One Lead in Minnesota.
BY the Associated Press.

ST PAUL, Mimi, June 17.-Repub-
lican nominees for United States Sen
ator and governor and the Farmer
Labor gubernatorial selection had
not been definitely determined today
when tabulation of returns from Mon
days primary election was resumed
here.
Magnus Johnson, Minnesota's ju-
nior senator, was renominated on the
Farmer-Labor ticket in walkaway,
registering a vote that may run on a
ten-to-one ratio over the nearest of
his two opponents.
oscar Hallam of St. Paul, former
associate justice of the state supreme
court, has a lead of 5000 votes over
Representative Thomas d. Schall in
the Republican senatorial contest.
ChriStinnSon in Lead.
For governor, Theodore Christian
son of Dawson had a lead of 1000
votes over Curtis NJ. Johnson of Rush
CITY on the Republican ticket, with
the other four candidates pressing
them closely. Floyd B. Olson, Henne-
min County attorney in Minneapolis,
was leading the field of seven for the
Farmer-Labor nomination.
In the congressional contests Os-
car Keller of St. Paul was renomi-
mated on the Republican ticket, Rep
resentative c. R. DAVIS was running
behind A. H. Andersen in the third
district, and the returns from other
contests were too meager to def
nitely indicate the trend of the vote.

officials of the Post Office Depart

somewhat similar documents. This

1t was said that as long as the

sealed envelopes. as first-class letter
mail, it is practically impossible for
the postal service to stop them:
There is no way, officials said, for
mail clerks in the field to spot" such
documents. as there is nothing what
ever about their exterior to differ
entiate them from millions of other
letters in the mails.
Those who send such propaganda
out, it was admitted, are very clever
in placing them in the mails. They
never mail them in bulk at one mall

different boxes, at different times, so

such matter.

Only on a search warrant issued by
a United States attorney could postal
inspectors seize mail matter and in
spect it. That is what makes it diff
ficult for postal authorities to stop
the use of the mails to such 'ap-
peals." Only when it gets to its
destination and is brought by the

matter has been in the mails.
According to the best opinion at the
Post Office Department today, such a
.'proclama ton" comes within the
scope of the postal laws barring from
the mails matter melting to insurrec-
ton.
The communist appeal is to be
turned over to the bureau of investi-

for action, possibly prosecution, if
the senders can be identified and To-
Gated. Locating the authors of such
propaganda, it was pointed out is

chairman.
Mr. Mahoney reviewed the history
of the FarmerLabor party in Mime
sofa, said that the time was aus
picious to disrupt the old parties,
and urged the delegates to act in
unity so as to END the reign of the

This is not primarily a La Fol-

movement ith La Toilette as an

Expected Easy Sailing.
When this convention was first
projected last November 1t was never
realized that such diverse obstacles
would be encountered. 1t was
thought that it was the thing that
every progressive element in Amer
lea wanted.
I'VE have since learned. however,
to our great surprise and sorrow,
that we were encroaching on sacred
ground and infringing the preroga-
tives of certain would-be great polit-
ical leaders and organizations, and
we have had to overcome the most
energetic and malignant opposition.
The character and extent OF this
very opposition have, however, had
the effect of stimulating our deter

himself was inveigled into joining
the effort to kill it," Mr.. Mahoney
sketched the conference of November
at which the convention was decided
on, and said the sentiment was for

being that we could not afford to be

unite on a basis of common economic
interests"
He added that they hoped then to
carry enough states to throw the
presidential election into the House
of Representatives, saying the most
vital consideration was that the char
acter of the campaign would con-
tribute to the breaking up Of the old
party alignments and out of the scat

Mr.. Mahoney asserted that while

to Drop Two-Thirds Rule if Unit
System Abandoned.

You may have the abolition of the
two-thirds rule and the election of
candidates by a majority of the

vided you will agree to do away
also with the so-called unit rule by

Is being made by supporters of Gov
Al Smith of New York and Senator
Underwood of Alabama to the pro-
posal of the McAdoo managers that
the two-thirds rule be done away
with. So far. it was learned today
the McAdoo supporters are not agree
able to such a proposal. Many of
the state delegations, including some
800 delegates, have been instructed
for McAdoo and will vote under unit
rule. 1t is understood that many of
these delegates if left to their own
choice would not follow the McAdoo
ticket beyond the first ballot, and a
number of them would not follow
it on the first ballot.
1t is well understood here that the
two-thirds rule is considered by the
McAdoo forces as the principal obsta-
Gle to the nomination of William
Gibbs McAdoo for President on an
