MANGAN ENDORSED BY
PAPERS IN DISTRICT
Receives Many Compliments From
Editors in Stevens and Adjoin-
ing Counties


Since filing as a candidate for
State Senator of the 48th Legislative
District, Mr.. T. ]. Mangan has re-
ceived many favorable comments in
the press of the different towns
throuout the district, which shows
that his candidacy has been well re-
ceived and that he is making good
impression wherever he goes. Be
low we publish few of the articles:
Wheaton Gazette-Reporter: "Mr.
Mangan is a candidate for the state
senatorship from this district and has
many enthusiastic home supporters.
He is a very pleasant appearing
gentleman, full of energy, and pos
sessing all necessary qualifications.
Best of all he is said to be one
hundred per cent patriot"
Herman Review: -Four cand1-
dates have filed for State Senator.
These four go into the primaries, and
there two of them will be defeated,
leaving the other two to fight it out
in the general election next Novem-
this contest, as practically every is
sue is represented by one or the
other of the four While we concede
every man the right to his opinion,
we believe that Thos. J. Mangan, or
Morris would represent the best in
terests of the plain, common people
better than any other of the four.
We believe that if he is elected he
will vote on the side of the people OF
this district every time he has a
chance, and that his name will never
be seen in the column that supported
any system. Tom is sincere and
fighter. If you believe in progress,
if you believe that the fat fellows
have been having too much to say
about Minnesota's government, vote
for Mr.. Mangan."
Browns Valley Tribune: Thomas
Mangan, senatorial candidate in this
district, has declared, over his own
signature, for tonnage tax on iron
ore His opponent from Stevens
county, who has the endorsement of
fhe Socialist leaders Of the Non-Part~
isan League, voted against tonnage
tax bill in the legislature while
serving this district in the House,
and yet the League would have the
people of this district believe that it
favors tonnage tax law. There ap-
pears to be an Inconsistency here
that is hard to straighten out to the
satisfaction of the inquisitive voter"
Hoffman Times: "Thos. J. Man
gan of Morris is candidate for the
senate for this Legislative District.
He is one of the successful attorneys
of Morris and enjoys a large and lu-
crative practice and for that reason
did not care to enter the senatorial
battle but his friends were insistent
that he make the race, consequently
he is in and in to win. He is young
man, but 35 years of age, 100 per
cent American and looks good to us. A
vote for Mangan will go a long way
toward electing and sending to the
senate from this district man who
is absolutely on the square, one who
can be depended on to look out for
the interests of his constituents,
give everybody a square deal and do
everything in his power to assist the
government in it's task of winning
the war"
Browns Valley Tribune: ''Mr. Man
gan, candidate for the state senate
from this district, is well known
and highly respected citizen of Nor
ris, and grew to manhood on a farm
in Stevens county. This is one in
stance where the expression, Eat the
earnest solicitation of many friends
I have become a candidate" is a
veritable. fact, for Mr.. Mangan was
literally drafted into making the run
after a meeting in Norris of large
and representative number of the
people of that town and vicinity, at
which it was unanimously decided
that he become a candidate. He is
a man of ability and standing, and
his law practice has gained for him
a wide acquaintance. He is beyond the
draft age, but has made two unsuc-
cessful attempts to enter the service
