CHOOSE LEADERS.
ENDORSE CANDIDATES For
VARIOUS LEGISLATIVE
OFFICES.
MIKE KRAMER. OF. VESTA WILL
RUN FOR REPRESENTATIVE
AT LARGE. II

Ilt i
| Last Saturday afternoon delegates
from a large number of the Townships
OF Brown and Redwood Counties hav.-
ing Nonpartisan league organizations
met at Springfield for the purpose Of
endorsing candidates for the legisla-
tive offices of Brown and Redwood
Counties. The meeting was held at
the Creamery hall and was called
to order by John M. Johnson, chair
man Of the executive committee Of
Brown County, who was also elected
to preside over the meeting. Joseph
Hillesheim Of the Town Of Stark was
elected as secretary.
Keen Interest Shown.
The meeting was well attended!
about fifty farmer delegates being
present and taking a keen interest. in
the proceedings. At the outset OF the,
meeting Chairman Johnson read a
letter that had been received from II!
E Teigen, General Secretary of the
National Nonpartisan league in. which
the General Secretary stated that the
outlook for the State ticket had never
been so promising at the beginning Of
a campaign as it is this year. Magnus
johnson, the party's candidate for
Governor is unusually popular, both
with the farmers and the working
people. Dr.. Shipstead has gained a,
great deal of strength since two years
ago and all are confident of his success
at the polls next N November. Mr.. Tel
gen stated that there seems to be no
reason why the Nonpartisan league
should not elect a Representatives,
large if the right man is, selected to
make the race. .s
Kramer For Rep-at-Large.
1t became known shortly before the
meeting was called to order that Ed
ward G.. Stain, who had made the
campaign for Representatives, large
at the last two elections, had again
filed for this Office without waiting for
an endorsement from his party and
this proved to be the only obstacle
to completely harmonious meeting.
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Stain
will not be able to win out and, for
that reason some Of the delegates had
looked around to find some one willing
to make the race, whose chance for
election would be better than Mr..
Stahn's. Joseph Belligs had partly
promised to consider an endorsement
but when his name was mentioned he
told the delegates that in his opinion
he had weakened himself because Of
his activities in the County Seat fight
and suggested that Mike Kramer of
Vesta be endorsed for this office. Mr..
Kramer was not keen to accept the
endorsement but was finally prevailed
upon to do so. Mr.. Kramer is, no
doubt, the strongest candi date for this
Office that could have been selected
from among the farming community.
He is we'll known in both Brown and
Redwood Counties and was some years
ago an enthusiastic ball player and no
doubt WILDE remembered blythe base
ball fans of both counties. .
Stain Wants Another. Chance.
Mr.. Stain has been asked whether
or not he would be willing to Withd draw
from the campaign but this he did not
seem to be willing to do. He took the
stand that he had stood the brunt of
battle for two campaigns and that.h he
should be given another chance to
make the campaign. His friends and
neighbors seemed to feel differently
about it, however, because Mr.. Kra-
mer was unanim ously endorsed fol
the office Of representa- e-at-large.
Rombers and Spelbrink Endorsed. j
The rest of the program was easy
because Frank Romberg who is now
Senator from the 14th Legislative Dis.
trict had performed the duties Of his
Office SO intelligently and 50 entirely
to the satisfaction of his constituents
that he was unanimously endorsed
for reelection.
When it came to endorsing represen.
tatives for. Brown and RI edwood Coun.
ties it was resolved that q scommittee
