legislation, then in the form OF the
McNary-Haugen bill. He asked moth
ing for himself.
Then he voted with the Republicans
and turned the trick. Nye was re-
warded with the craftsmanship of the
public lands committee, and is still
loyal to the party organization. In
order to put a more pronounced Re-
publican label on Senator Shipstead,
the Republicans later made him
chairman of the senate committee on
printing, an acknowledgement they re-
garded him as one of themselves.
Shipstead refused to admit any obli-
cation, and later filed as a Farmer
Laborite

Now the Republican leaders are
confronted with the question of wheth-
er they shall continue to feel grateful
by refusing to give aid and comfort
to the Republican candidate, or shall
invite the lightning by doing so. 1t is
an embarrassing question for them
Besides, there is the general politi-
cal situation to be taken into consider

Nor is it overlooked that Senator
Shipstead is the author of the pend
ing bill to curb the use of injunctions
in labor disputes by the courts, some
thing especially desired by labor, so
all in all it is thought by many of the
leaders that Shipstead is a good per-
son to avoid picking fight with.

Republican campaign. Many Of the
Republican workers are disposed to
ditch Arthur E. Nelson, nominee for
the senate, but those who have that
in mind are apparently not going to
have their way. According to stories
in Republican newspapers last week
only OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Republi-
cans are going to have anything to
do with the campaign. Moreover
those in the party who were boosting
the candidacy of Lowden in pre-con-
vention days are to be excluded from
any say-so in the party's affairs be-
tween now and November 6.
Mackenzie, Marsh, Sterling, Outside.
Senator Claude Mackenzie, Repub-
lican national committeeman from
Minnesota, has apparently been left
out of the picture. The same is true
of Charles H. Marsh of Litchf1eld, and
T. Otto Streissguth of New Ulm, and
Charles w. Sterling of st. Paul. This
seems little strange as it goes with
out saying that the Lowden element
of the Republican party was easily
in the majority at the convention last
spring.
Rudolph Lee of Long Prairie and
Ludwig L. Roe, chairman of the Re-
publican state central committee, both
ardent Hooverites, are to have active
charge This means of course that
Christianson and Nelson are largely
responsible for the plan of campaign
which has been adopted and it also
means that the Republican organiza-
ton in charge will make consistent
fight for Hoover, Nelson, and Christ
hanson.
1t is of course natural that the par
ty should have to show some SEM
blance of consistency in the support
of it's candidates, but # does seem a
bit strange that the representatives
of the majority element in the party
should be politically ostracized and
thrown outside the breast works.
In the meantime the Farmer-Labor
party is going ahead with its cam
paign to elect its state and congress
ional candidates on November 6.

SHIPSTEAD GAINED
GREAT INFLUENCE
Strategy Board Thinks It Over Before
Trying to Beat Him
(By George F. Authier)

(By George F. Authier)
Friend or Enemy" is query that
is being asked by Republican leaders
of the senatorial campaign committee
in Washington, relative to Senator
Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota.
Just how Senator Shipstead shall
be treated is causing no end of worry.
Senator Metcalfe of Rhode Island,
chairman of the Republican senatorial
committee, is typical of the doubt ex-
listing. Today, Senator Metcalfe said
he did not know just how the commit
tee would react to the Minnesota SEN
atorial situation. 1t is the policy Of
the committee to give such aid as may
be needed to Republican senatorial
candidates, and he does not see how
an exception can be made in Mime
sofa but, nevertheless, there is doubt.
The Minnesota situation will be con-
sidered at meeting of the senatorial
TENDER.
ShipStead Key Man.
If the rule of the committee is fol-
lowed out, it will be the purpose Of
the committee to give such aid as Ar
thur E. Nelson, the Republican candi-
date, may require or call for, but
1t is not overlooked by the Republic
can leaders that Senator Shipstead is
a sort of perpetual pivot in the senate
so long as he remains there. Neither
are they certain that he will not be
back.
The Republican majority in the
last session was one on paper only
because, with the LaFOllette group
ready to do battle, and with the mild
er radicals like Borah and Howell
prepared to throw monkey wrenches
in the machinery, there never was a
real Republican majority at any time.
Acted With Caution.
But when it came to organization,
Shipstead was needed He was need
ed very badly.
The Minnesota senator acted with
caution. Before committing himself,
he formed an alliance with a few
others, including Nye of North Dakota.
He insisted upon a promise from
Floor Leader Curtis, now the Repub-
lican vice presidential candidate, for
an early consideration of farm relief

CHAPTER XI-Selwood drugs Tracy
and, with Pardaloe and Scott, gets him
across the river to safety. Returning
alone, he finds the Vigilantes at work

burns his place of business and re-
turns to Tracy.

Puzzled at the situation, Selwood

started for the horse barn. He
noticed that the barn lights were
burning, particularly the stationary
lanterns on both sides of the front
door. At the moment he approached
the front Of the barn, in the shadow
Of its side a masked man, apparently

barn itself. The two almost collided.
The man from the barn dealt the
Vigilante a fearful blow across the
head with club.
The Vigilante, evidently a man Of
great strength, staggered, but Crap
gled with his enemy, only to receive
a second blow that would have felled
any but the strongest. The handker-
chief, symbol Of the raiding party,
slipped from his face to his neck,
but, dazed as he was, he clinched with
his assailant and struggled with him.
Selwood, little as he liked the red
handkerchief, liked a game fighter,
and watched the struggle the dazed
man was making against one evident
ly no better than cowardly MUIR
derer. Though 1t might be one Of his
own men, Selwood liked less and less
his manner of fighting, and saw, as

wagon, the nipping air settled on his
neck and shoulders like nodded ice.
After Scott had crawled into the
warm place, stern resolve to obey
orders gradually CONCEALED within
Pardaloe into the conviction that he
could stand guard as well inside the
cabin as outside. Where the silence
was SO intense that the. sneeze OF
gopher would alarm every living
thing about water hole, Pardaloe
felt, perhaps rightly, that no human
being could possibly sneak up on him
unawares.
Once inside on the Job, the embers
dying on the hearth pleaded, together
with Pardaloe's benumbed Joints, for
new lease Of life. Tracy was
breathing regularly, and Pardaloe,
cautiously scraping the fragments Of
fire together with the flreproof ends
of his fingers, laid few chips OF
wood across them and turned him.
self for a few minutes into quiet
but energetic bellows.
Sitting, giant-like, over the tiny
blaze he coaxed thus from the dark
ness, the big fellow stared into it a
few minutes, pulled his shotgun hand
lily up beside him on the earthen floor,
drew from a hip pocket pack Of
cards, busted off space below the
fire with his hat, and began his soil
taire.
When Tracy, half an hour later,
woke from his heavy sleep and
opened his eyes on the dim and mys-
terious scene before him, he might
well have thought himself in a from
tier nightmare. A smoky lantern
burned vaguely on the hearth, and
the uncertain light from the dying
fire threw Pardaloe's huge bulk
grotesquely up on the ceiling. Tracy,
lifting himself slowly on his elbow,
looked with blinking eyes and tried,
as he stared, to collect his sluggish
faculties.
1t was not very long before he per-
ceived that the fancied bandit, loom
ing over the squirting flame while
counting ill-gotten spoil, was only
playing some sort Of game of
cards. And when Pardaloe turned his
head sidewise-as he did at inter-
vals-Tracy thought that the bulky
torso outlined on the wall and cell
ing and the disreputable slant of the
shapeless hat on the mule boss head,
betokened some one much like Bill
PardalOe.
Once convinced Of this, Tracy was
not slow in asking questions-which
he made frequent and sharp. Parda-
loe, beyond acknowledging his iden-
tity was loath to talk, shrewdly reck-
oning that If there were explaining
to be done, Selwood would prefer to
do it himself.
In these circumstances, 1t was no
time before Tracy and 'Pardaloe were

SLEEPY Cat, l reckon. Mop he ex-
claimed, contradicting himself sud-
denly, grabbing his shotgun and
springing to his feet with all the
celebrity and something Of the grace
of a grizzly bear. "Now he repeated,
standing for an instant silent aud
alert; for as the radio picks the
music of a human voice out of the
silent air, Pardaloe's trained ear had
drawn from the perfect silence of the
desert night the echo of distant hoof-
beats. "The boss amt in Sleepy
