Fred Schilplin Is
Candidate for Governor
Continued on Page Four)

weeks ago Mr.. Schilplin sent out 4
QUESTIONABLE to test out the SINGER
ity of his friends. The respons,
was so generous that Mr.. Schilplir
decided to offer his services to tn,
people of his state. He is a Roose
welt Democrat pure and simple. HI
is not at all in accord with tn;
Communistic declarations of the
Farmer-Labor platform. His state
ment, following, is clearcut anc
rings true:
In less than six weeks the
People Of Minnesota are to be
given the opportunity Of de-
Gliding whether or not they are
for or against the policies of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the
forthcoming primary election
Minnesota will go on record as
to whether or not the vote of
confidence that we rendered
him in November, 1882, was an
empty and hollow sham.
The question will be decided
in choice by the people Of Min
uesota of it's state leadership.
The primary campaign while
ostensibly for the choice of
candidates for each party is
really an opportunity to say
Eyes or mo" to Franklin D.
Roosevelt in his honest and in
spring leadership of the ma
ton.
I believe that the people of
Minneota are tired of the
present leadership of the Farm
er-Labor party. I believe its
recent radical declaration of
principles Matched as the basis
of a third party movement is a
stab in the back of the Roose-
welt policies. I believe that
the time is ripe for a transfer
of its waning power into safer
hands, into the charge and
keeping of those who will be
honestly and sincerely behind
the present occupant of the
White House - Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and the party that
he represents.
Yielding to the wish of count
less friends and neighbors, I
am persuaded to offer my name
as the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party of Minnesota for
the office of Governor.
A year ago last March, I re-
ceived an invitation to attend
the Inauguration of a new DEM I
ocratic president in Washing
ton. It was my privilege to
stand within a short distance
of Franklin Roosevelt, where
with one hand uplifted and the
other on the Bible, he pro-
nounced after the Chief Justice
of the United States the oath
of office that all presidents
take. AS an American I was
thrilled by his inaugural adj
dress. Thrilled because every
word breathed the spirit of a
new birthright for the COM
mon people.
This nation asks for action,
and action now" said the new
president.
And there was action so swift
and so sure that the world mar
yelled. Special privilege was
destroyed in the nation. Slow
ly but surely equal rights took
the place of the old order of
things.
, I'VE do not DISTRICT the fu-
ture of essential Democracy"
said President Roosevelt. 1.-The
people of the United States
have not failed. In their need
they have registered a mandate
that they want direct vigorous
action. They have asked for
discipline and direction under
leadership. They have made
me the present instrument of
their wishes. In the spirit of
the gift I take it."
In Minnesota, instead of CIV
ing the President the co-opera-
ton that he asked for, the first
cry of political insurrection has
been raised. This is astounding
because no State in the union
expressed itself more emphat-
ically for the New Deal than
did the people of Minnesota
It cannot be therefore that the
people of Minnesota and the
people of Minnesota alone have
lost confidence in the leader
