County Commissioner
OF OREGON
We recommend to you very highly our three-term Gov­
ernor, Harold E. Stassen, for the next President.
We know him well. He was born on a Minnesota home­
stead which his father and mother are still farming. He has
always been right on agricultural questions, from oleomarga­
rine and cooperatives, to parity and conservation. We also
have confidence in him on the big issues that affect us all. He
has been firm and consistent against the communists. He has
been a constructive leader in every respect. He backed an
outstanding farmer. Edward J. Thye, as Governor and as
United States Senator.
How Farmers Backed Stassen
We farmers of Minnesota have been solid behind Harold
Stassen. The best proof of this was his sweeping victory in
the farming areas of Minnesota in his third election after we had
had the chance to see how he acted as Governor for two terms.
In his third election as our Governor the farmers
backed him overwhelmingly For example, in the
corn-hog county of Martin down near the Iowa line
Stassen received 4,881 votes to 1,717 for his opponent.
In the dairy county of Goodhue on the Wisconsin
line Stassen received 5,535 votes to 2,711 for his op­
ponent.
In the wheat and diversified agricultural county
of Rock on the South Dakota line, he received 1,819
votes to 471 for his opponent.
And in the big agricultural county of Otter Tad
up on the North Dakota line he received 6,327 votes
to 4,580 for his opponent. In the state as a whole he
received 409,800 votes to 299,917 for his opponent.

We know we speak for the farmers of Minnesota as a
whole when we recommend him to you as the liest man for
President of the United States, in your May 21st primary.
With our neighborly liest wishes,
Sincerely,
FARMERS FOR STASSEN

"Roads in the Ashland area should be improved immediately. They are im port­
ant market roads, and residents in that area are entitled to just as good high­
ways as any other part of the county. This especially pertains to the Dead
Indian and Lake of the Woods Road.’’
3. LOWER TAXES
