Broussa, Turkey. April c0.-tP- When the kemalists abandoned the ancient and magnificent capital of the Ottomans and trekked to bar ren Angora all the world wondered.

ing the alarm as to the danger con-
fronting them on November 6. OF
course the principal concern seems to
be with reference to the presidential
situation. There is, Republican dope
sters say, possibility that Al Smith
may carry the state.
But does anyone believe that that
is what bothers these G. o. P. gentle
men most? Hardly. These men know
full we'll that if AL Smith wins Mime
sofa in November, Henrik Shipstead
will win it by an even larger ma
jority and Ernest Lundeen will sue
coed Theodore Christensen as gov
ernor.
Those who took note of the straw
vote at the state fair must have been
impressed with the strength of the
Farmer-Labor candidate for senator
as compared with the Democratic can
didate for president True, Al Smith
polled surprisingly heavy vote for so
conservative group, but Shipstead
polled a still more impressive vote.
Hoover, as was to be expected, led
Smith by small margin, while Ship
stead beat Nelson badly.
Polk County Shows Trend.
A similar result is being obtained
in Polk county where the Polk Coun-
ty Leader, an independent newspaper,
is taking a straw vote on president,
United States Senator and Congress
man. In this poll AL Smith leads
Hoover with vote of Ill to "a. Ship
stead, on the other hand, has 1875 to
80 for Nelson, and Knud Wefala,
Farmer-Labor nominee for congress.
polls ia to 81 for Congressman Sell
Wig.
This is indicative of the Farmer
Labor vote being cast in the main for
AL Smith, but it also shows that
Farmer-Labor nominees are stronger
than the New York governor. Wefald,
for example, polls three more votes
than Smith, while Hoover gets more
votes than Selvig. This is rather
strange, too, in view of the fact that
Polk county is the home Of MIR. Sell
Wig, the Republican candidate.
Bad Reports at Headquarters.
In view of these facts is it any Won
der that Republicans from all parts
of Minnesota bring bad reports to
state headquarters? At the meeting
of the state central committee last
week Republican leaders reported
from the different sections of the
state on conditions and invariably the
experienced ones conceded the out
look to be bad.
Charles Kelin of Chaska said, "the
situation in my district is bad. and
we've got to wake up and get to work. f"
Kndseth of Goodhue admitted that
farmers that are coming back from
hauling their grain to the elevators
aren't kindly disposed to conditions as
they are now"
