be held Monday, July 18th. Every
voter in Minnesota should cast his bal

preference. OF the candidates ]. A. O..
Preus, Minnesota's young Governor, Is
by far the best known and best quail
fed.
He has very unusual natural abil-
ity. Blessed by the Creator with SUI
perior mental capacity, a clear, keen
mind and an active brain, he has the
added advantage of a splendid educa-
ton and years Of political experience.
Mr.. Preus' father was a Lutheran
clergyman and college president, his
mother a wonderful Christian woman.
During his entire official life his pri-
vate conduct and official acts have re-
fected credit upon the character and
teachings of his parents.
Immediately after leaving the State
University he went to Washington as
a clerk in the Senate and is familiar
with the personnel of that body, its
method of conducting business and
the various departments of the Fed
eral Government No other candidate
for Senator has such education, such
training or such knowledge.
While the Governor Is young man
with a very unusual expectancy of
life. in point of service he is one of
the oldest of Minnesota's public
men. After serving in Washington as
Senate Clerk, he entered the practice
of law in Minnesota but was shortly
appointed Executive Clerk to the Gov
ernor, was then made Insurance Com
missioner, elected State Auditor twice
and twice elected Governor. During
the twelve years that have passed, he
has familiarized himself with all parts
of Minnesota, with the industries.
the problems and the needs of these
various parts. No other candidate for
the Office of Senator has his state
wide acquaintance with the industries
and the problems of our great State.
His record in office speaks more
eloQuently for his ability and ideals
than any eulogy. He is the States
greatest exponent of the merits of CO
operative marketing. He believes in
reduced taxes and during his term as
Governor, for the only times in Min.
nesota's history. the general revenue
tax levy has been twice omitted.
He believes in tightening the tax
burden by taxing other sources OF
State income. He also believes In
keeping his campaign pledges. Hence
when the tonnage tax bill was passed
by the 1921 Legislature, he immediate.
ly signed the bill.
At the present time, he Is the great.
est exponent Of the st. Lawrence
waterway, holding official position in
American public life. He can do more
to secure the waterway, increase the
markets available to Minnesota's farm
ers, and decrease the transportation
rates upon their wheat than any man
whom the Northwest can send to the
u. S. Senate.
There can be no question about his
ability, his experience, his fitness o,
his record. The Republican Party
selected him as its candidate. To send
him to Washington, votes are neces
sary. A Republican ballot which doel
not reach the ballot box is Of no avail
