NATIONAL FARMERLABOR PARTY SUCCESSFUL
From the Minnesota Union Advocate, June 10

The National Farmer-Labor-P Pro
gressive convention has been held and
its work is a matter of history.
No like undertaking ever encoun-
tered greater opposition, or more vi
cious and unfair attacks. From the
day it was decided to hold national
third party convention until it adj
jOurned sine die it met with increas-
ing malignity.
But in spit of this volume and va
riety Of hostility, the convention ac-
complished its purpose in a most sat
isfactory way. An excellent plat
form has been adopted, able and rep
resentative candidates have been
nominated for president and vice
president, and the foundation has
been laid for a great national Farm
er-LabOr party.
Surely the character and purpose
of the convention should have evoked
the commendation of every farmer,
worker and the other elements who
are the victims of the present ini-
quitous industrial conditions; and it
should have received the support and
those promoting it should have had
the cooperation of every intelligent
worker who must recognize the ne
cessity for unity and harmony if the
common people are ever to escape
from their present wretchedness.
1t was to be expected that the old
parties would fight the idea Of a con-
vention of farmers, workers and pro-
gressives; but when organized groups
representing the working people join
ed in the attacks, success was made
doubly difficult. AS a last and su-
preme stroke Senator LaFollette was
pressed into the service Of the oppo-
sitiOn and employed his powerful in
fuence to kill the convention.
The last stroke, without doubt
seriously affected the attendance, ano
cut the size of the convention to q
fifth Of what it would have been with
out Senator LaFollette's denunciatiOn
The character and spirit Of the con
vention was likewise influenced BY
the perpetual hammering of its enc.
mics.
But the delegates were finally
brought together and a spirit cf de

futile effort to save themselves from
impending disgrace and exposure.
But they will lOse-lcse because the
members of the organization have had
more than enough of their betrayal
and mcOmpetency. In order to de-
feat the candidates nominated by the
farmers, those who would save the
Association from ruin, CreSap and
Jewett have already spent a huge
sum of money travelling over the
state speaking to the members, try
ing to Whitewash themselves and at
tract attention away from their own
mismanagement of the Association by
attacking the motives of those who
are trying to save the Association.
They are saying that the reds, the
communists, the farmer-laborites are
trying to capture control eff the orga-
nization for nefarious purposes-that
these people want to put new men
in office, but they are not saying a
word about their own incOmpetency,
their betrayal of the wheatgrowers of
Montana, their friendly alliance with
the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce which has been so profitable to
the grain gamblers and dealers and
so costly to the farmers of Mon
tana, which IS the real issue involved,
in the election and the controversy.
They don't care to talk about that.
They don't talk about their inability,
the tremendous overhead expense, the
incompetent handling of grain-Pres.
Cresap and Mgr. Strawman, like
Daugherty and that ilk, having some
thing to hide, talk about reds and
communists.
It is hoped that the Wheat Growers
Association will be in new and COM
petent hands in plenty of time to
handle the fall crop which promises
to be a bumper.
It is reported that Cresap has Of
fered to resign in the cause of har-
mony, if the rebels would agree to
retain Strawman as manager, IN or
der probably to prevent an audit
but the proposition fell upon deaf

preston and distrust prevailed at the
outset. This feeling was aggravated
by the local newspapers, which did
their utmost to destroy the morale of
the delegates by seeking to differenti-
ate and array one set of delegates
against the either.
AS the convention proceeded and
the delegates began to get acuuaint-
ed with each other their mutual con-
hdence increased until finally there
was the utmost good faith and TN
anlmlty among them. Aside from a
few unlmpOrtant outbreaks eff suspi-
clOus individuals. it was an extreme
ly harmonious and constructive gath
ering.
1t was charged that the "Commun-
lists" were in control and would run
away with the convention. In the en-
tire period cf the convention there
was not at any time q test Of
strength, and on practically every
important occasion the vote was al
most unanimous. The convention did
not divide ON Communist and non
Communist principles
If the Communists" were in the
majority, they did not show the least
inclination to employ their power in
putting across any one of the oUt-
standing views they hold, either in
matter Of principles or tactics.
The leaders showed a disposition to
go the limit to lay the foundation
for a great Farner-Labor national
party, and deserve the most unouali-
fed praise for their moderation and
good sense in subordinating thecretic-
al principles to practical accomplish
ments. Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Ruthen-
berg both employed their vote and
counsel to promote the purposes for
which the convention was called, and
have given the lie to their traducers.
We believe the convention accom-
plished in the highest degree the
great work for which it was intended.
1t has laid the foundation for a great
national party of the common people;
and it deserves the confidence and
cooperation of all other groups
seeking the emancipation of those
who live by labor.

about five or six places and all were
found on this car as he described
them which was verified by Walter
Olsen, the man from whom the car
was originally purchased. There can
be no possible doubt that it is Mr..
Heels coupe and steps will be taken
to apprehend the thieves and recover
the other coupe, belonging to Ole

night that Mr.. Hoel's was taken.
1t is clear that Mr.. Markuson
bought a stolen car and will no doubt
be willing to aid the authorities in
getting these thieves. Mr.. Markuson
states that he bought the car from

time visiting relatives in Minnesota.
