ember. Today, he asks the people
Of Minnesota to authorize his
promotion from the office of
chief executive Of Minnesota, to
u. s. senator in Washington.
This is a truly American record,
for Mr.. Preus is not get 40
years of age.
THE QUESTION arises as to
why the people of Minnesota
should reliexe Mr.. Preus of his
contract to serve them two years
more as governor. The reason
that such action will be a tribute
to the memory of Senator Nielsen,
a public servant who died in the
service, already has been men
toned. No one knows better than
Gov. Preus that this reason is
based on sentiment, not any
vested or hereditary right. He is
to good an American to want Of.
flee by bequest or hereditary
descent.
A SECOND reason for electing
Gov. Preus to the U. s. senate is
the fact that the act would be
highly acceptable to President
Harding. The national admin
istratien cannot afford to lose
more senators, and all vacancies
should be replaced by able party
men who will be friendly to MIR.
Harding's policies. IF elected SEN
ator, Gov. Preus could be de-
pended upon to- pull steadily in
the collar and not to fly the
track and go on q stampede. -
GOVERNOR PREUS is deeply
Interested In the Great Lakes

Eberhart as executive secretary,
with high satisfaction, until 1910.
During the next four years, MIR.
Preus served as state insurance
commissioner. In 1914, he was
elected state auditor and re-
elected in 1918, in.swhich office
he made splendid record. In
1920, auditor Preus became Gov.
Preus. AS most voters know, he
was reelected governor last Nov

Canada. First as governor of
Minnesota, a state adjoining
Canada, and then as u. S. SEN
ator, MIR. Preus is in a position
to accomplish great things in
the international negotiations.
While governor, he has had re-
peated conferences at various
Canadian points, some Of those
conferences, by confidential favor
Of Pres. Harding, being semi
diplomatic in their character.
None of the fourteen candidates
for the senatorship seem as well
qualified to further the Geep
waterway project as J. A. o.
Preus.
IN HIS boyhood, Gov. Preus
lived on a farm and learned
what it meant to sow in hope
and reap in despair. Years be-
fore he was a voter, he decided
that national republican policies
protected the farmer, hence he
allied himself with the party of
Lincoln, Mckinley and Harding,
rather than the party of Jeffer-
son, Jackson, Cleveland and Will
son, with which close and dear
kinsman were affiliated. As a
result of the lean and strenuous
times on the farm, Gov. Preus
feels a special interest in and
sygnpathy for the farneI:.
made special efforts to secure
state legislation to benefit the
Minnesota farmers and he could
and would go further if sent to
the U. S. senate. His program of
constructive legislation has been
carried out, with help of the
legislature, until Minnesota has
done more in less than three
years under his administration
to improve conditions than was
done in the preceding quarter of
a century.
UNDER THIS far-seeing ex-
ecutive, the state department of
agriculture, headed by a practical
farmer, has been enlarged and
fortified by legislation and apZ
preparations so that it has been
able to study agricultural con-
ditions scientifically and con-
structively, thereby helping the
farmer solve his grave and per-
picking problems.
GOVERNOR PREUS early
saw that in cooperative market
ing lay the main key to the solu-
ten Of the farmers problems as
to disposing of the products of
the soil and their toll. In two
sessions of the legislature, since
he became chief executive, &C
ton has been taken, so far as
the law can meet the public need,
to put cooperative marketing
on a better basis than in almost
any other state in the Union.
Just now, Gov. Preus is doing
his utmost to help devise a sys-
TEN for profitably storing and
marketing the state potato crop,
the method being based some
what on that of the California
fruit growers. Among either
