All state and legislative candidates

their positions on important issues
involving agriculture before the
November elections are held. A de-
cision to send out such question
nair was reached by county directors
Of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, who held their third annual
business session at the Minnesota
State Fair last week. A committee,
to be named by President j. F. Reed
will prepare the QUESTIONABLE and
send it out with as little delay as
possible.
When the proposal was presented
it was suggested that such action
would throw the Federation into
politics, Proponents held that farm
crs have a right to know how any
candidate, regardless of party af-
filiation, stands on matters pertain
ing to agriculture, and that it is a
duty of the Federation to give them
such facts. After debate the motion
carried unanimously.
Directors voted to lend the in
fluence of the whole Farm Bureau
movement to the campaign now be-
ing waged to obtain favorable action
on Amendment No. |, which will

WE'D RATHER LOSE WITH HONOR
THAN WIN WITH A RED"

John Fields lost in his race for gov
ernor of Oklahoma but in his losing,
the loss was not a political one. In
this state, which is overwhelmingly
democratic, the republicans could not.
and did not, hope to win for partisan
aggrandizement. They made the fight
for Good Government and in that fight
were joined by thousands Of good earn
est democrats. Had they lost politi-
cally the result would not have been so
disastrous for, who will say that good
government is not safe in the hands Of
an honest man, be he democrat or re-
publican? The tragedy is that Okla
homsns are not just sure what they
have elected-whethnr democrat, Sc
cialist, non-partisan Lacquer or RED. :"
A vast number are convinced that he
IL not democrat and multitude put
him down as plain RED" Time will
tell. At any rate, Fields and his entire
organization, democrats and republic
cans, made a clean, honorable cam
paign which should have won. We'd
rather lose with such crowd than
win with Walton for we sincerely fear
the results. Broad-minded citizens
do not feel that the country will go to
the ''bow-wows" because of party de-
feat if party alone suffers but, when
principles of good government are sac
rificed to conglomeration Of all gov
ernments and no government, it is time
for conservatives to become aroused.
The Herald will be as glad as anyone
II Jack Walton does make good. We
await with fear and trembling.
