THE Farmer Labor Party in Minnesota is the
principal party of big business in the pres
ent election campaign. 1t becomes more and
more clear that the capitalist class in Mime
sofa is backing the social fascist Farmer La
Dor Party and expects this party to secure the
election of at least its candidate for Governor
Floyd B. Olson, present county prosecutor of
Minneapolis. As in previous years the Farmer
Labor Party has made an alliance with the
democratic party and is not campaigning eff
fectively against the democratic candidate for
U. S. Senate, Hoidale. The democratic party
in its turn has made its candidate for gov
ernor, Inderhus, mere figure-head who was
not even present at the recent State Confer
ence of the democratic democratic campaign
committee and whose name is seldom men
toned in the campaign The republican party
is not conducting vigorous campaign for its
candidate for governor, Frank Chase
The Minneapolis Tribune, the chief organ of
big business in Minneapolis, reported on Sept
80 that 'the first move in an alliance between
the democrats and farmer laborites in the cur
rent campaign made by William J. Gal
lagher, who announced his withdrawal as dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in the tenth
district (three wards in Minneapolis) in be-
half of Erling Swenson, farmer labor nom
inee." The same issue, in another column
carried the news that Hoidae, democratic SEN
atoris nominee, had come out with state
ment praising H. Shipstead, present farmer
labor senator, and defending him from attack
on the part of the republican party. The al
lance between the democratic and farmer la
Dor parties therefore, comes out in the open
once more.
The so-caled cleft wing" of the farmer la
Dor party has been fully exposed in the pres
emit campaign as part of the social fascist
FLIP. machine. Such elements as Ernest
Lundeen, now FLIP. candidate for U. S. Sen
ator Emil Youngdahl, candidate for legisla-
ture on the FLIP. ticket, and Walter Frank,
candidate of the FLIP. for State Senator, arc
doing the dirtiest work for the farmer labor
party.
These elements which have posed as
friends" of the Soviet Union, are now APP
pealing for unity of the FLIP. ranks, run for
office the socialfascist farmer labor ticket,
and indorse all of the social fascist activities
of the FLIP. They serve the valuable role
of being the cleft mask of the farmer labor
party. Walter Frank who was expelled from
the ranks of the Communist Party some years
ago for his treachery, is now the leading cleft"
phrasemonger of the FLIP, and serves to fool
the workers by giving out Musteite phrases.

Simmering Down Gravel Pits

The title may sound queer, but it is all
explained in one of the most illiterate pieces
of anti-Communist writing we've seen in
blue moon. 1t is taken from editorial in
the Herald" of Plentywood, Montana:
Communism and socialism may sound fine
in theory but does not work in actual practice
and is merely gravel pit, and when it is all
simmered down it will be found that the entire
political institution is merely the sink hole that
is about to be foreclosed on in the near future
to freeze out the stockholders and all the cred-
itors."
Maybe this means something, but how gravel
pits are simmered down and frozen up and
foreclosed on is mystery to anybody except
the reactionary editor of Plentywood in the
head.

cop, Mike Casamassino, ''felled by thugs"
so he said, was missing at roll call and the
story he told Of how the ruffians set upon him
and smote him on the bean was long and lurid.
Then he revised it. There was lady. They
had quarreled. And in a taxi the lady was
continuing to tell him what she thought of
him. In an heroic moment which never came
over him when on strike duty, Mike pulled
out his blackjack bowed his head and said
"All right if you still feel that way about
it. go ahead. Hit me on the head"
And she did. Then left him. He woke up
in the hospital and decided on second thought
that the lady, Mrs. Donate, had taken him
too seriously So she is in Jail for felonious
assault.

farmer labor party having taken at first too
general a character The Communist Party
has succeeded in filing it's State and four
Congressional candidates with double the num-
Der of signatures required two weeks before
the close of filing. In September, tours were
conducted by the candidate for governor, by
Rudolph Harju, candidate for U. S. Senator,
and by Mother Ella Bloor. Tours have already
been arranged for October, covering especially
Western and Southern Minnesota. territory
never before touched by the Party. Organize
tionally, the campaign so far has not brought
satisfactory results except on the Mesab Iron
Range where several new units were formed
and now Party members recruited Special fac
tories are being concentrated on in the Twin
Cities and in Duluth. About 100000 leaflets
have been issued which include leaflets ad-
dressed to the farmers, T.U.UL. leaflet, two
Party leaflets on the social insurance bill,
Y.C.L. leaflet, etc. On October 26 in Duluth
will be held dstrict-wide conference for the
protection of the foreign-born workers which
is being held in conjunction with the election
campaign
The Party, in the remaining weeks of the
campaign, must strive doubly hard to overcome
these shortcomings, especially to intensity the
attack on the social fascist farmer labor party.

Good Christians

The Lutherans are holding convention in
Milwaukee, and after one of it's leaders calls
for opposition to the "menace of Bolshevism,"
the convention adopted resolution declaring
that the state is "divine institution" and
adds that "under circumstances it may become
the duty of a Christian to defend the state
at the cost of human life"
After this clear pledge of support to Amer
lean capitalism in its war preparations against
the Soviet Union, it is quite understandable
why Hoover sent the Lutheran convention a
letter of congratulations.

By the Associated Press.

by the Associated EreSS.
CHICAGO, January 28.-Suit to
break the will of the late John B. Muir
ply, vice president of the Kohler Co.,
has been filed by Mrs. Sarah Carroll,
of Milwaukee, Wis, a half-siSter.
The bill charges taht Mrs. May Dunn
Murphy of Chicago, second wife of the
plumbing manufacturer, conspired to
inherit his estate, valued at 81 900 900.
A representative of Mrs. Murphy
said the charge was absurd and she
was preparing to bring action against
Mrs. Carroll for damages she said she
had suffered as a result of the suit.
The charge against Mrs. Murphy
set forth that she caused or aided,
by wrongful and skillful acts the
deaths of Murphy, his first wife, and
their two sons, John B., jr., and Hallett.
Murphy died last November, at the
age OF 70. The records of the health
department show death resulted from
cancer of the mouth and neck"
Mrs. Rose Murphy, the first wife,
died June 3, 1922-two days after an
appendicitis operation Records further
show that Hallett Murphy died in a
Niles, Mich, sanitarium, January II,
1927. He was SO years old and death
was attributed to alcoholism.
No records we're found in the death
of John B., jr., but the complaint of
MIS-. carroll sets out tnaC death resulted
from wounds inflicted "by a gun fired
by woman" The only date given was
Ssone time" after his father remarked,
IN June, 1923. while the bill charged
that "agc:l The funeral was private
and all information was suppressed by
Mrs Murphy
The suit further set out that the
witnesses to the will were Influenced
by Mrs. Murphy and that she exerted
duress to have herself named sole bene-
ficiary. It also was charged that
Murphy was mentally incompetent to
make q will.

For the first time the Republican
senatorial campaign committee, pre-

chairman.
The vice chairman has not been
selected but 1t Is understood among the
committee members that he will be a

that he will have charge of the Re-
publican senatorial campaign In those
States.
Senator Moses disclosed yesterday
that he intended to leave sometime
this. Spring or Summer for a trip to
Europe, saying a vice chairman would
be necessary during his absence. He
will return in time for the campaign.
There was some discomfort among
the young guard" members of the
Republican senatorial committee at the
recent reference by Moses to the rebel
lious Western Independents of the
party as the "sonS of the wild jackass."

BLIND PRODUCTION
ASSAILED BY HYDE
Secretary Tells Farmers They Must
Act Intelligently to Eff
feet Relief.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Hyde told the farmers Of
the Nation yesterday that blind pro-
duction" was the bane of agriculture.
Speaking over the National Broad
casting Co. network, the Secretary
closed the broadcasting of the report
on the 1880 agricultural outlook with
the warning that governmental farm
relief measures will be useless unless
each individual farmer intelligently
plans his production"
Hyde said he wanted to emphasize
that in order to obtain higher level
of prices than prevails now it appeared
necessary to reduce rather than to in
crease 1880 production, and that the
problem must be met on the farm.
