The above figures tell a story that
cannot be refuted. There is, in fact
no way of answering the argument
contained in these figures. The show
ing denotes steady and unmistakable
progress on the part Of the Farmer
Labor party in Minnesota.
Idaho Follows Minnesota
But the showing Of Minnesota is
practically duplicated in the other
"third party" state-ldaho.
In Idaho the party of the farmers
and workers is known as the PRO

1920. The old party politicians III the
state legislature didn't like the prim-
airy election system and thus repealed

To some extent those who make
such predictions are giving expression
to their desires. They want to see
the powerful Farmer-Labor party OF
Minnesota give way to their own
political methods and plans. Before
accepting the criticism of our friends
regarding the future of the party let
us take a look at the development Of
the Farmer-LabOr movement in the
state.
Forced to Take Independent Action
The first attempt to meet the enc

pendent party basis was made in No
vember, 1918. In the June primary
of that year the Nonpartisan league
/ (Famer-Labor) folks contested the re-
publican nominations. They were I'M
successful and this compelled indie
pendent action in the fall.
Since the election of 1918 the pro
gressives Of Minnesota have placed
candidates in the field at east state

Laborites. The percentage of votes
cast has increased at each succeeding

Der 18th and closes September Oath,
with limit Of net to exceed five
birds in any one day or in the possess
sion of anyone at one time. The sea-
son for ducks and geese opens on
September 10th and stays open until
December 18th. The limit for any
one day is 20 ducks, 8 geese, % snipes,
and other migratory water fowls, %
in the aggregate.
The time for hunting is from one
half hour before sunrise to sunset,
during the open season.
1t is necessary that the sportsman
have a license for hunting and fish
ing, and this can be obtained from
L. S. Olsen at the Court House, who
has been appointed Deputy State
Game Warden for the purpose Of IS

Minnesota and Idaho are the two
states in which Independent party ac-
ton has received the general support
of the organized farmers and work
ers. There are several ether states IN
which fairly strong third parties ex-
ist. but, in these states there has not
been unanimity Of action on the part
of the progressive elements. In South
Dakota, Nebraska, Montana an d
Washington, large part OF the lead
ers Of the organized farmers and or
ganized labor have preferred staying
| in the old parties and thereby using
/ the political influence of their organ
/ izations as trading stock for their
own personal advantage. That IN
iouitous system has become all Dul
symbolic of the methods employed by
farmer and labor organizations IN the
United States.
People Demand Independent Action
The people of the entire northwest
are ready for the farmer-labor mes
sage. They are ready for third-party
action. This was shown by the vote
cast for the LaFollette-W Wheeler ticke
in this section. LaFolIette polled 3
! per cent of the total vote cast in i
northwest and Pacific Coast states a
against 29.6 per cent cast for Rcose
welt in these same states in 1912.
= But sentiment will not ever remain
with us and surely it will not grow
unless some practical plan be devise,
! for extending our organization.
: was through organization and educa
ten that farmer-labor sentiment wa
created in the first place, it will hav
to be through the same means tina
sentiment be maintained and in
r creased.
