OLD POLITICAL FEUD
HOLDING INTEREST IN
MINNESOTA PRIMARY
SchalI and Christensen Stage
Fight for Senatorial
Nomination

st. Paul. Mimi, May l7.-(PG-An
old political feud between Senator
Thomas D. Schall and Gov. Theodore
Christianson of Minnesota has been
revived in the contest for the Re-
publican nomination for the senate.
The two have been openly at odds
since they were elected to their
present posts in 1924.
H.5weya-. e~itifs. IS victos slres d
nes hazard which Threatens Usually
safe Republican majorities.
The Farmer Labor party and the
Democrats have perfected what may
result in a working agreement for
mutual help. There will be an inter-
change Of support and opposition
candidates are expected to be with
drawn by each after the primary. as
a practical means of gaining victory.
Democrats have been out of power
for years in the state. Farmer
Laborites reached the peak of their
power in 1923 when both Minnesota
senators, Henrik Shipstead and
Magnus johnson, as well as three
members of the house wore the party
label.
Senator Schall, a blind man. leveled
an attack on Governor Christianson's
administration as his first campaign
step. He has pledged to continue
support of the insurgent Republican
bloc.
Governor Christianson, claiming
tax reduction, economy. and cor
g~anization of the states government
as fruits of his administration. has
centered his appeal on a pledge to
work for upward revision of tariffs
on farm produce.
Democrats have selected Einar
Hoidale, Minneapolis attorney. as
their senatorial nominee, and Far
mer-Laborites have nominated Floyd
B. Olson for governor. Leaders of
the minority parties have agreed on
an interchange OF support for the
two.

AURORALL lights ARE
VISIBLE IN BISMARCK
Weather Observer Says Demon.
stration May Be Due to Aus
trails, Not Borealis

1t was a brilliant display Of one OF
natures wonders for the rest of Bis
marck, but for Weather Observer o.
w. Roberts it was a technical ques-
ton.
Between 1890 and 11:1O o'clock
Friday night, all who looked at the
Northern sky saw one of the most re-
markable demonstrations Of Northern
lights visible here in years.
But were they Northern lights?
That is the question which interested
Roberts today.
He said that, since the beam ap-
peared in the east-southeast and
travelled toward the west-northwest,
the light may have been the Aurora
Australis or Southern Lights.
Commenting on his technical obser-
vation, Roberts said: 1.-THE beam ap-
peared to be about one degree In
width at each horizon, widening to
two degrees at the zenith. The beam
was not steady, but appeared to travel
in waves. It was brightest at 1O:45
p. m. and faded out shortly after
l1:10 p. m. The sky back of the beam
was unusually dark and clear and
stars were visible throughout the en-
tire length Of the BEAM"
He would appreciate reports from
other persons who witnessed the
phenomena.

Light Rain and Overcast
Skies Greet Derby Throng

Louisville, KY, May l7.-(P)-A
light rain and overcast skies greeted
the thousands of visitors who poured
into Churchill Downs today where
fourteen colts and M filly were
ready for the fifty -sixth running of
the Kentucky derby. The rain was
misty and light but the clouds for q
time hid the sun.

Earl Sande would fulfill popular ex-
pectations and ride the eastern ia
vorite, Gallant Fox, to victory over
such hopes OF the west as Tannery,
Gallant Knight and Buckeye Poet.
These thousands came to rub ell
