ent at the lunch to ponder well be-
fore they sacrificed the st. Law
rence-Great Lakes plan by voting

Tuesday evening Former Cover
?. nor Theodore vChristianson and
Speaker of the House Oscar Sven
son addressed fair sized audience
at the Senior High School auditor
ium.
Mr.. Parker first introduced Mr..
Swenson who is a candidate to sue
coed o. P. B. Jacobson as a men,
Der of the railroad and warehouse
commission. The gentleman be-
came a member of the Minnesota
Legislature in 1918, and he served
continuously since, receiving the
unanimous election of speaker in
the 1882 session. He is an honest
to goodness dirt farmer residing in
Nicollet county. He explained the
duties of the railroad and ware
house commission eulogized the
candidates for state office, particu-
larly the Republican candidate for
Governor, Earle Brown.
Mr.. Christensen, finished orat-
or, was the principal speaker of the
evening. The gentleman is one of
the nine Republican candidates for
Congressman at large. His talk
was devoted largely to national is
sues.
Recalling that this country has
suffered depressions on IA occas-
ions in the past Mr. Christianson
turned to the present situation and
said it had it's conception in the de-
fiation order that came during the
administration of Woodrow Wilson.
Recalling the unprecedented expan-
sion that took place in all parts OF
the country and how the people
having spent all their money, Dor
rowed all the money they could get,
speculated in industrial stocks, pure
bred cattle, real estate and many
other investments, Mr.. Christian
son said that the present condi-
tions are the natural result of go
ing too heavily into debt.
In spite of this fact, said Mr..
Christianson, the democratic party
through its spokesman, the vice
presidential candidate, believes that
the way to prosperity lies in going
still further into debt by a huge
public works program which would
call for a post office at every cross
roads. The Garner bill, he said
would have called for the erection
of a SIS, 1000 post office in Dawson
to house an $4,000 a year business.
If Uncle Sam is to spend more
money it must be taken from the
taxpayer, continued the speaker
and more money spent for govern
ment means more money taken
from the ordinary channels of
trade. Believing there is opportun-
ity of saving money in the national
administration of the government
Mr.. Christianson pledged himself,
if elected to congress, to the same
economy in federal government that
characterized his conduct as gov
ernor of this state.
. Standing squarely behind Herbert
Hoover in his tariff statement, Mr..
Christianson said if it were not for
the republican tariff, conditions in
this country would be infinitely
worse than they are and cited the
case of Canada where during the
past summer, butter sold for five
cents pound and eggs at three and
four cents dozen.
Believing that completion of
the st. Lawrence waterway = is
necessary if the best interests of
this section of the country are to
be served, Mr.. Christianson pledg-
ed the nresident his SUPPORT in the
