Over Platform, Candidate
for Governor.

Mr.. and Mrs Ernest DargiS, A. w
Rose Svetich, attended the Republican
gathering at the Minneapolis Armory

the Ely Republican club.
They express themselves as very much
enthused with the proceedings at the
convention attended by delegates from
every part of the state and where an
enthusiastic welcome was rendered the
Republican candidate for governor,
Harold Stassen.
Mr.. Stassen in his keynote address
at the convention made an attack on
the small group of radical political
bosses entrenched on Capitol Hill" and
declared "the most important step to-
ward improved conditions in Minnesota
is to restore and build up the purchas-
ing power of Minnesota farmers"
A most comprehensive platform was
adopted by the convention providing
for a plank allowing labor to organize;
a civil service law for state employees;
revised freight rates in favor of the
midwest; laws curbing loan sharks;
of garnishment legisla-
ton.
Further recommendation in the plat
form call for a united effort to build
and reduce unemployment
a changed attitude on the part of
government to encourage private busi-
ness; making the state capitol a clear
ing house for communities seeking new
industries and for industries seeking
new locations; to develop the states
tourist business, taking politics out of
the schools and colleges and to furnish
equal opportunities for all the pupils of
the state.

1--WE harbor lots of memories con-
corning fishing expeditions near Ely,
Minnesota in the waters of Eastwood
and BURNSIDE lakes.
well do we remember the day in
August we encountered a bear there
in wild blueberry patch. We don't
know to this day who was the most
surprised, the bear or yours truly with
a quart pail in his hand. We won't tell
you how fast we made it back to camp
but it was very nearly nothing fiat.
Bears, wolves, deer and moose are
common up there and so are the big
fish, Doc, so have yourself some real
sport.
