citizens, like you and me. The cleo
ton of two years ago, called Saving
| the state from socialism by the KEEP
press the Pioneer Press Dispatch, tn,
Tribune and the. Journal was jus
saving the state for the steel trust
so that it can pull out 10 years from
now and leave us with nothing but Z
bunch of big holes in the ground
Let's combine
High appreciation of the purposes O
the farmer-labor party, the Nonparti
san league, and the workers, was ex
pressed by all members of the con
ference committee. They are JUS
as anxious and as honest as ourselves
in their desire for a housekeeping OF
capitol hill,'' was the statement made
by all members.
However, the committee reported
that as the progressives had decided
to wait until Saturday to name theil
ticket, and the democrats felt they
must adjourn last night, no action was
believed possible.
| With this knowledge the anti-fusion
element started in to name the whole
ticket, and accomplished it, despite
protests, and despite the leaving Of
many disappointed delegates before
the convention ended rs
Both Nonpartisan league and Wor.
kers' Political league conventions de.
cided Friday to file their candidates or
the farmer-labor party ticket.
Both conventions headed their tickets
with DR.. Henrik Shipstead, Minneapolis
for United States senator, and State
Senator Magnus Johnson, Kimball, fol
governor. -~ --s ..'t ..'-
Final Offer Advanced.
The Nonpartisan league convention
however, adopted a resolution calling
for a final attempt to reach accord with
the democrats. The proposal was
made that Senator Johnson would re
tire as candidate for governor il
Mrs. Peter Oleson would retire as
democratic candidate for United States
senator. 'rr ~ =.
THIS would leave DR.. Shipstead to
get support of all forces oppoed to
the republicans for senator and would
leave Edward L. Indrehus, democratic
candidate for governor, with the in
dorsement of farmer-labor forces.
Some opposition to the proposal was
manifest in the workers convention
when that body reconvened at 2 o'clock
Friday afternoon.
