atOr, TO get results. upon MS return
from Panama, Senator Shipstead got
busy and in the course of a few
weeks, received pledges from enough
senators in support of the nine-foot

who deserves the credit for getting
Congress to appropriate money for the
development of nine-foot channel

Mr.. Fitzpatrick ridiculed the idea
of sending men to Congress who,
though pretending to be progressive,
are invariably hooked up to a reac-
tionary nominee of the party for pres

be had for the farmers and for other
interests of the west, he commended.
George H. Griffith, campaign man
ager of the Farmer-Labor party, made
a tour of the Second and Seventh dis
tricts last week. Griffith interviewed
candidates for the legislature, news
paper editors and workers in both
Republican and Farmer-Labor camps.
He found sentiment strong for the
Farmer-Labor ticket everywhere. "Edi-
tors of newspapers, both Republican
and Farmer-Labor, admitted to me
that Olson would carry their counties
for governor" said Mr.. Griffith. 81
visited eleven counties, in all, and in
each one the view was expressed,
especially by editors, that the Farmer
Labor gubernatorial nominee would
come out victorious in November
Il want to say, however, that while
sentiment is undoubtedly strongly in
our favor at this time, we shall have
to have funds and shall have to have
the active cooperation of every live
wire from now until election day if
we are going to cause this favorable
sentiment to crystalize into votes on
election day."
Mr.. Griffith found sentiment in the
Second district strong for DR.. L. A.

Congress. The veteran surgeon and
Farmer-Labor leader is popular with
all elements of the population.

Testing over the expose of the Anoka
Herald's performances during the war
and after. The Anoka Herald was the
property of the Chase brothers, Ray

attacks upon Farmer-Laborites, Ger

Republicans are obviously worried
over a possible expose.

FL. NOMINEES
VERY ACTIVE
Speak at Many Gatherings.-ChaSe
Supporters Worried Over Elk.
pOsure of AnOka HeraId'S
Wartime Activities.
BY H. G. TEIGAN

During the past week, a number OF
important meetings have been ad-
dressed by nominees of the Farmer
Labor party. Perhaps the largest OF
the gatherings was the Labor day
celebration at Riverside park, Mime
apolis last Sunday afternoon. An
other large gathering was picnic
at Beaver lake in southwestern Steele
county, also held last Sunday.
Floyd B. Olson, Farmer-Labor nom
inee for governor, was the principal
speaker at the Minneapolis Labor day
celebration. The vast audience list
ened with attention to what Mr.. o.
son had to say. His address was de-
voted almost entirely to a discussion
of politics as it affects Labor.
Labor cannot get square deal
by merely supporting men who are
alleged to be fair" Mr.. Olson said
1.-The man who claims to be fair to
labor is always candidate of an
other group. This other group-the
primary group, will get first consider
alton. When the interests of both
groups conflict, the official who was
elected with Labor's aid, will OF
necessity serve the primary group.
A Common Interest.
''The workers, the farmers and
small business men have a common
interest in an economic way and they
must stick together upon the political
field. Every issue of an economic
nature must ultimately be fought out
upon the political field. Here in Min
nesota, there is only one party that
affords the workers an opportunity OF
getting what they want and that is
the Farmer-Labor party. The Farm.
er-Labor party has its roots way dowr
in the economic organizations of the
workers and therefore reflects theil
economic interests"
Other speakers on the program
were George w. Lawson, secretary oil
the state Federation of Labor; r. D
Cramer, editor of the Labor Review
Walter M. Frank, business represent
alive of the Building Trades Council
and Farmer-Labor nominee for state
senator in the thirty-second legisla
tive district; Maynard Peterson, bust
ness agent of the Milk Wagon Drivers
union and nominee for representative
in the thirty-second district
Lundeen and Fitzpatrick Speak.
The Beaver lake gathering was ad
dressed by Ernest Lundeen, nominee
for United States Senator, and by Mat,
Fitzpatrick, nominee for Congress in
the First district. Both speakers were
received with great enthusiasm by the
vast crowd.
Mr.. Lundeen charged Tom Schall
Republican nominee for reelection
to the senate, with having misrepre
sented the facts as to his achieve
ments at Washington. ''Mr. Schal

governments present program for q

sofa were completely defeated in
their attempt on account of President

for Shipstead, the Farmer-Labor sen.

MARKVILLE WINS
FROM SIREN
Victory Makes Eleventh of Season
With Two Losses and
Two Ties.

Markville played their favorite
trick Sunday at Markville in the
game with Siren, this years Burnett
county champions, when with the
score of nine to three against them
in the seventh inning, they scored
seven runs on five hits and hit
batsman, coupled with an error to de-
feat the champs ten to nine. The ex-
cellent relief pitching of Linehan for
Markville was the main feature of the
game After Rutherford had walked
in three runs in the fifth, Linehan
took up the mound duties and did
not allow hit during the remainder
of the game, striking out six men
including Hanson, almost invincible
Siren third baseman, who otherwise
had perfect day at bat. Benson
starred for Markville, getting four
hits for a perfect batting average and
doing fine work in the field. Siren
holly contested most of Markville's
runs but with no results. After Carl

nicked for three hits and four runs
before the side was retired.

lrvington M. E. Delegation
Opposes Project.

Members of the congregation of
Irvington M. E. Church today were
irate over the decision of the city
plan commission Tuesday in grant
ing permission for erection of a
garage on the northeast corner of
Washington street and Audubon
road.
A delegation to the hearing,
headed by the Rev. j. B. Rosemurgy,
opposed the garage plan, declaring
it would be detrimental to the
church" Appeal to circuit court
was discussed.
The proposed garage site Is
owned by Thomas c. Howe, former
Butler university president.
The plan commission members
took the stand that the incloSed ga
rage facing on Washington street
would be less Objectionable than
some other business enterprise, as
serting the property now is zoned
for business uses.
