AS GOOD CITIZEN YOU SHOULD VOTE
MONDAY, JUNE Is

Monday, June 16, the voters of Mime
sofa will be called upon to nominate candi-
dates for State, Congressional, Legislative
and county offices.
Of the several candidates running for
the Republican nomination for Governor,
two are of exceptionally high type-N. j.
Holmberg, Dairy and Food Commissioner an
honest to goodness dirt farmer, and State
Auditor Ray Chase.
The Herald favors the nomination of Mr..
Holmberg because we are convinced that he
more closely represents and typiies the ag-
riculturists of this great state than does any
other candidate.
AS the operator of successful dairy
farm in Renville county he has first hand
knowledge of the farmers problems and
viewpoint. During the several years he has
been dairy and food commissioner the dairy
farmers of Minnesota have come to know
him intimately as he has talked before prac-
tically every cooperative creamery associa-
ton in the state. AS the editor heard one
farmer put it while discussing Mr.. Holmberg
with group of his fellows: GAS dairy and
food commissioner MIR. Holmberg has been
our friend and advisor and we can safely
trust him as Governor"
Prior to becoming dairy and food COM
missioner Mr.. Holmberg served Renville
county as member of the lower house and as
state senator for years. His knowledge of
the state and it's needs is extensive and no
one anywhere can point to a single transac-
ton in his moral or business life that has not
been on a high plane of responsibility.
AS the Republican candidate for Cover
nor Mr.. Holmberg would be a tower of
strength to the entire ticket.
The Demogogic antics of Gov. Chris
tianson and Tom Schall in their mad scramble
for votes in their campaign for the Republi-
can nomination for the United States Senate,
has disguised the Herald editor, and this
newspaper hasn't any recommendations to
make Many sane Republicans declare they
will not vote for either of them.
Stafford King, native son of Stearns
county, past state commander of the Mime
sofa American Legion, active in the service
for the rehabilitation of disabled comrades
and bringing relief to their widows and or
phans is one of the Republican candidates
for the nomination of state auditor. His out
standing opponent is former State Treasurer
Henry Rines and for the past several years
which was organized, it was claimed, to re-
duce the tax burden of the State. AS far as
the Herald has been able to ascertain nothing
in this respect has been accomplished. While
MIR. King was serving his country over seas
Mr.. Rines was drawing the salary of State
treasurer. Staff King is a deserving candi-
date for the Republican nomination of State
Auditor.
Henry Benson, st. Peter, was appointed
attorney general several months ago succeed
ing Mr.. Youngquist. The gentleman brought
to this office splendid ability and ripe ex-
perience in the legal profession. One can
vote for Mr.. Benson with every assurance
that they are casting their lot with an able
conscientious public official.
Of the multiplicity of candidates for the
Republican nomination for Clerk of the Su-
preme Court, Sam Y.~Gordon, Browns VAL
ley, state expert public printer, stands out as
the strong man for this nomination Mr.
Gordon will fill this office with fidelity and
marked ability.
Secretary of State Mike Holm and State
Treasurer julius Schmahl, both deserving,
haven't any opposition worth mentioning in
the Republican ranks. Both will be elected
in November.
Frank Matson, St. Paul, has served eight
years as member of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission. He is candidate
for reelection. Mr.. Matson has splendid
official record and his experience of the past
eight years will make him more valuable
official than any of those opposed to him
could possibly be for number of years.
Several good men are looking for the
nomination of Lieutenant Governor on the
Republican ticket. Unless the Governor dies
during his term of office or resigns, in which
case the Lieutenant Governor will become
chief executive, the lieutenant governor
merely becomes the presiding officer of the
state senate. Sam Rask, of Blooming Prai-
RE, served his district as Senator and has be-
