ton Speaks at Moose Lake
Monday Night.

Former United States Senator Mag
nus Johnson spoke at Moose Lake
Monday evening in his campaign for
nomination to governor on the Farm
er-Labor ticket to a good sized audi
ence. In his expression against the
all party machine which he states
is now dominating Farmer-Labor
state offices, he drew good applause
from his listeners. Magnus, in his
old colorful style, did not mince
words as he attacked certain heads
of state departments for allowing
them to use state cars and state gas
in furthering the candidacy of his
opponent.
Although Magnus johnson did not
mention his primary opponent by
name, nevertheless he pointed him
out as the man who had first been
appointed securities commissioner
then banking commissioner, then
United States Senator and let it be
known that this man was the selected
individual of small group seeking
only to use him as a means of re-
naming secure in their own posi-
tions. The former senator stated that
it is time to rid the party of selfish
politicians and place instead therein
men who have campaigned on the
Farmer-Labor ticket and who are in
terested in the principles of the
movement
elected governor he would continue
to work for progressive government
and urges the passage of liberal leg
,islation. He announced that he would
conduct his campaign on his record
as legislator in the United States
Senate and House; and state House
and Senate and that his record in
public life is open to the voters to
study.
