Inspired to new confidence and
vigor by the words of Wendell L.
Willkie, Republican candidate for
president, at Minneapolis Saturday,
thousands Of determined Minnesota
Republican workers this week turn
ed the national campaign in this
state into what they say Is cru
SADIE to preserve democratic gov
eminent in the United States.
Squirting them onward in their
fight was the announcement that
Governor Harold E. Stassen, lead
er in the Willkie movement, this
week will begin a swing around
the state in behalf Of his own can
didacy for reelection and those Of
Wendell Willkie and Charles L. Nc
Nary, Republican candidates for
president and vice president.
It was a fiery, fighting presi-
Dental candidate who received the
ovations Of thousands in back-plat-
form talks at Winona, Red Wing
and Hastings, who responded to
the cheers of scores Of thousands
on the streets of the Twin Cities
and who was introduced at the
Minneapolis Auditorium by United
States Senator Henrik Shipstead.
Because Willkie els waging a
great campaign in behalf Of Amer
lean traditions-which sometimes
are even stronger than the written
law-he is going to get my vote in
November" Sen. Shipsteed said,
declaring that violation Of the
Third Term tradition endangers the
continuance Of free government.
Twelve thousand men and wom-
en- from all parts Of the state rose
to their feet to cheer Shipstead's
words and to shout themselves
hoarse as Minnesota's veteran lib
eral Senator introduced Wendell
Willkie.
At the outset Of his talk Willlie,
obviously swayed by the thunder
GUS reception, departed from his
prepared talk to condemn the pro-
longing Of the depression by the
New Deal and to deliver a ringing
denunciation Of the Third Term
tradition violation.
"You know, this is not the first
depression we ever had" he said.
"But never before have we failed
to climb out Of the depression and
to reach higher levels than ever
before.
Were it not for the New Deal
our annual national income would
be $125,000. 600, 900 instead Of about
$40, 900, 100000
would any common sense per-
son vote for the administration be-
cause Of the fact that IL has spent
two-fifths Of all the money spent
by the federal government in all Of
its history? Would any person re-
commend spending huge sums in
county or township government at
the rate the New Deal is spending
money?
would anyone in this common
sense midwest vote for this adj
|ministration when unemployment
has actually increased under it in
the last four years."
He challenged "the third term
candidate" to explain, when he
makes those political speeches after
abandoning the non-political mill
tary inspection trips, how he can
claim to be a liberal candidate
while having the Frank Hagues,
the lly-Nashes and the Ed Flyns
attempting to steal elections In
three Of the nations major cities"
People Of Minnesota" he said
in conclusion. IF we are to have
a continuance Of this administra-
ton, we are headed down and down
and down. I appeal.to you, I plead
with you to become missionaries,
every one of you with me in this
great crusade to save America"
