CAMPAIGN PICTURE TAKEN FOR ACTOR'S
Red Wing. - While some may think that campaign pictures have little effect on a candidate's success, possibly the success of one of the few Republicans who withstood the Democratic election may be attributed to a large vote of the women. A customer at a local restaurant noticing a framed picture asked the proprietor if he were a Robert Taylor fan. Eric Iverson, the proprietor, replied in the negative and the visitor asked Eric why he had Robert Taylor's picture framed so prominently. The picture was that of the first district congressman, August Anderson.
