Gin 1920 a state convention was

to defeat the Nonpartisan League n
its endeavors to foist socialism upon
the people of Minnesota.
That convention adopted a plat

That convention nominated a tick

the candidate for Governor to leaG

The privilege is rarely given to
any man to lead in such a struggle
for principle and deeply appreciate
the great confidence which the peo-
pie of our beloved state reposed IN
me by endorsing the actions of the
convention in the June primaries and
the November elections.
My name has often been men,

such remarks have been, they have
at no time been made with my con-
