been voting her straight ever since
1860, when Abraham Lincoln was it's
presidential choice by vote of 22.O69
to 1920 for S. A. Douglas, the DEM
ocratic candidate. Four years later
the Immortal "Abe" was again the
REPUBLICAN candidate, but his Mime
sofa majority on this occasion was only
1858. In the following two national
elections, covering the years 1852,
General U. S. Grant was the repub!i-
can choice and he prevailed by ma
jority of 1926 in 1868 and by 2O,497
in '72. In 1876 the greenback party,
the parent of practically all the third
party affections that have since fol-
lowed, made its appearance with Peter
Cooper as its offering. The Green
back ticket, however, had little effect
on the general result, polling less than
$500 votes. Hayes and Tilden had
the popular call, the former prevail
ing by majority Of nearly $4,000.
James A. Garfield was Minnesota's
choice in 1880 and James G. Blaine in
1884, the former finishing with ma
jority Of 40,587 and the latter by
41,620. In each election the Green
back party was contender. In 1884
the prohibition party made it's first bid
for support with St. John as it's
choice, and found Minnesota agreea-
BILE to the extent Of nearly 5000 votes.

Minnesota Presidential History.

Only once in it's so years Of state
hood has Minnesota repudiated the
regular republican national conven-
ton presidential nominee and that was
in 1912 when President Taft, Woodrow
Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt were
the principal contenders for its cleo
toral vote. While Minnesota did not
go democratic, President Taft, the re-
publican nominee, was not to the ik-
ing of the voters and Theodore Roose-
welt was the choice instead with a
record vote of 1856 to 64,334 for
President Taft Woodrow Wilson.
who prevailed that year, participated
in the general discomfort to the extent
Of 1OS,426 Gopher state votes. The
nearest Minnesota ever came to invad-
ing the democratic column was in 1916
when President Wilson, with his ''kept
us out of war" slogan, upset all Co.
pher state traditions with a record
vote of 1882 to 1854 for Hughes,
his republican rival. Minnesota has

Protection for the Farmer.

As long as the United States was a
great surplus producing country the
farmer got no benefit from protective
tariff on his products; his prices were
fixed by his export surplus. But now
consumption has just about overtaken
production, and the question of pro-
lection on farm products is matter
of vital Importance. Freight rates on
corn from Argentine to our eastern
coast are less than freight rates from
the Mississippi river to our eastern
coast. AS result, millions of bushels
of Argentine corn have been coming
onto our eastern markets and have
been offered at from 10 to 40 cents a
bushel less than the price prevailing
on United States corn. That was one
reason for the big drop in prices not
long since.
The vegetable oil trade situation is
even more serious. During the past
year we have imported nearly 600,-
100000 pounds of cocoanut and soy
bean oil. These substitutes are used
as substitutes for lard and butter
The amount imported during the past
year is more than one-third of our
total annual lard production If this
sort of thing continues it is not hard
to guess what will happen to prices Of
corn and prices of corn belt land.
Senator Harding, the republican
presidential candidate, has been very
tiat-footed in his statements that he
will stand for whatever protection the
American farmer needs to enable him
to compete on a fair basis with the
farmer who lives in countries of cheap
land and cheap labor, where agricul-
ture is still being exploited.
