their candidates as independents and were de-
feated by harrow margin. This shows that the
bulk of the progressives kept out of the od-party
primaries this year, with the intention of voting
this fall for the new third party candidates.
If you add the vote given the progressives in the
Republican primarie, to the vote that stayed away
you have more than enough for the Farmer-Labor
candidates next fall If even half Of those who
voted for the progressives in the primary turn to
the new third party this fall, and big vote is
gotten out of those who favor the Farmer-Labor
candidates and did not vote in the primaries, third
party success is certain in November.
The Farmer-Labor forces nominated their man
for supreme court Judge, against field OF several
contestants, on the nonpartisan judiciary ballot,
and he will face the present justice up for re-
election in the fall. The Farmer-Labor indorsed
candidates for the legislature throughout the state
were successful in getting on the nonpartisan leg
slative ballot, legislative elections in Minnesota
being on basis without party designation, the two
highest at the primary fighting it out in the fall
without regard to party lines
In Minneapolis the labor forces won signal vic
tories in getting their the county office and
legislative nonpartisan ballots, the two highest in
the primary contesting in the fall In many cases
the labor candidates led the field for county offices
and the legislature. st. Paul labor also had local
successes at the primary.
The Farmer-Labor party candidate for United
States senator is Henrik Shipstead, who will op-
pose Senator Kellogg, Republican, and Mrs. Anna
D. Olesen Democrat, who defeated Thomas Neigh
en- for the Democratic nomination.
Magnus johnson, Farmer-Labor, will fight it out
for governor against the incumbent, Preus, and
Edward Indrehus, who the Democratic NOM

the success of Brcol:hart

a platform practically
the same as the Nonpar-

had had a progressive
man in the senate, in the
person of Kenyon, who
retired to accept judge

Shipping Board under Chairman
Lasker's auspices had become the
notorious resort of political place
hunters, and has been used to a dis
gushing and scandalous extent as a
political machine" In the same
breath with depreciations of the big
American fleet under his control
and pleas for it's sale or donation
to private interests, Chairman Lask-
er is seeking to enlarge the powers
and expenditures of the Shipping
Board, Senator Fletcher showed.
Philip Manson, a practical au-
thority on the subject of shipping,
has testified that the ship subsidies
advocated by President Harding and
Chairman Lasker would be utterly
futile in creating merchant ma
rine.
In testimony given before the SEN
ate committee on commerce, Mr..
Manson said:
Il say to you that the only thing
subsidies will do will be to. transfer
from the public treasury to the peck
cts of few favored steamship men,
some of whom have appeared before
the committee, large sums of tax
payers money, and, what is worse,
it will perpetuate the graft and IN
competence which is now the real
reason for our failure to have an
American merchant marine"
A Costly Program
Payment of subsidies to private
corporations for operating ships
would commit the taxpayers to cost
ly program ef-indefnite continu-
ance, Senator Fletcher said. He dis
scented from the views of President
Harding and Chairman Lasker, who
propose subventions as the only sure
means of upbuilding an American
merchant marine.
'The vision of merchant marine
coming out of this bill is deceptive
mirage Senator Fletcher said. at
is false light. 1t means wreckage.
The end will be what the Shipping
board apparently would enjoy as
they sit in their Offices and draw
their salaries, relieved of the burden
of these ships, beholding the Ameri-
can merchant marine on their walls,
painted ships on a pointed ocean"

man of the Shipping board; James
A. Farrell, president of the Foreign
Trade Council; the American FEEDER

les and various operators of ships

render the service the people of this
country are entitled to have and

The nation is numbered by a
great fleet of merchant vessels, they
say. 1t is like saying to man want
ing to open a bank he is numbered
by capital, or to a merchant who
would like to engage in foreign
trade he is numbered by goods OF
other assets"
Fault of Board.
The failure of the nations mer-
chant marine fleet to operate sue
cessfully and economically is the
fault Of the present Shipping Board
Senator Fletcher declared.
If the chairman of the board in
stead of furnishing arguments tc
congressman and spending money or
a publicity campaign to persuade
the voters of the country to favor
this bill, would spend his time and
devote his energies to persuade
American ship owners that they
ought to patronize their own ship
yards; and American merchants
that they ought to give their bushes:
to American ships; and American
bankers that they ought to encour
age American shipping, that woulC
be much more helpful in establish
ing an American merchant marine

FLETCHER FLAYS
U.S,SHIP SUBSIDY
Declares Government Merchant
Fleet Valuable Asset To Be
Retained And Used
By GRATTAN KERANs.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Rocks
and storms are IN the path of Presi-
dent Harding's ship subsidy bill,
which he has demanded that congress
shall pass at the current session, on
penalty of being reconvened for that
purpose. These obstacles to the
+. plain sailing of the presidents pet
measure take the form of facts, fig
ures and arguments urged against
il by Senator Fletcher, Democrat, of
Florida, generally regarded as one
of the highest authorities on Ameri-
can shipping.
Senator Fletcher ascribed the fail
ure ascribed the failure of the ma
lions merchant fleet to operate sue
cessfully and economically to Chair
man Lasker of the Shipping Board,
who, he charged had converted the
board into political machine and
who spent his time on political pro-
paganda instead of attending to his
official duties as chairman.
Experts, some of them owners and
operators of shops, have estimated
that President Harding's proposed
present to the private interests
which are pressing for the passage
of the ship subsidy bill would take
from the rank and file of taxpayers
not less than S50,000,000 a year.
The advocates of this annual bonus
to powerful corporations have been
flooding the country with their pro-
paganda. Chief among these press
agents for the measure is Chairman
A. d. Lasker of the United States
Shipping Board, one of the putative
authors of the bill with Winthrop
Marvin, vice president and general
manager of the American Steamship
Owners association.
Part of the campaign for promot-
ing the adoption of the bill which
President Harding has made his ia
vorite child among the legislative
proposals now pending, next to the
tariff, is the Jealous effort to dis
credit the merchant marine estab
lished by the Wilson administration.
These ships are described in Chair
man Lasker's appeals for subsidies as
g costly heritage"
Referring to this slur on the peo-
pies vast and valuable investment
in serviceable ships, Senator Fetch
er said, in his speech in the senate:
