the position.
2 He is politically honest, energetic anc
conscientious in the performance OF duty, eager
to do the bidding of the people, whatever 1t may
be. and fearless fighter for right as the master
of might
2 As for labor he comes from the rank and
file. He got his real start in life by working on
q farm. in grocery, restaurant and printing
Office. In truth he is of them and stands
four-square, openly and satisfactorily meeting
their requirements
T. As for the farmers, he grew up among
them and is still one of them. Their views are
his views he has lived their life and he has met
their problems in his own life and he Is now
meeting them.
s As business man, he has various inter-
ests, in which those who know him best testify
strongest to his business integrity, keen insight
and good judgment; also as to his fair, square,
@aconstructive conservative attitude toward all,
AS well as to the success he has made OF every
thing he has undertaken.
6. AS soldier, he has been one of them for
over thirtv-two months. He has lived their life
both as a private and officer. He knows their
needs and he is in thorough sympathy with their
cause The President of this Club served near
" two wears in the World War as enlisted
man. part of this time being in Holsteens
command and he knows that no man could be
more fair and square and more loyal patriot
than was he from start to finish. He entered
the army in 1917, at time of great need, for the
good he could do his country and our peoples
+ At great sacrifice to himself and family,
and without a complaint he remained in the
service until May End, 1920, that he might aid
with his skill as d lawyer, In careful review OF
all General Court Martial proceedings that oc-
Cured during the World War, so that any In
Justice that may have been done to any soldier,
then held under sentence OF a General Court
Martial has been reviewed and rect1hed II error
was made, so that no soldiers now In con
fnement except where the Court Martial pro-
ceedings were found to be legally correct and
there is sufficient legal evidence of record in
each case to convict. In all other cases where
there was finding of guilty, it has been set
aside and the soldier released. Furthermore, in
all cases where the sentence Of soldier
cessve, it has been reduced to the minimum just
as though tried in civil court of his home state,
for the same offense.
8. AS recent writer in the Hawk-Eye has
said: FI have known Mr.. Holsteen for many
years. I've always found him on the side
Of Moral Right and Law Enforcement, rather
than in defense Of criminals or law violators. .
His One Hundred Per Cent Americanism cannot
fail to appeal to any red-blooded American
citizen. Think Of the way he responded to his
country's call, leaving wife and four small
CHI l0ren and lufratiVe law rractica -
9. We ask the people of this Congressional
District to be fair with the man that has been
fair with u.s. and stand by the man that stood
by as. Let's stick together and put him over
the top on June 9TH, 1920
