About the Candidates.
Mr.. Lyons, World war veteran of
LIE Center, is progressive who took
an active part in the campaigns of
Charles Lindbergh for governor in
1918 and LaFollette for president in
1924. AS candidate for secretary of
state in 1892, he polled $4,000 votes.
He has operated his own farm at LIE
Center where he has engaged in the
raising and feeding of livestock.
Mr.. Kleffman of Hibbing, candidate
for state treasurer, was a member
of the 1921 and 1923 Legislatures. He
is dynamic speaker, and those who
have heard him on his previous visits
in Pine county will welcome an op-
portunity of hearing him again.
Also the Well known Johnson.
Magnus Johnson, candidate for re-
election in the Sixth Congressional
district, served in the State House of
Representatives in the 1915 and 1917
sessions, in the State Senate in 1919
Fl, and was elected to the U. S. Sem
ate in 1923 at special election fol-
lowing the death of Senator Knute
Nelson. For years he has been a lead
er for progressive principles. 1t takes
man of unusual caliber, coming as
he did from a foreign country after
he had grown to manhood, to attain
the position of respect and influence
which he now holds.
c. Elmer Johnson, member of the
1888 State House of Representatives
and FL. endorsed candidate for state
senator to succeed Adolph S. Larson,
had fine record as a legislator from
a progressive standpoint. He, too, is
farmer, and owns and operates his
farm at Almelund
Chas. j. Swanson, student of eco
Eomics, is our FL. endorsed candi-
date for the House of Representatives.
His thorough knowledge of state and
national affairs, combined with his
experience gained in the Wisconsin
and Minnesota Legislatures, together
with his natural ability as an orator,
will make him we'll able to serve the
people of his county and state.
