bride. The dog started out In the d.

the dog came to the forks Of road

to the right, and then they would pro-

elected every one of their candi-
dates.
The prospects, judged by the vote
in the various districts, is that the
Townleyites will lose fully half their
nominees in the final test.
Two Socialists Nominated.
Two Socialists have been nomi-
mated in Minneapolis districts, one
OF whom may be elected, but that
would not be much help.
Senators are elected for four
years. and that safeguards Mime
sofa from the threat Of a Socialist
constitution, such as the league is
trying to put over in North Dakota,
for at least four years.
Townley Loses House, Too,
Chances for Townley to control
the lower house are almost equally
slim. There are only 81 Townley
nominees for 131 seats in the house.
and it takes Sc votes to control.
the wayside in November.
For a candidate to be eliminated
in the primaries means that he ran
third, as the two highest in the pTi-
mary are the nominees. Weakness Of
the Townley nominees Is shown by
the fact that they got on the ticket
in only 10 senatorial districts where
there was a contest June II. The
other 81 nominees for the senate
who are on the Townley list got on
by default. Loyalists in each dis
trict had agreed on one man, SO that
only two fled and both went on the
ticket without a vote.
Many Nonparty Men Eliminated.
Districts where Townley candi-
dates for the senate ran third and
were eliminated include the Hous-
ton Fillmore district, Winona, Free
born. Martin. Whtonwan, Rock
Mobiles, LIE Sueur Rice. Dakota,
Wright, 36th or rural Hennepin dis
trict, A5th or Benton, and parts Of
Stearns and Chisago Pine.
Nomination Of some Townley can
didates was due to the fact that
ioyalist votes were concentrated on
one man rather than divided some
what evenly, thus letting in the
league entry.
There also were 10 of the Townley
Endorsements for the house lost in
the primary shuttle. OF the CT who
did get on the ticket, only 26 landed
by reason of primary contests the
other Il winning places by default.
Every Townley candidate for the
house and senate faces opposition in
the fall.
Townley candidates for the lower
house were distanced in the primary
races in Houston, Fillmore, Free
born, Faribault, Watonwan, Rock,
Big Stone, Beltranli, Le sueur and
Polk counties. In the last named
county there are four nominees for
two places. The Townley men have
one nominee.
