The emergency referred to in this
statement arises from the following
facts: All political party nominations
as we know, are made at a direct
primary to be held June 21st. This
is required by law. In the absence of
a real emergency the unofficial con-
vention of May 8th would not have
been called. THIS CONVENTION
WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY GATH

Republicans Consult Together.
The purpose of the unofficial con-
vention of May Sth was to give Re-
publicans an opportunity to take
counsel with each other and settle
upon a program that would best en-
able them to defeat the Nonpartisan
League in the State OF Minnesota.
Eleven hundred representative Re-
publicans drawn from every county
of the State of Minnesota constituted
the delegates to this convention.
They were patriotic and disinter-
ested. They deliberated upon the
various questions involved in this
campaign, and in addition to adopt
ing platform they endorsed ticket
for the state officers to be nominated
June 21st, and l was selected by that
convention as it's candidate for Gov
ernor on the Republican Ticket.

You must come in and do your share.
TOwnIeyite or Republican?
THE PRIMARY CONTEST IS VI
tai. 1T WILL DETERMINE
WHETHER THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY OF THE STATE OF MIN
NESOTA will become Townleyite or
remain REPUBLICAN. The ques-
ton is for the men and women of
Minnesota to decide.
The Republican Party, whose choice
for Governor / became May 8th, in
vites the attention of the farmers of
the State to the progress of the State
| of Minnesota since is entrance into
the Union. Whatever there is in
Minnesota of progress has come
through the Republican form of
| government. Everyone knows that
the rank and file of members of the
Nonpartisan League are good Citi-
Zens; they are laW-abiding; they are
Industrious; they are honest; they
are intelligent. They have had griev-
ances in the past, and their griev-
ances have been corrected, not
through any class organization such
as the Nonpartisan League, but
through one of the two parties, the
Republican or the Democratic.
Furthermore, the Republican Par
ty is anxious and willing to give the
farmers of our State such remedial
legislation affecting their business as
they desire. Any such legislation has
my hearty support, and should have
the same from every good citizen. If
l am elected Governor, I shall do
my utmost to secure such legislation
As is helpful to, and needed by our
! farmers.
League Controlled by Socialists.
I believe it is very unfortunate
that the Nonpartisan League has
been and is being today organized by
Socialists, 1. w. WIS, and other radi-
calls from various parts of the United
States.
