q personal feeling against the pres
eat governor. c. A. Lindberg, con-
gresham OF the sixth district Of Mn
nesote. today announced that he
would In time make his announce
ment as a candidate for governor OF

United Press follows:
~ never have been a candidate for
Office in a personal sense, but I am
interested in plans that would, IL put
IN operation. enable men and women
generally 10 get better results from
their industry. Whenever l was a
candidate, I have been elected TO Of
fee upon the principles which 1 pre-
scented. and did not consider II my
election. but rather the election OF
these principles. Thus far | nave
worked in congress, but because OF
certain reactionsry practices In con-
sress, the work OF construction there
Is slower than II would be in a pro-
sressive state like Minnesota. IL
Minnesota sets the example for the
practical working out OF the best po-
liticai and industrial plans, the other
states will follow and all OF us will
be benefited. / have worked out plans
By which the people Of the state can
accomplish much better results than
they have heretofore.
The Industrial Forces.
I'm connection with any government
We must recognize that the industrial

BY industrial forces ] mean the work
Of all who serve in any capacity nee
essary to the general welfare. These
forces are entitled TO first place in our
economic considerations, as well as
TO stand first in the benefit of social
results They have not, however, re-
ceived any such benefit nor even equal
benefits with q majority OF those who
render no service to mankind. On
the contrary the Industrial forces have
always been the prey OF uneconomic
practices and subject TO speculative
despoil. False dealing has gone to
such length that to state what IL now
costs US would seem like an exag
geration to those who have not taken
time 20 examine and analyze the facts.
Our economic forces. in their yield to
human welfare are greatly under
what they would be in 4 well regu.
lated system.
VIII Be No idle Program.
Considering that this state is al
ready one OF the most prosperous
and possibly the most prosperous, IL
will be no idle program that will in
crease prosperity. Greater success
OF the average individual would also
mean greater aggregate success.
Taxes have been far too high for the |
benefit received. They may be ma
terially reduced and at the same time
the benefit increased by greater ef-
fciency. but Il is not the question OF
taxes that most concerns us. Import
ant as that is il is small. when COM
pared with what men and women
should get from their we'll directed
daily energy. Upon both problems,
the one to reduce the taxes and in
crease the efficiency in the applica-
tion OF the money when expended, and
the other TO give men and women the
best results for their industry. | ex-
pect to present n plan and IN due
time TO make II the real candidate
for governor of Minnesota. No per-
sonal objection TO the present COVER
nor nor to any. of the contemplated
candidates thus far mentioned is i'm
piled. This is not a personal matter.
II is a matter of business for the
people and their state. have plans
