man. In the same primary. all the
Progressive Republicans we're nomi-
mated for the other Offices, including
Senator La Toilette. The defeat of
their candidate for governor helped
however to embitter even more the
Progressives and they are inclined to
take it out on Hoover.
PrOgreSSives Turned Down.
Nor has the Republican national
committee been politically wise In its
dealings with Wisconsin Progressives.
After weeks Of waiting it finally turned
down the La Toilette ProgreSSlveS VINO
had been chosen as members OF the
national committee, and put in their
places the choices OF the StalwartS. Also
when Mr.. Hoover was travelling through
Wisconsin before the State primary
only Stalwart leaders and Stalwart can
didateS for Office were received on his
train.
In contrast with this, however, was
the complimentary reference made TO
Senator La Toilette by Senator Curtis,
the Republican vice presidential candl-
date, when he spoke in the State.
Here in Wisconsin the presidential
electors are on one ballot and the State
ticket is on another. This makes 1t
easier for the voters to split the
tickets. Republican or Democratic, as
they desire Progressives who wish to
support the Republican ticket,t includ-
ing La Toilette. can do so, and at the
same time vote the Smith national
ticket without difficulty.
The Republicans have the better OF
it when it comes to organization. The
Democrats, while far better organized
than they have been in recent years.
still have many gaps and little time TO
fill them. The pro-Smith Progressive
Republicans are organizing in every
county. But take it as a whole the Re
publicans have the better of the or
ganization problem. and that means
lot when it comes to getting the voters
to register and later to vote on election
day.
Large Silent Vote.
In Wisconsin there are thousands OF
voters who are not saying whom they
will support in the presidential race. 1t
is this silence on the part of these voters
which leads some of the shrewdest poll
ticians here to say it is a mistake to
class Wisconsin as in the Smith bag at
this time. The Smith people are max
ing the greater noise, but there is still
a question as to whether the greater
noise means the greater vote.
A Republican drive during the last
three weeks of the campaign is about
to be launched, and the Smith adher-
ents are none too easy when they con-
slider it. The Democrats and the pro-
Smith Progressives are planning big
meeting in Madison Saturday night,
which will be addressed by Senator
Blaine and by Senator Jim" Reed of
Missouri. This is said to be the first
speech that Senator Reed will make for
Smith in this campaign. and it is await
ed with keen interest. Both Blaine and
Reed speeches will be broadcast.
The Capital Times Of this city, known
as the Progressive organ of the State,
which has always been Stanch sup
porter of the La Follettes, has come out
for Smith against Hoover editorially.
This is regarded as distinct aid to the
Smith cause here. La Follette's maga-
zine. however like Senator La Toilette.
is taking no sides in the presidential
race.

Big Sum for Veterans.
Gov Smith stopped there. He did
not say that Of the $556,000,0OO eX-
pended in 1929 $500 100000, or all but
$50 900 900 can be accounted for by the
United States Veterans Bureau, which
had not come into existence in 1914,
and whose expenditures in 1921 were
comparatively small because the United
States Government had not then begun
to meet It's obligations to Its Wounoed
and mutilated veterans.
Gov Smith cannot be ignorant OF
the fact that these large expenditures
on the part of the Government are not
only iustiflable but inevitable and IRE,
ducible In amount-and yet ne Woulo

PALMER KNUDSON
FUNERAL NOV. Il
Services Held at KnudSOn Home
in Redwood Falls. Burial
Made in Sleepy Eye

Redwood Falls friends were grieved
last week when the word was spread
that Palmer Knudson, 20 year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Knudson passed
away Monday morning, November
10Th at sanitarium after be-
ing i'll only few days. The de-
ceased had been slightly ailing, how
ever, for period of years. Tuesday,
November Goth the body was brought
to Redwood Falls where services were
conducted Wednesday. Funeral SER
vices were held at 100 o'clock at the
Knudson home and were conducted
by Rev. c. w. Gilman, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Burial
was made in Sleepy Eye.
The deceased was born on October
4th, 1899, on a farm in Prairieville
township, west of Sleepy Eye, and
was 20 years of age at the time of his
demise. He moved to Redwood Falls
with his parents over twenty years
ago, where he attended both the
grade and high schools. After leav-
ing Redwood Falls he travelled for
different firms in America and Eur
ope.
He leaves to mourn his sad death,
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Knud-
son, and two sisters, Evangeline and
Pricilla and his grandmother, Mrs.
Emma Lee.
Out of town friends and relatives
attending the funeral were Mr.. and
Mrs. Phillip Lee and Mrs. Ella Werr-
ing of Minneapolis; VIM. Werring and
son VIM, Jr., Mr.. and Mrs. Walter

MAY NOT OPEN LAW
TRAP MUSKRATS

The unprecedentedly heavy catch
of muskrats in this state last spring
is one of the reasons said to be lead
ing the state game and fish commits
sion to hesitate about opening the
season next spring.
Under the law, the commission has
authority to declare the season open
for thirty days between March l and
April 80. This year it was open for
a month during this period, resulting
in an extremely large number of
muskrats being taken.
Some doubt was expressed here
that the commission would declare
an open season next spring. The
market on both modern and southern
nuskrats is said to be good at this
time with skins in demand.

EXTRA SESSION IS
FAVORED BY CLACUE
Minnesota Congressman FavOrs
Special Session of New Con-
gresS for Farm Relief

According to recent daily press re-
ports from Washington, Representa-
tive Frank Clague of Redwood Falls,
chairman of the Minnesota delega-
ton in the house, favors a special
session of the new congress to pass
farm relief legislation and to revise
the tariff upward on farm products.
"The country" said Mr.. Clague,
"does not wish farm bill passed by
a lame duck congress which would be
the case if legislation is enacted this
winter" Mr.. Clague expressed the
opinion that in electing Mr.. Hoover
to the presidency the country indi-
Gated a desire that his administra-
ton should attempt to solve the farm
problem.
81 have had numerous letters from
my district (the second)," said Mr..
Clague, Gin which it was urged that
farm relief is matter for the new
president and the new congress to
deal with. l agree entirely with that
view." Mr.. Clague will call a meeting
next week of the Minnesota delega-
ton for discussion of the farm stu
alton. He is sanguine that members
generally from the corn belt will ia
vor consideration of the farm problem
at a special session of the new con-
gress, rather than in the session that
will begin on December and end
March A.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clague recently left
Redwood Falls for Washington, where
they will be all winter.
