MinnesOtd's Choice of Senator
Vital to Harding's 1924 Hopes
Election Viii ShOw Year ahead of Cam
paign If Former Vote Is Still
Alienated BY Discomfort.

labor leaders have dramatized the
discomfort of the farmer in much bet
ter fashion than have defenders of
the existing regime in presenting
promises of program of relief. Sena-
tor Kellogg was a member of the
farm bloc" in the United States SEN
ate and had something to do with the
pushing through Congress of nearly
every piece of legislation the feder-
ated farm bureaus wanted.
Tactics More Successful.
The answer is that his opponents
went further and further to the left
of radicalism and made him appear
a conservative alongside of Ship
stead.
Conditions are somewhat parallel
today. Senator Shipstead has a can
didate in the field, Senator La Fol-
lette will probably go to Minnesota
to help elect said candidate, and the
entire national republican machinery
will be put behind Gov. Preus, who.
while not standpat republican, is
nevertheless sufficiently popular in
the state to win, If any regular re-
publican can.
Efforts to get President Harding
to invade Minnesota in person have
been futile. Politically he could not
afford to participate in the campaign
in aid of Gov. Preus.
Use Harding's Speeches.
The President, however. is not in
different to what is going on in Min
nesota. His speeches on the western
trip dealing with agricultural subjects
will be used in the state of Minnesota
by party workers who probably will
seek to aid Preus by pointing out that
the national administration at wash
ington wants him and needs him. But
as for any definite commitment by
Mr.. Harding, he cannot take the
chance of increasing the number of
natural foes he will have in the next
Senate where the margin of ten or
ele'.sn votes is none too comfortable,
especially when there is an insurg-
ency already as formidable as that
which broke up the Taft regime.
Minnesota's election is bound to
have an important bearing on the
presidential campaign as well as the
legislative outlook for next session.
Radicalism beaten in Minnesota means
rise in Harding stock Radicalism
triumphant means more trouble for
President Harding and incessant tur-
moil in the next Congress-
tCopyri 1921
Evening star., 1923-06-17
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Minnesota's special election Of a
United States senator to be held
shortly is taking on the proportions
of a national campaign
Fortunately or unfortunately the
special election will bring to a eli
max fully a year ahead of the 1924
presidential campaign two phases of
national politics that cannot but have
an important influence on the future
of President Harding.
First, has the farmer discomfort of
the west subsidized? If it has Mr.. Hard
ing's prospects are immeasurably i'm
proved.
Effect on Congress.
Second. is the farmer discomfort
still as potent as it was last autumn
when Senator Brookhart swept Iowa
and Senator La Toilette won his over
whelming victory in Wisconsin? If 1t
is, then the chances of harmony in
the next Congress. where the LaFol-
lette group holds the balance of pow
or. augurs poorly for the accomplish
ment of anything important and
means constant bombardment or the
Harding citadel.
The death of veteran, knute Nell
son, whose record of independence in
the United States Senate was unpar-
alleled yields controversy over a
successor that would have attracted
only perfunctory interest were it not
for the surprising defeat admins
tered to Senator Frank b. Kellogg
last autumn.
Uusaliy when people talk about
elections they think about a contest
between Republicans and Democrats.
There is no such thing coming in
Minnesota. That's what makes the
Minnesota contest national in aspect
and significance.
Farmer Vote Decisive.
It's a fight inside the republican
party between radicals or liberals and
conservatives. The farmer-la bor
party operating i'm the republican
ranks the one hand ano the con-
servative interests of the state on the
other meet in battle with the leaders
of each group aware that in an agri-
cultural state of such size the farmer
vote is the deciding factor.
But the farmers themselves are di-
vided into radicals and conservatives.
The North Dakota experiment next
door has been sufficiently notorious
for radicals to boast it's ADVANTAGES
and for conservatives to point out it's
perilS. The election of Henrik Ship
stead, the candidate of the farmer
llabor party, last autumn was a sur
f'Drlse, because it was thought the
North Dakota doctrines were on the
decline when the opposite appeared
tosAe the case.
The real trouble is that the farmer
