New Ulm review., 1922-11-15

An analysis ct the vote shows that
Mrs. Olesen did net receive moce than
$4,000 votes over that accorded Larry
Hodgson, the Democratic candidate
for Governor two years ago. Ship
stead ran stronger than he did in his
race for governor two years ago. The
total vote this year was more than
100000 less than two years ago when
the Harding landslide swept Mime
sofa.
In a statement issued after election
Dr.. Shipstead declared that it was his
ideal to bring the government back to
to the people. He said that banker,
manufacturer, farmer and labor must
be consulted to bring this about. The
advantage, heretofore, has been with
the banker end manufacturer, he as
serted. DR.. Shipstead was interviewed
by R. B. Pixley Of the Minneapolis
Tribune. His statement follows:
Il will vote to GUST Newberry, of
course, DR.. Shipstead said. II said
that during my campaign. But New:
berry is only one issue. I referred to
Wall street too. My idea Of New York,
and by that 1 mean the controlling
interests th2ce, is that they sit b.~ck
and look upon the rest of the country
much as Great Britain looks upon
India. They imagine that VIXEN they
need a senator they can ccne out
here and get one. This is net a feu-
dal state, and the people are not serfs
Wall Street is not the chosen people
to lay down the laws.
Zone trouble is, the United States
has been ruled by the spirit of Mair
street. New York is Main street
looking down on the smaller cities
The smaller towns are Main street
looking down upon, the rural poprla
ton: That is not a big spirit. It i

"The Esch-Cum.nins law is an ovi
dence Of til spirit. It must be amend
ed, if not entirely repealed. Freight
rates are too high. The system Of &C.
quisition in this country is perfect, but
the system CT distribution will be The
ruin CT it. Hero is en- example. The
farmers CT Clay county raise potatoes
Their .rarket is Kansas City. It costs
them II cents a bushel to get theil
potatoes to that market. Distribution
must be, reorganized so as to get the
markets closer to the producer. All
that has been said before, but it is
tine something was done about it.
''The tariff bill recently enacted
needs attention. That law will drive
the present Congress out Of business
in two years. 1t favors Only a part
OF the people. Understand, I hold ne
grudge against bankers or manufacturers
as such. I insist, though, that they
shall be Americans first and bankers
and manufactures aftelward."
What about third party" DR.
Shipstead was asked.
"That is something I have beer
asked about" he said. Especially
since election. No one can tell what
will ccrre in the fvtuce, but no man O.
group Of men can sit down and or
ganize party in this country, and ex
IeCt to control that party and then The
country. It is not given to any group
to plan the course of destiny Of this
country. No one can tell what the fu
ture will bring in the way of party
alignment. Party lines mean nothing
Just now. &. .5, t5aI,.lx
If certain combination CT circvm
stances arise, the country may hav,
new party. The Republican, Fart,
was born out Ct a coordination sefScir
cumstances and Of certain forces swhicl
came to the top. There were nationa
issues which were beyond the contro
OF men, and out Of this cane THERE

If any group now has an idea tha
a few men can get together and c5ntro
the country that might as well b
forgotten. It can't be done. Idea
and principles and men will count.

not express any definite hore on til
