Deserved recognition was given the
100000 service men of Minnesota by
the recent state convention when it
selected the popular 'Little Cor
poral," Louis L. Collins of Minneap-
oils, for lieutenant governor.
Idol of Minnesota's famous 151st
Field Artillery regiment and presi-
dent of the Minnesota chapter of
Rainbow Division veterans, Corporal
Collins is honored and respected by
service men in every part of the state.
His war record makes one of the
brightest pages in the story the North
Star state played in the greatest
struggle of all times.
Son of Late Jurist.
Son of distinguished jurist and
prominent G. A. R. man, the late
Judge Loren W.. Collins of St. Cloud,
the candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor is chip of the old block. The
day war was declared he closed his
desk and offered his services to his
country.
The fires of patriotism burned as
brightly in him as they did within the
soul of his father in 1861, but OBJ
stacles soon threatened to keep him
from serving. Army, navy and ma
.rfne corps recruiting officers, bound
down by official regulations, were I'M
able to accept him because he was a
trifle under height.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1920-06-18

When he found there was no way
around the regulations, he closed up
his affairs and sailed for France He
knew that after 2I5 years of bloody
struggle, France was not so much
concerned in the size of her soldiers
as in their spirit. He presented him
self for service at the Foreign Legion,
and asked the privilege of enlisting
as a private soldier. He was accept
ed and assigned to the famous 26th
shock division on the st. Quentin Sec
tor as an ambulance driver.
For six months he served with the
French army, part of the time with
the 9Th division. In October the
French agreed to give honorable dis
charges to all Yankees if they desired
to fight under their own flag.
The 151st was then at Camp Mills,
L. l. Corporal Collins had long been
a friend of Colonel George e. Leach
and he wrote him for permission to
join. Leach advised him to cross the
Atlantic and join the 151st before
it sailed for France. Collins COM
piled, but discovered on reaching the
United States that the regiment had
sailed. "g
He decided to retrace his journey
across the Atlantic, but passport reg
ulations had grown more stringent
and it required the personal services
of Senator Knute Nelson to get the
corporal permission to sail again for
Europe. On arriving in France he

and effectiveness of his department.
Long before. the majority of the
people of Minnesota discerned the
spectre of Townleyism that engulfed
North Dakota, Mr.. Preus realized it
was only a matter of months before
Minnesota would be engaged in a life
and death struggle with the red mon
ster. He studied the methods, the
aims and purposes of the Nonpar-
tisan and was one of the first to
sound the alarm about what the state
would be obliged to face. No man
realizes better than does he the
meaning of Socialized state; no
man is so prepared to give all in the
great battle for the American prin-
c1ples and ideals upon which our re-
public was founded. No man is more
ready to fight Socialism to the last
ditch so that government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people
snail not perish from the earth"
AS public official, Mr.. Preus has
demonstrated on every occasion that
he is the servant of all classes that
go to make up the state of Minnesota
Labor believes in him because labor
knows he is the friend of the toiler
and that Mr.. Preus knows the labor
ing mems problems, sympathizes
with their aspirations and under
stands their perplexities because he
sprang from the people.

BRILLIANT CAREER OF JAKE PREUS
ONE OF FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVICE

LET US not cease to sing Home,
Sweet Home" said J. A. o. Preus
in his speech of acceptance at the Re-
publican state conference in st. Paul
May 8 after he had been selected as
candidate for governor.
That sentence is the keynote of the
campaign being Waged against the
radicals of North Dakota, who are
doing their utmost to make a Social
istic state out of Minnesota.
With a keen sense of the Red men
ace that is threatening Minnesota,
the Republicans of the state sent
their representatives to the St. Paul
meeting with the solemn purpose of
picking the most able and represen-
tative men to carry the banner of
Americanism against Townleyism.
There we're 1,1O1 delegates present
and after considering the fitness of
all the candidates, Mr.. Preus was
named on the first ballot.
Mr.. Preus is of the cIeancut, pro-
gressive type of young American
manhood who makes and keeps
friends wherever he goes. He comes
from a distinguished family and en-
bodies all the sterling qualities of
his ancestors.
Born on a Farm.
He was born August 20, 1888, on
a farm near the town of Columbia,
Wis. His father is an eminent edu-
Gator, DR.. G. K. Preus, president of
Luther College, DEBORAH, Iowa. His
grandfather was Bishop Herman A.
Preus, one Of the best known church
men in the northwest, and his mother
was the daughter of the Rev. o. J.
Hort, a prominent Norwegian Lu-
theran minister of Iowa.
In the plain, old-fashioned Amer
lean public schools, the candidate for
governor received his preliminary
education. After finishing the grades,
he entered Luther College and grad
uated with hOnOrs. He then moved
to Minneapolis and matriculated at
the University of Minnesota. His
fight for an education was hard one
and it was only by working evenings
and Saturdays that he was able to
pursue his studies in the university
College of Law. He graduated in
1906, one of the most popular and
brilliant members of his class.
His career had been carefully
watched by Minnesotas grand old
man, Senator Knute Nelson. and
upon his graduation he was rendered
a position AS messenger to the SEN
ator. He filled that post at Wash
ington for three years, but his chosen
profession had been calling him and
he resigned to begin the practice of
law at Ada, MINI.
When Ado1ph o. Eberhart became
governor, following the death OF
John A. Johnson, he decided he
wanted Mr.. Preus in his official fam,
lily. He appointed him executive
clerk and Mr.. Preus took down his
shingle and moved to St. Paul. The
same year he married Miss Idells
Louise Haugen of DEBORAH.
So creditably did he fill the posi-
ton of executive clerk that he was
appointed state insurance commits
sioner in 1910, and held the place
for four years. His record in this
Office attracted wide attention, so as
siduOusly did he devote himself tc
the various and complex problems
that arose. He worked hard to rem.
edy some of the defects in the states
insurance legislation and succeeded
IN having passed many needed laws
In 1914 Mr.. Preus decided that he
could be of more value to the state

LOUIS |. COLLINS IS IDOL OF ALL
THE RED-BL CODED FIGHTING men

pierced the censorship veil and locat-
ed the 151st at Coetquidan.
"Here I am, colonel; what are you
going to do with me?" Collins greet
ed Leach one day.
''You wanted to get into this mans
war worse than most people," the
colonel replied. We've got a uni
form just your size. Get into it
quick; we need fellows like you"
Within an hour Collins was a buck
private in the employ of Uncle Sam
uel for remuneration of $50 per
month, minus war risk insurance and
allotments. He served in all the
great engagements in which the
151st played such an epic part. He
was assigned to gun crew and had
the pleasure of frequently jerking
the lanyard that opened the 75's iron
throat to bark an answer to the
Boche's hymn of hate.
Through the War.
Through st. Mihiel, Lorraine,
Chateau Thierry, on the Vesle and in
the tangled mazes of the bloody Ar
come forest, Collins stuck by the
guns. He was small, but he had the
heart of true soldier and his bud
dies" pay him the mightiest tribute
one fighting man can pay another
when they say that che always did
his share and no one else ever car
ried his pack" Late in the summer
of 1918 he was sent to the artillery
school at Samur and Armistice Day
found him there. Deprived of his
commission, he was returned to the
I CT x1yffh h &c N11 a
across the Rhine and for several
of Occupation in Coblenz. Collins
returned to Minnesota in May, 1919,
with the 151st, wearing the chevrons
of a corporal.
Mr.. Collins was born in St. Cloud,
Mimi, October 2, 1882, and received
his common and high school educa-
ton in the public schools there. He
then entered the University of Min
nesota and graduated from the acad-
emic college in 1904. He next took
up the study of law at the same in
stitution, graduated in 1906 and was
admitted to the bar.
Journalism appealed to him more
strongly than law, however, and he
took up that profession. In his IL
SNS@A0 NApSA ASANO do q newspaper
man, Mr.. Collins spent most of his
time writing on political matters. He
made deep study of government and
politics, with especial reference to
the needs of his own state. He re-
NAMED in newspaper work until he
hearkened to the call to the colors.
In March, 1920, he was in Wash
ington gathering data about the
151st for the official history of that
organization when service men of
the 9Th Congressional district started
the ball rolling with a petition de-
handing that he file for lieutenant
governor. He answered their plea
and at the state convention in st.
Paul May 8 he was selected by accla-
nation amid a wild demonstration
that turned the convention hall into
bedlam. .. .-r
He won national notice with the
statement he issued on filing for of
fee. This statement began, II am fill
ing for Lieutenant Governor because
/ want to be Lieutenant Governor"
In Mr.. Collins, the Minnesota sem
ate next winter will be assured of an
honest, fearless and able presiding
officer.
''The best corporal in the A. e. f.
is the title bestowed on this candidate
by Colonel Leach.

PROUD OF RECORD
MADE BY COLLINS

Corporal Collins is pitted
against Captain G. Ell. Mallon of
Hennepin for the Republican i'm
dorsement for lieutenant governor.
The issue between them is clear
cut. Mallon is TOwnley's man and
Collins owns himself. Those who
knew his distinguished father,
Supreme Court Judge Loren w.
Collins, of course, know this. The
American Legion is proud of Col
Inns war record and although that
organization is not in politics in
the sense that the G. A. r. was
and is, it may be assumed that
Collins will receive a flattering
vote from it's members i'm this
state.-DuIuth News-Tribune.

GLARE AND GLAMOR
FOREIGN TO PREUS

Mr.. Preus has attended strictly
to business in the auditors office.
There has been no glare or glamor,
no playing to the galleries, no
playing of politics. These are
qualities that we want in our gov
ernOr. With Mr.. Preus as a can
didate for governor the present
muddled political atmosphere in
Minnesota would be clarified and
sentiment would be crystalized.
With him as standard bearer the
Republicans could win in this year
of unsettled conditions, with the
others who are willing to fill the
governors chair the situation
looks doubtful.-Glenwood Her.

in a field of larger endeavors and he
filed for state auditor. He was elect
ed, as a tribute to his excellent work
as insurance commissioner. He was
reelected in 1918.
With it's direct supervision of the
states wealth and resources
timber lands and it's rich ore lands,
the auditors Office is one Of the most
important of all the elective posi-
lions. By his rare executive ability,
his careful administration of affairs
and his sound business judgment,
Mr.. Preus soon became known as one
of the most thoroughly able auditors
this state has ever had. During his
incumbency many changes have been
made in the methods of the Office, es-
pecially in the accounting system.
Attracted Attention.
When he assumed the vast re-
sponsibilities of this Office, he devoted
himself to mastering the intricacies
of the position and made deep and
exhaustive study of the various de-
partments and problems of the post
He surrounded himself with loyal
and able lieutenants, selected for
their particular fitness for the vari-
Gus places. AS in the insurance com
