Desertion Cannot Halt
the Farmer-Labor Party's
Progress in Minnesota
BY J. LOUIS ENopAHL.

NTAGNUS JOHNSON, candidate Of
A'A the Minnesota Farmer-Labor
Party for governor in the recent
elections, polled 266,S45 votes as
compared to the 395,779 given to
the successful republican, Governor
Theodore Christianson, candidate
for reelection, and the paltry 49,
COS given to the candidate Of the dis
appearing democratic party. The
vote held, fairly well for the other
Farmer-Labot Party candidates on
the state ticket. The quarter of a
million votes cast for Magnus John
son was not popularity vote. 1t
was a party vote, the vote Of the
Farmer-Labor Party
This gives added importance to
the statement issued by Magnus
Johnson following the election, and
has a considerable bearing upon the
vascillating stand of Hendrix Ship
sted, the Farmer-Labor senator with
two years yet to serve. Magnus
Johnson said in part:
"The result Of the election, while
disappointing, is not disheartening.
The causes which led to the forma-
ton of the Farmer-Labor Party are
still with us.
6. The continuance of the
Farmer-Labor Party can be justified
only on the ground that it is fun
damentally different from the old
parties.
1--WE deny that we are a third par
ty. We are and have been from our
inception the second party in Min
nesota. We are morally certain the
great mass of voters will, when
they understand our principles bet
ter, come into our fold
1--WE appeal to all men and women
who have common cause with us to
remain firm in their devotion to the
Farmer-Labor Party and its prin-
ciples.
Personally, l have no political
ambitions. l shall be content to
work with the rank and file to aid in
completing the work we have be-
gun"
1t was the duty of Senator Ship
sted to have made a similar state
ment. But he didn't. He is silent.
1t is charged that he will join
Frazier and Nye, LaFollette and
Blaine, Brookhart and Norris, in Civ
ing support to the republican "old
guard" group in the senate. 1t is
declared further that he is planning
to run for reelection in 1928 as
republican.
Shipsted has denied none Of these
reports. His silence is an admis-
sion as to their truth. 1t is also
a source of great confusion and per-
haps little decentralization for the
workers and farmers of Minnesota
who raised him to the position he
now occupies.
The workers and farmers in Min
nesota, who are urged to begin
now to prepare for the next cleo
tion," cannot wait for Shipsted to
chose his own exit. They witnessed
his sabotage of the campaign be-
fore the election. They behold him
sulking now. They have a right to
believe that he has decided to &C
cept favors from the White House
rather than continue the struggle on
the side fof the plundered in Min
nesota and thruout the nation.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-25

The Farmer-Labor Party can get
along without Shipsted. But Ship
sted cannot get along without the
Farmer-Labor Party. The Farmer
Labor Party can slough off few,
or many as the case may be, of
traitors, and continue on its way.
But once Shipsted lands in the ditch
Of political obscurity, not even the
republican party can pull him out
again to do its dirty work.
The quarter million workers and
farmers who voted Farmer-Labor
this November make up a veteran
army that has come thru eight years
of bitter fighting, as an independent
political power, against the preda-
tory interests-the railroad barons,
the grain spectators, the bankers
and landlords, leagued enemies of
labor.
The lawyer, Quigley, and some of
the discredited officials of the Non
partisan League, tried to lure work.
ers and farmers into the democratic
camp, even in the campaign Just
closed. The negligible vote-less
than 40,O0O-received by the demo-
cratic candidate is excellent testi-
mony of the complete failure of
these renegades. If Shipsted at
tempts the role of republican
Quigley'' he will succeed just as
miserably.
Now that it has become certain
that the LaFollette insurgents have
sold themselves to the republican
"old guard" for a few chairman
ships and attractive committee as
signments, the Wall Street regulars
can be depended on to push for "un-
derstandings' and concessions"
The Chicago Daily News has been
among the first to speak out, de-
handing that mere understanding
for the organization of the next con-
gress is not sufficient. 1t asks:
Are the regulars seeking to as
certain the views of the insurgents
on revenue legislation, tax reduc-
ton, the merchant marine, Muscle
Shoals, waterways, Philippine policy,
ratification of the treaty with Tur-
key and other pending subjects
upon which action is regarded by
the administration as essential?
If peace is to be negotiated with the
insurgents, the basis of the agree
ment should be something better
than power and patronage Eva
sion of fundamental differences may
prevent discord for time, but moth
ing would be gained in the end by
such course"
In other words, the LaFollette
insurgents" are not to be allowed
to enjoy the comfort of their "at-
tractive committee assignments.
Coolidge and kellogg, Watson and
Butler, will ever be at their ell
bows, like some inescapable Mephis-
topheles, demanding new exactions
from these political Fausts.
The workers and farmers must
rally against the LaFollette in
surgents who have accepted the tu-
torship of the political agents of the
money power. The indications are
that Shipsted will join this group of
turncoats. Then there is only one
thing for the workers and farmers
to do, to turn him out of the party
Of labor. The quicker the better.
