THE PRESENT SITUATION.

w pending national conventions wen where
w presidential issues are to be deter
mined, Minnesota is facing its own little political
affair in the form of it's primary election June
IS. The primary is sandwiched in between the
republican and democratic conventions.
AS to the presidential lineup, the pre-con-
vention campaign is entering it's final phase
That stage is now among us which calls for de-
featist propaganda in effort to head off the
leaders. 1t is noteworthy that Lowden leaders
talk more of victory, but admit frankly that
they hope only to keep the matter open until
the convention is called to order at Kansas City.
Lowden's friends, in the McNary-H augen
bill ranks, now are bringing all possible pres
to bear in desperate effort to prove that
Hoover cannot be elected. That is their dying
hope. The convention is silly, of course, because
no sensible man who is not absolutely biased
would claim that AL Smith can carry Minnesota
or Iowa other northwestern states over Hoov-
er. There is no ground for the argument that
Hoover is unfriendly to agriculture simply be-
cause he does not indorse the McNary-Haugen
bill-he is too able an economist not to see that
agriculture must prosper.
The state primary campaign promises to be
very dull except for the senatorial fight and
that contest is somewhat of love feast the three
republican candidates conducting a most gentle
manly campaign. Senator Rockne far has
the edge, because of his excellent record in the
legislature his knowledge of state affairs, and
his general experience and acquaintance Rockne
has the distinct advantage of being from the
country, clear of the entanglements which pol
itics in the Twin Cities have seen recently. Fac
ing the hard facts of the situation, it must be
conceded that Rockne stands much the best
chance of defeating Senator Shpstead in Nov
ember.
The governorship trace" is so unimportant
that it is attracting little attention. Governor
Christensen is unbeatable, and the type of cam
paign being waged against him is not hurting
him bit Governor Ted apparently will not ev-
make political speech, though he is appear
ing now and then at nonpolitical gatherings,
where he is particularly effective.
There is little or no competition for party
nominations in the of most state offices, the
principal battle being for the position of railroad
and warehouse commissioner. Lack of contests
matter of fact, is likely to show itself in q
light vote June Is.
In the second district the congressional con-
test will not appear in the primary there is
just candidate in each of the three parties.

"Tergiverous Tim" Of Mortified, alias W. F.
Schilling, Minnesota's leading dairyist, has been
appointed by Governor Christianson and Secre-

June. Writing in the Mortified News "Tim''
tells Of all the things he is going to see and
do while abroad, his itinery including visits to
all the countries Of North and Central Europe.
He says of his contemplated visit to the Scan
danavian countries:
I'm going to Norway and Sweden
to see If there are as many Johnsons
and Andersons left there as there are in
Minneapolis. Then I win go over to
little Denmark, which is only one-fifth
as large Minnesota, and milk q COW
and try to find out how the Danes buy
our high-priced feeds and feed it to their
cows and make it into butter and ship it
over to compete with the Minnesota
dairy farmer"
If "Tim" finds out how the Danes do that
little thing, and get that lesson across to the
Minnesota farmers he'll be doing more for their
financial welfare than could be accomplished by
Ia hundred farm relief bills.

ton of the State Game and Fish Commits
makes the following timely comment on how
to abuse the wild flower growth in MINES
One of the greatest attractions Of
outdoor Minnesota in the springtime
is the abundance and variety of flow
ers. In many localities they are found
in such great patches that it might ap-
pear they never could be exhausted. But
in other localities they have disappeared.
It should be remembered that 1t one
time many believed our forests, our
game and our fishes were illimitable and
inexhaustable. The fallacy Of that view
point has long since been established.
Our wild flowers likewise must be con-
served. That does not mean that the
privilege Of gathering bouquet should
be denied, but the flowers should not be
wasted. Don't tramp them down un-
necessarily. Don't pull them out with
their roots. Always leave few on each
stalk. And don't take more than rea-
sonable bunch that you are sure you can
care for properly.
