Major Frank J. Lund, Republican Senate candidate, spoke at Aurelia Community Club last Friday stressing voting for his principles rather than himself. He praised Congress member Campbell for opposing the Hawley tariff and criticized Dickinson for supporting it, arguing it aids big interests over farmers. He read questions posed to Hammill and Dickinson, noting neither had replied. He warned the two would align with big interests, implying Lund’s victory would safeguard farmers. The event drew club members, wives, and guests, followed by a luncheon.
