THINK 1T OVER.


THINK 1T OVER.
Victor L. Power of Hibbing, who
was the choice of the northern part
of the state for u. S. Senator in
the primaries, but who was defeat
ed for the nomination by ]. A. O..
Preus in a letter to Chairman w. c..
Sargent of the st. Louis County
Republican Committee, plainly shows
the stuff he is made of.
After ascertaining that Mr.. Pow
er was actively supporting the Re-
publican nominee, Mr.. Sargent adj
dressed a letter to him asking why
he supported "Jake" Preus and in
answer received the reply as gwen
below. The answer is characteristic
of Mr.. Power who speaks straight
from the shoulder and to the point.
The Republicans of the state
should take the letter of Victor
Power to Chairman Sargent to heart
and seriously mediate on the senat-
orial situation in which the state
would find itself should the Election
go against the Republican nominee.
The letter to Mr.. Sargent follows
William c. Sargent,
Duluth, Minnesota.
Ny dear Mr.. Sargent:
You inquire as to my reasons for
supporting the Republican candidate
for the United States Senate at the
coming Senatorial election, and you
are advised as follows:
BECAUSE am a Republican.
BECAUSE-Though my aspirations
met with defeat at the recent
primaries, / have discovered no
reason why / should in any man.
ner change my political. affiliations
or convictions.
BECAUSE-As citizen OF the
North Star State it has ever been
my thought and purpose to lend
my aid, politically and otherwise,
to advance the interests of our
great commonwealth.
BECAUSE firmly believe that
Minnesota's interests will be best
served by the election of Re-
publican to succeed the late Hon.
Knute Nelson in the halls of the
United States Senate.
BECAUSE-The Republican party
is today, and, during the entire
term of the office that we are to
fill at the coming election, will
be in control of our National
Government, and it is a patent
fact to me, as it must be 20 the
citizenship of Minnesota, that
the legislative needs of Mime
sofa can and will be best served
by the election of Republican
to the Senate.
BECAUSE-Minneso with her
vast agricultural resources, her
tremendous mineral wealth, her
manufacturing industries, her fast
disappearing forests and her many
and varied resources has interests
that rise paramount to political
controversies, and that demand
that at this time we send to the
United States Senate represent
alive aligned with the Repub-
lican party in control of the at
fairs of government.
BECAUSE-The needs of the farm
er, of the laborer, of the manu-.
facturer and of commerce dernand
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION al
the hands of our NATIONAL
LAWMAKERS, and to receive
that immediate attention Min
nesota must have in the halls OF
legislation representative whe
is a Republican, member OF the
majority party-a member wht
can and will demand of the Re
publican party that IMMEDIATE
legislation be had that will arneli
iorate the problems of the farm
er, the laborer, and the manufac
turer.
BECAUSE-The deep-w r-way
project is of vital Interest ane
Importance to Minnesota. Stu
ated at the head of the great
lakes. Minnesota is the gateway
through which the untold wealth
of Minnesota and the mighty EN-
pire west of us should pass tt
the ports of the world. 1mnedi
ate action must be had in Con
press il this project is to be con
sumated within our life time
And in this connection it is my
thought that Minnesota can ano
will serve her interests best by
electing a Republican to demand
of the Republican majority in oul
National Congress that the Re
publican party give immediate at
tention to such legislative enact
ments that will hasten the con
Summation of this project.
BECAUSE-Minnes must first
last and all the time pay heed te
her interests, and ! believe that
Minnesota at this time can best
serve her needs by the election
of a Republican, Senator affi!i
ating with the majority party II
our National Government.
BECAUSE-It is my thought thai
Minnesota will be better served
in the halls of National Govern
ment and in the United States
Senate by a Republican than by
Senator whose party has nc
strength or voice in the affairs OF
National Government.
BECAUSE-With unity there is
strength, and by uniting with the
Republican majority in the United
States Senate Minnesota can and
will receive better attention to
her wants and needs and can de-
mand at the hands Of our Ma
