MINNESoTANS FEAR RESULT
Have Scant Sympathy for Radical
National Group.

BY the Associate ted Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 21.-Forma-
tion here this week of the new ma
tional Farmer-Labor party makes the
second national organization of sim
liar name in existence. while in Min
nesota there is a state FarmerIabor
party independent of both national
groups.
Confusion in the use of Farmer
Labor" by these groups, while there
is no official relationship among them,
is bound to result, leaders of the state
organization said here today, in specu-
lating as to the probable effect the new
national FarmerLabor party would
have on state politics.
The state party did not indorse the
convention here this week. and the
faction headed by F. A. Pike, state
chairman, denounced it and refused
to participate in its deliberations, but
honey of St Paul took d prominent
part in the gathering. Mahoney is
member of its national committee.
Party May suffer.
Several leaders in the state organi-
cation today said they feared the
state party would lose votes in the
fall election, due to the adoption of
the .Farmer-Labor' name by the con-
vention here, as many members of
the party might vote other tickets
through confusion in party lines"
Many state F'armer-Laborites are
bittery opposed to the communist
controlled national party formed
here" one leader said, and they may
mistakenly think some of the state
F'armer-Labor candidates in the fall
election are affiliated with that ma
ttonal party and accordingly vote for
some one else"
Has Spread Rapidly.
With its origin in the Partisan
League a name abandoned in Mime
ton in the 1918 election, the Farm err
Labor party has spread from this
state to many other states. continu-
ing in Minnesota as a major party.
10th Minnesota senators are members
of the state party.
In 1920 the state party continued To

year the committee of forty-eight

Labor party of the United States and

Lake City in the field as presidential
candidate.
Plan State Meeting.
In Minnesota, however. the state
Farm Tabor party has the only
Iesal right to use that name, and
Christensen's name did not appear on
the Minnesota electors lists. This
year the state organization plans to

presidential candidate and nominate

The state organization will indorse

NEW YORK. June 21.-The New

its leaders to conduct the fight for the
nomination of Gov. Smith.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the COVER
nors campaign manager and the man
who will nominate him for the presi-

United States Senator Copeland of
New York City was chosen to repre-
sent his state on the permanent or
ganization committee
The delegation, which came unin-
structed, adopted resolution pledg-
ing its loyal, unanimous and contin-
uous support to the governor.
Because Mr.. Roosevelt will attend
the convention on crutches, as the
result of a paralysis suffered several
years ago, his choice as floor leader
was looked on as an honor which ac-
tually and actively will be borne by
Norman E. Mack.
While the state delegation was eu1o-

The contrast between the two is

other states. There are enough smith

large room. Employees are busy dis
tributing Smith buttons to all who
ask for them and the place has all
the atmosphere one associates with

Headquarters Subdued.
At the Davis headquarters every
thing is subdued. There are several
large photographs of the former am
bassador to the Court of ST. James on
easels. and those who are meeting
visitors do so more as if they were
welcoming friends than If they were
canvassing for votes.
The headquarters are being main
