Ing well received in Minnesota. anc &C
r9~rirr 10 reT4oytS brought to the SUM-
,,esT rsnifal hy political observers from
that State. there is not the slightest
6oljhs about the way things will SO
next November
There exists some dissatisfaction
en.nrc Minnesota farmers because oi
tl,e failure Of the last Congress to pro-
vide some form Of agricultural relief.
and there is reason 10 know that II
GOV Smith Of New York is the Demo-
cratic nominee he viii receive the vote
of many Republican vets, but the gem
eral belief OF political observers IS that
Minnesota will be found in the Repub-
iicaa column when the votes are
counted.
These observations we're made here
tonight by 2 group Of editors OF small
carers and farm journals throughout
the State who have been attending the
convention Of the Northern Wisconsin
state Editors Association at Duluth,
few miles from here. The consensus Of
opinion smcn9 them IS that the pres
ent opposition among some agrlcul-
fl,raf sections 10 Secretary Hoover will
be nfTsst bv the friends he has made
IN this section through his efforts IN
tbs interests Of developing the st.
Lawrence waterway from the lakes 70
the Atlantic This proposed waterway
project is Of vital importance to the
shippers "a this section and II Is OF far
more importance 10 them than any
thing that has vet been held out in
the way Of farm relief.
Sees Shipstead Defeat.
Z. < Whiting. publisher of the
Evetonna. Mimi, Journal Chronicle,
president Of the association and prom
inent in Republican politics not only
feels confident that more than 80 per
cent of M!nnesota'S normal vote will so
for Hoover and Curtis but he is hope
ful Of the Republicans defeating Sena-
to- ShipStead for the Senate. He
pointed out that Arthur E. Nelson OF
s. Paul nominated Monday By the
Republicans 70 oppose ShipStead. is
popular and a splendid campaigner. and
with the help he will receive from the
national ticket should nose out the
Farmer-Labor Senator
According 10 the viewpoint of this
editor Gov. Smith would make as good
p showing IN Minnesota as any enc the
Democrats could put up. but he doubts
Il his being the standard bearer will
cause any material reduction in the
normal Republican vote He stated
THAI the people IN Minnesota are well
pleased with the accomplishments of
The Coolidge administration. and are
anxious 20 see things continue as they
are and for that reason they are ready
to rally around Hoover's banner. be-
cause they feel he has been a part of
the present administration.
Republicans in Minnesota and in Wis
ccrSin are hoping that Secretary Hoover
win visit this northwoods country soon.
They would like TO have a peep at him
and possibly 20 hear some utterance re-
garding his platform Despite reports
from Washington that he viii come to
the Summer White House before going
70 his home II California to receive the
formal notification of his nomination.
there is reason TO feel that the PreSi-
dent has not yet been notified TO that
effect.

fuliy respecting the Presidents wishes
