a few days ago formed the "Independ-
ent Women Olson for Governor
League" with headquarters in the An
drews Hotel. Carolyn N. Storlie is
chairman and Ellen r. Hammer, Sec
rotary. Mrs. Phil Sundby is office
manager and has general supervision
of the work.
he Is not handicapped by long official
associations with the old Capitol
crowd,-he is a free man." say the
women in their appeal to others of
their sex to join them in their efforts
to elect Floyd B. Olson governor.
Douglas Aids FL. Cause.
The League for Independent Politi-
cal Action, with headquarters in New
York City, also took hand in the
fight here last week. Professor Paul
H. Douglas of the University of Chi
cago, addressed three meetings in the
Twin Cities on Saturday of last week
advocating election of the entire
Farmer-Labor ticket. In his address
before the Saturday Lunch club at
noon, Professor Douglas said:
Reform cannot be brought about
through either of the old parties.
There is in reality no particular diff
ference in the old parties as far as
principles are concerned. In the 1928
campaign the Democrats came over to
the protectionist side on the tariff
issue and as result there is not now
anything to distinguish them even on
the tariff issue which for years has
tended to create some line of cleavage
between them"

Paul Men Teachers Federation at the
