posed for reelection in the November
election by the man who defeated him
in the primary two years ago.
This contest in the Seventh Mime

the United States senatorship, in
which a woman, Mrs. Anna Dickie

Prohibition is NOT an issue in the
contest involving Volstead, for he will
be opposed by the Rev. o. ]. Kvale, of
Benson, who declares himself "as dry
as Volstead with little to spare"
Mr. Volstead has the endorsement of
the republican district convention,
while both the democratic and the
farmer-labor conventions endorsed the
candidacy of Rev. Kvale. In 1920, as
the Non-partisan League seeking the
republican nomination, Rev. Kvale
nosed out Mr.. Volstead in the June
primary by 1850 votes to 15,O59.
Then charges of violation of the state
corrupt practices act against Rev.
Kvale were sustained, the nomination
was declared vacant, and the republi-
can district committee selected Mr..
Volstead as the republican candidate.
With the approach of the fall cleo
ton that year, the Kvale faction cir
