Order Your CONEYS AND BUNS For Picnics Bulk and Boxed Candy and Nuts VERNONIA BAKERY HOME OF BUTTER CRUST BREAD Y From the Farmers OF MINNESOTA To the Farmers 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 com-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 Tail | 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. In the Township of Eureka, which is a complete township of milk producers in his home county of Dakota, where they had known him for two terms as county attorney and two terms as governor, he re ceived a remarkable vote of 158 to 27 for his oppo nent. * You would not have snickered and sneered and made jokes about hell in those days. Men then left off everything to find God. Amer ica was on her knees crying— God be merciful to me, a sinner. It was the revival in the 1850’s with God mighty convicting men of their lost state. Do you of today picture God as being old and all love and so soft as to wink at sin? Then listen to Rev. 20:15—“Whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life, was cast into the Lake of Fire.” To escape the wrath to come be lieve in Christ as the Lord and Saviour who died or you. Believe that your sins are blotted out. At that God adopts you and sets you for glory and takes up in your heart to make you his New Creation. See a Cor. 5:17. —“I received Christ as my per sonal Saviour 25 years ago. He now looms greater in my heart and thinking, than- when I first believed. No investment yields so sure a return as a life com mitted to the Lord.” ERLING C. OLSEN, Vice Pres. Fitch Bros., Wall Street, New York. S. W.
