Voters of Minnesota will have an
opportunity to elect United States
Senator, Governor, other state
officers, Congressman, members OF the
state legislature and county officers
at the general election November q. :
When voters go to the polls they
will receive three ballots, samples OF
which are produced elsewhere in the
Review, giving the names OF candidates
running for office. One of these is the
state ballot, another the county ballot
and the third a ballot giving the two
Constitutional amendments to be
voted on by the people.
Three Parties In Race.
The three parties which have entered
candidates on the State ticket are the
Farmer-Labor, Democratic and Re-
publican. The campaign has centered
about the heads of the tickets OF these
parties. A short sketch OF each OF
these principals follows.
DR.. Henrik Shipstead, Farmer
Labor candidate for the United States
Senate, has pledged himself to work for
the interests of the farmers and wage
earners. Two years ago, as a candl-,
date for governor on the Farrner-L labor
ticket, he polled s281,402 votes. W. If It
had not been for the Harding landslide
he would probably have won out. 8. /
DR.. Shipstead's Record. q. =
DR.. Shipstead served for two years
as mayor of Glenwood, Mimi, and
then went to the state legislature
where he made a 100 per cent labor
record. He was selected to head the
Farmer-Labor ticket because ot&.has
thorough progressiveness, his knowl-.
edge of the problems OF the farmers,
his interest and support OF the workers,
and his bread guaged view OF all.
national problems.
The chief opponent Of DR.. Ship
stead is Frank B. Kellogg, present
Junior Senator from Minnesota and
candidate for reelection on the Re
publican ticket. Senator Kellogg was
an attorney for the steel trust Tor 10
years before elected to the Senate.
He was counsel for the international
Harvester company after his election,
and during his six years in the Senate
he has voted in the interests OF blg
business and not the common people.
Kellogg Voted For Tariff.
Senator Kellogg cast his vote for
the Fordney-M McCumber tariff bill
which will raise the cost OF living by
4,OO0,OOO,OOO. The bill was drawn
by eastern manufacturers to protect
them from foreign competition and
the rest of the country must pay the
bill. It gives the farmer slight pro-
lection on some things he raises but
charges him FIVE times as much for
articles he must buy.
Senator Kellogg voted for the Esch-
Cummins bill with it's guarantee tof
5 1-2 per cent to railroads on a valua-
ton which included a vast amount OF
watered stock. He voted to seat
Truman H. Newberry in the Senate
after Newberry had spent $195,OOO
to be elected to that body from
Michigan.
Has Flayed Kellogg.
Mrs. Anna Dickie Olesen is the first
woman to have ever been nominated
for the United States Senate. In her
campaign for election. on the Democrat
ic ticket she has shown no mercy to
kellogg and has severely criticised his
record wherever she has spoken. She
has shown herself to be remarkable
campaigner but due to the fact that
the Democratic party .polled but
10000 votes at the last election, it is
no longer one of the major political
parties in Minnesota and vote fo1
Mrs. Olesen will be vote for Kellogg
In fact the Republican bosses hope
that Mrs. Olesen will take enough
votes from Shipstead so that Kellogg
