Minnesota Should Be Proud
OF Humphrey

The state of Minnesota has chance years

the burgeonng candidacy of Senator Hubert Humphrey for
the Democratic nomination for President.

support his home in effort achieve

otherwise from several of influence in Minnesota
who members of his party
felt certain hard define interest in Sassen receiving the
Republican nomination. and have feeling that he had

StaSsen
In Minnesota today there thousands of citizens who
recognize that Humphrey clearly of Presidential stature and
well but yet there does be

The average state would be proud to have Presidential
possibility promising capable and fOcefu Senator
Humphrey We think Minnesota is rather proud too
but too hargc to be helpful in any real campaign
for the nomination.
In Massachusetts, the Democrats all out for Kennedy
and among the Bay State COP there sort of pride

don't expect Republicans drop their party
loyalty just because Minnesota has Democrat who is being
favoraby considered for the Democratic nomination. but
would expect pride would dictate that members
of the COP would like enjoy the prestige that state
which has formidable contender for the Presidency
Republicans the well the Democrats have
