he's a newcomer as it is the way he

of his whole campaign. and two
words describe it: Lone wolf"
The situation favored Stassen
when he forced his way into the
gubernatOrial race I'm 1888. Min
nesOta was in a bad way. There
was vandalism and corruption,
and the Farmer-LabOr party,
which had held a stiff grip on
the state, was diSintegrating
through its own weakness and
graft. Stassen entered the race
against the wishes of the Re-
publican Old Guard, but he
eventually forced them to help
him to some degree. 1t was
largely his own efforts, how
ever, that elected him.
In other words, ''he butted into
the governorship," according to old
guard critics. Others say he did it
merely as step to the presidency,
and that it was part Of his over
weening ambition-the same thing
they say about Governor Dewey of
New York. But the old guard fears
Stassen's type of ambition more
than Dewey's. They fear it because
they feel that should Stassen be.
