ment became intense. He was APP
preached by representatives of the
state administration and urged to
resign to make way for another per-
son. He did resign. He worked less
than 10 days. 1 should like to ask
the governor how it happened that on
April 10th, 1889, this individual re-
ceived in one day, five state checks
for $40 each, a total of $3.50. Was
this case of money illegally paid
out? The people of Minnesota are
entitled to know, and the governor
has personal knowledge of this par
ticular case.
Stassen With Money Crowd.
This is a state campaign, and yet
| it links itself with the national cam
paign. Governor Stassen went out of
his way to labor for the nomination
of Mr.. Willkie. He is travelling over
the nation-campaigning for h m.
Governor Stassen has lined himself
up with the big utility corporations
and Wall Street. He wants business
to run this country.
do not propose to lead parades
to the west coast or the east coast,
but shall state to the people of Min
nesota where l stand in this national
campaign.
1 do not agree with everything
that President Roosevelt has done,
but l do know that he has been a
friend of the farmer and friend of
labor. l know also that he has been
friend of the aged and friend of
Americas youth. Mr.. Willkie says
he agrees with President Roosevelt
on foreign policy. President Roose-
welt wanted CONSUMPTION. Mr.. Will
kie likewise. Roosevelt would also
conscript wealth, while Willkie wants
to conscript only your boys.
President Roosevelt is master
diplomat while Mr.. Willkie is not
even an amateur.
F.. ID. r. Real Liberal.
On domestic issues Roosevelt rep
resents advanced liberalism while Mr..
Willkie represents the crowd that
gave us Harding and Hoover and led
us into domestic disaster.
The liberal voters of Minnesota
must support President Roosevelt to
make sure that the social progress
of the last seven and one-half years
shall not be lost. The worst enemy of
President Roosevelt in Minnesota is
Governor Stassen. The battle lines
are drawn.
It is important that Minnesota elect
a governor that will cooperate with
President Roosevelt and not sabotage
the national administration in order
to build up his personal political
fences.
1 urge all liberals to work and vote
for the reelection of President Roose-
welt.
People Need Liberals.
We desire and invite the support and
assistance of you who agree with
our program and principles. We need
your help, and we want thousands
of workers.. Write tonight to the
Hjalmar Petersen Volunteer Com
mittee at Saint Paul.
We need liberals leading the ma
ton and the state. 1 believe with
the liberals in the rights of labor,
that the farmer must be given a
square deal or most of us suffer, that
the small business man must be pro-
tected against giant corporations and
monOpolies, that social security must
be maintained and improved, and
that the aged must be cared for
through a national old age pension.
Our country with its vast resources
can provide adequate pensions for
our elders, which in turn will give
more opportunity to youth.
We are fighting big odds in Mime
sofa. Wealth and its power is ar
rayed against us. But, victory, is
assured, if the average voter real
ICES that the present governor has
aligned himself with the forces that
do not concern themselves with the
welfare of the common man. It is
our fight to restore Minnesota to the
ranks of progressive states. It is our
fight to see that Minnesota casts her
votes for President Roosevelt.
