ship proposal and also the La Fol-

ownership of railroads.
''The candidates of the Farmer
Labor party are through the govern
ment ownership of railroads pro-
posal asking you to put a mortgage
on your homes" he said.
"Not only are they asking you to
put this mortgage on your home, but
in proposing government ownership

Hanson praised the records of Cool

our republic will be secure"
