Governor Makes
POst-ElectiOn
Statement

Governor Theodore Christian
son made the following state
ment following his nomination:
''It appears from the returns
that / have been nominated by
very substantial majority.
This is not so much a personal
victory as an Endorsement of
the things for which the admin
.istration has stood.
"The course which has been
pursued during the last eigh-
teen months will lie continued.
shall devote myself to the task
of making secure the policies
of government that have been
initiated. Only by 50 doing can
measure up to the confidence
of the electorate of the state.
st is especially gratifying
that the majority came from
every part of the commonwealth.
They represent every section
and every class. I attribute
this to the fact that in the cam
paign | made no group appeal,
addressing myself to the people
of the whole state; and to the
further fact that in the admin
istration of the business of the
people it has been my purpose
to serve all the people and not
to prefer any class.
'sThe victory is all the more
gratifying because in the win
ming of it, no obligations have
been incurred, except the obli-
cation which an official owes
to the whole electorate. My
candidacy was advanced by
thousands of volunteer work
ers, who worked without COM
pensation or hope of reward;
they represent every occupation
and employment, and live in ev-
cry partsof the state. The only
way / can compensate them
is to serve the commonwealth
and do what | can to advance
the interests of its people.
