Reports Of discord among the or
ganization forces of the Farmer-La-
Dor party are not altogether idle
gossip. Unlike the Republican
crowd, whose chief trouble seems to
be an unwillingness on the part of
the Old Guard to be tossed into the
discard without as much as a thank
you, the disturbing factor in the case
of the Farmer-Labor managers is
money. Notification of some OF the
rumors in circulation is found in this
weeks issue of the St. Paul Union
Advocate, union labor organ, in
which considerable space is devoted
to a censure of go-as-you-please at
titude on the part of number OF the
Farmer-Labor candidates and de-
cided tendency by these same candi-
dates to hog all moneys collected by
them. The chief offenders, the I'm
ion Advocate says are those who
have taken over the job Of putting
Minnesota in the LaFolette column.
The Farmer-Labor state executive
committee has opened headquarters
in the West Hotel in Minneapolis and
because of lack of cooperation on
the part of candidates and allied
party units has been unable to func-
ton properly. AS the Union Advo-
cate puts it the chief money hog is
the crowd behind the presidential
candidacy of Senator LaFollette.
This particular bunch has employed
a number of solicitors whose job is
the collection of $3.50 from each La
Folette sympathizer in the state.
Of this amount fifty cents goes to
the solicitor and the remaining $500
is divided equally between the nation
al and state LaFollette organiza-
tons. Commenting on this hoggish
attitude and the possibility of disast-
er the Union Advocate says: at will
mean not only that thousands of dol
lars will be collected, but dual or
ganization will be built up which
will divide the money and resources
of the party and cause friction and
division among it's members" There
are other grievances, but the threat
ened diversion of funds seems to be
the most serious.
n
Word is to the effect that United
States Senator Shipstead will short
ly begin a six weeks speaking tour
of the state in the interest of his
senatorial colleague, Magnus Johnson.
Well, if Magnus was ever in need of
help it is right now as from all &C
counts his Republican rival, Tom
Schall, is getting the crowds and
what is more he is holding them.
Press reports covering Mr.. Schall's
speaking engagements are certainly
painful reading for Magnus. Added
to this is the statement by the heads
of the Railroad Brotherhood that
Schall's candidacy is favorable to the
Brotherhood and that the organiza-
ton will keep out of the Minnesota
senatorial fight this year. Aided by
his faithful wife Tom is making from
two to three talks day and his aud
fences are invariably large in num-
bers. His speaking itinery, his man.
ger say will. carry him through to
the end of the campaign and will in
clude every county in the state. Con-
sidering his physical handicap Mr..
Schall is blind-the Republican SEN
atorial candidate is putting up
campaign that is wonderful. So far
he is regarded as the best Republican
