He is genu- inely loved by far more than he knows, because he claims nothing for himself and demands nothing that is personal. Mr. Nelson came to this country with his widowed mother, penniless. He passed his boyhood in extreme poverty. By hard work on the farm the family came to comparative com- fort. A farm has been his home all his life. All his leisure from pubhc life is spent there near the httle city of Alexandria. He is in no sense the “gentleman farmer.” He can be found in the grain fields in harvest time, with a shovel in the draining ditch in fall or spring, with the threshing crews or in the barns,| ™™ and in the evenings in the library of his modest home. In rm“f,,y:,’"v:,‘;‘;;cg‘f‘g,e'“;,,F,‘;"},’;;“,\gf' Wasghington he lives in the same modest fashion, and after afvemver 5th. lifetime spent in public life, and only the earlier years as a lawyer to lay the foundations for what might have been a considerable wealth, his farm represents the bulk of his fortune. 1t is for such a man, for sturdy Knute Nelson, whol]y un- pretentious, almost unconscious of his own distinction and fame, that Minnesota has the chance to honor itself by an overwhelming vote next fall. If, indeed, loyalty, support of the war, backing this administration of the oppomte party and absolute devotion to the flag is the one paramount issue, there should not be a vote against him. No man hongrs himself by bemg a candidate against him. His closest friends know how sincere and genuine was his desire to withdraw from public life at the -close of his present term in the senate. It was only because of the insistence of the people of the state regard- lss of party and that grew in volume as the months passed, that he finally consented to enter the primaries. If any man was’ literally drafted for pubhc service he was, It is not just a duty to vote for him, it is a privilege, and no one can better show his own Americanism than by such a vote for Knute Nelson. This coming term will close his public life and his splendid career of unwavering support of popular government of, for and by the people, and he should go back to the senate w:th such an endorsement as will not only reward him, but will be an incentive to younger men and prove that Americans, as a great free people, appreciate his kmd of public servants, their servants.
