STATUS OF LABOR PARTY
Attorney General Hilton Called
Upon To Settle Question.


st. Paul, April Attorney Gen
eral Clifford L. Hilton was asked
to determine whether the farmer
labor party had maintained its
standing, and if so, if the candi-
dates of the Nonpartisan league
would be permitted to file as far
mer- labor candidates, rs they said
they would, inasmucn as the far
mer labor party had no conventions,
The point has been raised that
under the convention law. DIR. Her
rik Shipstead and the other mem
bers of the nonpartisan slate might
not legally be entitled to file as
farmer labor candidates, although
the attorney general was under the
impression that the. farmer labor
party as a party had by virtue of its
three candidates who were in the
field two years ago, maintained an
accredited standing.
The Nonpartisan league candi-
dates it is known, are eager to di-
vorce themselves from the name oil
the league while still retaining
league support. If they ignore the
primary, as it is said they will, ii
will be come necessary tor them to
