VOTERS PUNISH MACHINE

A widespread feeling Ct discomfort
has finally found expression, in Mime
sofa in. the election CT Dr.. Henrik
Shipstead to the United States Senate.
For years foes Of the machine have
rallied at the Republican party but
they have not been able to unseat it.
1t has gone blthely alcne, calling
those who did not agree with it So
cialists and Nonpaftisan LeagUers, and
persuading a majority CT the people
that it alone could guide their desti-
nies.
But times have changed and the
old battle cries during the last ca.n-
paign failed to frighten that g'eat mass
Of silent voters who have previously
been whipped into lire. They knew
something was wrong. They realized
the Republican party had failed, to
remedy conditions in times past by
calling the opposition Names. They
needed the Arguments Of the Progress
siyes that the party in power was con-
tpolled by poNe fnl special Interests
rather than the common people.
The result was the most stinging
rabuke ever administered in Mime
sofa politics. TIE Republican machine
vas staggered by the blow and it
would not have taken much more to
knock it out entirely. Frank B. Kel-
log, head of the machine ticket, and
