tie, with a half-timbered effect in the
second story to carry out the Eliza
bethan-period idea. The roof is of old
English tile shingles in the darker
shades of red. The chimneys are
topped off with brick of character
blending with the red tile roofing.
One of the special features OF the
house is the porte cochere garage
through which a driveway passes. It
is constituent part of the house, be-
ing located in the ground floor of the

There are only two contests for
state Offices in the primary. These
are for governor and United States
senator. Floyd Olson has the en-
dorsement of the Farmer-Labor asso-
citation for governor and is opposed
by Carl E. Taylor of Palisade. 1t is
not considered that Taylor will afford
Olson anything like a battle for the
nomination.
Wefald Carries Endorsement.
Knud Wefald is the endorsee of the
Farmer-Labor association for United
States senator. He was not a candi-
date for the endorsement by the con-
vention but was, nevertheless, award
ed the place on the ticket by a vote
of 100 to 81 for Ernest Lundeen, who
is now seeking the nomination in the
primary. There can be little doubt
that Wefald will be successful in win
ming the nomination.
There are candidates for the Farm
er-Labor nomination for congress in
all but the Ninth district. 1t is most
unfortunate that Selvig, Republican
Congressman from the district, should
be unopposed for the place. He has
now neither a Farmer-Labor nor a
Democratic opponent. Parhaps the
opposition elements will get together
after the primary and file some strong
man for the Office.

PRIMARY BATTLE
is NOW IN SWING
ALI Filings for State and Legislative
Offices Made; Selb Opposes Chris
tianSOn and Schall.
BY H. G. TEIGAN.

Filings for state and congressional
offices closed at o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon of last week. There
get under the wire during the closing
hours
Among last hour entrants were Err
nest Lundeen, who filed against Knud
Wefald for United States senator on
the Farmer-Labor ticket, and John
F. Selb, who filed for the Republican
nomination for the same office.
The Lundeen filing had been ex-
pected. The former Fifth district
congressman had previously an
nounced that he might file, though
it was generally believed that friends
of Tom Schall might succeed in keep
ing him out of the race. Schall has
a feeling that he can garner more
of the Farmer-Labor votes that might
be cast in the Republican primary
than can Governor Christianson. On
the other hand, it is reasonable to
conclude that the governors friends
desired contest in the Farmer-La-
Dor primary.
Selb Aids Christensen.
But if Governor Christensen is at
an advantage as result of a contest
in the Farmer-Labor primary, he
must be at an even greater advantage
as a result of the filing of Mr.. Selb.
Selb is, however, no friend of Christi
h,,f ic rnf lot xx-;1
doubtedly draw votes from Schall
rather than from the governor
Lundeen also came out bit wet
by declaring in favor of a referendum
on the liquor issue. In this, however,
Mr.. Lundeen is not departing from
with which he claims utilization, in
asmuch as the Farmer-Labor party
has long advocated establishing
means for direct legislation through
the initiative and referendum. Back
in 1924 Magnus johnson, then the
took the position that. as the nominee
of the Farmer-Labor party, he was
obligated to sanction a referendum on
the liquor issue as on any other i'm
portant proposition. 1t is doubtful
whether Lundeen will be able to gain
votes by advocating a referendum on
the prohibition issue as that is the
position almost any Farmer-Laborites
would have to take
Two State Contests.
The complete list of candidates for
Farmer-Labor nominations is as fol-
lows:
United States Senator-Knud We
fald, Moorhead; Ernest Lundeen. Min

Governor-Floyd B. Olson, Mime

Minnesota for IS years, died May 6

of Rice Lake, where he has made his
home since 1917.
Mr.. Clancy, who was born in the
province of Ontario, Canada, moved
to what is now Sibley county when
still a young child. Later the fam
lily moved to the vicinity af New
Ulm and Mr. Clancy often recalled
how when still boy he fled with
other members of his family from
the farm home before the hostile In
dams
From the age of II to 81 he taught
school in Brown county At 81 he
married Miss Mary Laughlin of Nor
ton. MINI. He then engaged in the
lumber and hardware business. He
took an active part in state Demo
cratic politics. Since locating in the
town of Rice Lake, Mr.. Clancy served
as town clerk.
Survivors besides his wife include
loul blOilIClS. ClNl Vi w

1t will be seen that there are con-
tests in three districts. In the Third
F. H. Shoemaker is opposed by John
T. Lyons of LIE Sueur Center. In the
Fifth district Assistant County Attor-
ney Joseph A. Poirier is opposed by
Ferdinand Johnson who was candi-
date two years ago. In the Tenth dis
trict, Erling Swenson is opposed by
Dwight Martin.
Vote Farmer-LabOr Ballot.
While there will be no warm con-
tests for positions on the Farmer
Labor ticket, there will be primary
ballot as result of contests for the
governor and United States senator.
In the Third and Fifth districts in
terests will be a bit enhanced on ac-
count of contest in the congressional
race.
The contests in the Farmer-Labor
primary have at least the merit of
keeping some voters out of the Repub-
lican primary. where they do not be-
long.
Edward j. Lee, candidate for associ-
ate justice of the Supreme Court has
the endorsement of the Farmer-Labor
association. Mr.. Lee made the race
two years ago against Justice Hilton.
He is one of the few attorneys in
Minnesota who has had the courage
to attack decisions of the Supreme
Court on the ground that they are
reactionary in nature and reflect a
bias in favor of organized wealth.

HIGHWAY SIGN LAW APPLIES
TO POLITICAL ADVERTISING

With the primary campaign in full
swing. and the general election cam
paign soon to follow, a highway bulle-
tins calls attention to several proyi-
sions of the law covering advertising
signs which apply to candidates
posters.
Posting of advertising signs of any
character on the right-of-way of any
highway is prohibited by law. En-
ployes of the state highway depart
ment will remove signs placed on
trunk highways, and county and town
road officials have the same authority
on secondary roads.
The use Of stickers, banners, cards,
or anything which will obscure the
vision, on the windshield, rear win
dow. or front side windows, is pro-
hibited by the traffic act. The only
exception is legal permits, such as a
visitors permit. Posters may be used
on the rear side windows
? Signs fastened on the front or rear
of any car must be so placed that
they do not cover up the license num-
bers. The license plates must be Wis
ible at all times, front and rear.
