GOVERNOR BURNQUISTS RECORD
OF DISTIMGIIISIIED SERNIHE

During the of the campaign have not read
Tor heard of single argument advanced against the re-
election of Governor A. A. Burnquis that worthy of
the serious consideration of thoughtful voters He has
made admirable war-Governor for Minnesota whose
record in period Of crisis and unrest will rebound
the credit of state and nation He prompt to line
the forces and equipment of the important
commonwealth with those of th/naton standing
and solid back Of President Wilson in every activity Incl
dent to the work of preparation prosecution the
world He protested his loyalty many occasions
in words clear and strong that they could of
being understood except by few carping and wul
agogues who made their business msrepresent and
cauminate him. But back of these words substantial
and solid deeds Of unequvoca significance that
offer nsuperable barrier the contemplate brood of
fault-fnders
If the voters will but take the trouble go over in
review the whole Governor Burnuuist we be-
ieve that they will to the conclusion that he has
worthy and ably maintained the dignity this
great state in every essential feature of the manifold
and embarrassing problems of his administration
1t Is only stating the truth say that has demon
STATED splendid ability unimpeachable fidelity in the
conduct of his high Office reaching degree of efficiency
and sagacfy that were surprising to his friends
admirers 1t is not necessary enumerate his distin
guished services in DETAIL the that served to
elicit his high qualities Chief Executive of the laws of
the State are of such recent easily
recalled He has met these no spirit of
vaclaon evasion but with such courage intelligence
and frmness to command the respect admiration

terms he defined his attitude upon the issues in
volved that his adversares not fail to adj
mre the fairness and maniness of his of fighting
And he has been fighting Governor He fights fairly
and above board dsdainng descend trcery deceit
or equvocat1on He has the of his convictions
and bears himself that his knows that
in the fight He has made number of enemies in the
course of his administration, the overwhelming ma
ority of the electorate of him the better
because of the enemies he has made
ther in his
issue of loyalty is the controlling ndsputable
that in Governor Burnqust had an absolutely
American executive The so-caed mon parsans"
are In the final analysis simply Socialists wearing mask
to disguise themselves and their policies their
platform stands for class hatred special privileges for
certain lines Of business ndustry-the Bolshevik
policy that has brought Russia misery and DEATH
Against them and their unAmerican propaganda Cover
nor Burnquist has taken determined stand saying to
them: You shall not bring into this great commonwealth
therefore, waging furious fight against reelection
Shall stand by the Governor, UNFOLDING hands, or
lend aid and the Boshev forces of the oppo
stion?
Shall not indorse his excellent record of patriotic
service in the past by reeecting him with big
or1ty that the eisaes of class hatred special priv
ege shall again darken the door Minnesota poll
tics with their sinister forms? Shall stutfy our own
patriotic achievements of the period falling to rally
around courageous sagacious executive in his
battle with the forces confusion empiricsm and un
Americansm?
Let us then Tuesday the seal approval on
the record of Governor Burnquist, and his
mission for another term of distinguished faithful
vice.
