides he and his friends have been
preaching party disloyalty for long
time. Perhaps the chickens are now
coming home to roost.-Preston Times.
Mr.. Hammond is statesman. clean
and able, and he will lift the state
up out of the slough of political muck
into which it has been sunk by the
Eberhart gang-a gang of spoilsmen
who have used the state for their
own personal benefit. He is leader
that all of the people may follow, re-
CARELESS of political afiliation, with
the abiding faith that they will not
be sold into bondage for the sake of
building up and maintaining ma
chine to forever hold the trough
against all possible invaders.
Lawler believes in the democracy
and he has already stated that he will
do his utmost to bring about the cleo
ton of the man who defeated him in
the primary, and there is nothing that
will go further towards the united
and harmonious party-a party that
can't be beaten in Minnesota this year.

Hammond favors the plans of the
efficiency commission Recommending
to the next state legislature a thor
ough reorganization of the states
methods of doing business and con-
graduates the chairman on "the work
so well begun" 1t is also said that
the Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date stands squarely for county op-
ton. His position on these two is
sues will bring him votes-lots of
them-but Hammond has the repu-
tation of standing for what he be-
lieves to be right regardless of polit-
ical consequences.-Preston Times.
Winfield Scott Hammond is already
extensively talked of in the East as
a likely Democratic presidential pos
sibility. In the language of Frank A.
Day, this is premature" Pitch in
and help make him governor first
Red Wing Eagle.
The News prefers good man to
renegade Republican any day. 1t
will support w. S. Hammond for gov
ernor, just as it did A. o. Eberhart.
This paper is for men, not partisan
politicians, who are selfish in the full
sense Of the word.-Le Sueur News.
w. S. Hammond is making good
as congressman, and if elected gov
ernor will no doubt fill that position
acceptably to the people.-Litchfeld
Independent.
With Hammond in the race, and the
dissentions in the Republican party
overcoming the hitherto predominant
majority of that party, the election
of the Democratic nominee is almost
assured.
Mr.. Hammond is a strong man, a
good man, a man Of principles and
ideals. He is an able lawyer, calm
and level-headed counsellor. He is a
progressive, but neither a radical nor
a visionary. He is not handsome
man and as campaigner he lacks per
sonal magnetism, but in congress, with
200 conferes he has made his mark
as one of the first half dozen in abil-
ity and in the normally Republican
district which has successfully sent
him to congress he is not only re-
spected but well loved. The state
would be immeasurably strengthened
by the change from Eberhart, the
weak opportunist, to Hammond, man
of principle and force. Detroit Herald.
Winfield Scott Hammond, the VIC
tor in the race for the Democratic |
nomination for governor, is a gentle
man whom the Democrats of Mime
sofa may well be proud to present to
the voters for election to the highest
Office in the state.
Back Of him is a record for faith
