FL. GETS FINE
ENDORSEMENT
League for Independent Political Ac.
ton Boosts Olson and Lundeen;
Hennepin FL. Organizes.

The League for Independent Po-
litical action, which was organized
about a year ago for the purpose of
aiding in the development of a ma
tional third party movement, has
given its endorsement to the Farmer
Labor state ticket in this campaign.
The executive committee of the
League has officially endorsed the
Farmer-Labor party of Minnesota and
will cooperate in every way to secure
victory for its candidates at the No
vember elections" is stated in the
September News-Bulletin of the
League. 1T is the strongest third
party state organization in the coun-
try. With Senator Henrik Shipstead
and Congressman Paul Kvale it is the
only third party that has represent
alton at Washington"
The statement of the League dis
cusses at some length the Minnesota
situation and calls attention to the
fact that Charles A. Lindbergh, father
of "Lindy" was the first candidate of
the organization which fathered the
Farmer-Labor party.
Boosts Olson and Lundeen.
The League statement gives a fine
boost to the Farmer-Labor slate and
places special emphasis upon the fit
ness of Floyd Olson and Ernest Lun-
deem for governor and United States
senator, respectively. 1t says:
Floyd Olson, candidate for COVER
nor on the Farmer-Labor ticket, now
county attorney for Hennepin county,
has proved himself to be a very able
administrative officer. His prosecu-
ton of Minneapolis aldermen for
graft ended in their being sent to the
penitentiary. With the assistance of
progressives throughout the country
he can be elected. His success will
be the greatest possible stimulus to
the formation of a new national party
The Farmer-Labor candidate for
United States senator, Ernest Lun-
deem, was formerly congressman from
Minneapolis He had the courage to
vote against the war. H is a tireless
worker in behalf of the peoples in
terest. He stands head and shoulders
above his opponent, Senator Tom
Schall. The latter is a demagogue
and allied with vicious elements in
the state. The voters of Minnesota
are finding this out. The labor lead
ers of that state are disguised with
President Green Of the A. F. of L. for
giving Schall letter of recommend
alton in the primary election. Lun-
deem is gathering strength every day.
We propose to give him every assist
ance and believe he has a chance of
defeating the blind Senator Schall."
Hennepin Farmer-Laborites Busy.
Minneapolis Farmer-Laborites are
organizing to put on the finest and
most effective campaign that has been
conducted by the organization in
many years. The south side, as it is
termed, is already splendidly organ
lied as was demonstrated in the pri-
mary election when its endorses for
county commissioner and legislative
positions were nomin ated by large
majorities. Curiously enough their
opponents at the general election are

Lind's Last Political Act
The death of former Governor John
Lind recalls to mind the great work
that this man did while active in pol
itics in this state. Mr.. Lind was a
member of congress as a Republican
back in the nineties. In 1898 he was
elected governor as Democrat. Aft
err retiring from the governorship he
was again elected to congress from
the district comprising the city of
Minneapolis.
Perhaps the Last political act that
the former governor did was to send
letter of greetings to the great
Farmer-Labor meeting at Vasa in
Goodhue county Sunday, August 10,
1880. At the conclusion of his letter,
read to the folks at Vasa by Repre-
sentative Emil S. Youngdahl, Mr..
Lind said:
"My heartiest we'll wishes are with
you in your future individual and col
lective efforts to wrest the reigns of
government from the hands of its de-
spoilers and make this nation a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people,"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-09-25

Farmer-Laborites, too, who filed with
out endorsement of the organization
On September 18th, 8 p. m, a mass
meeting will be held at Eagles Hall
to be addressed by Floyd B. Olson,
Farmer-Labor nominee for governor
This meeting is held to form cam
paign organization on the East side,
which comprises the first, second and
ninth wards of the city.
Other speakers who will appear on
the program are State Senator George
Nordlin of ST. Paul, who will discuss
the Old Age pension law and urge ap-
prevail of the measure at the general
election in Hennepin county. Alder
man John Peterson will speak on
grade separation and its effect on
south side home owners. The meeting
will be held under the auspices of the
Hennepin county FL. association
East Side ward clubs.
Elmer johnson Gets Support.
That the Republican party is badly
disorganized in Hennepin county is
made quite apparent by the large
number of Republicans who are sup
porting Farmer-Labor nominees for
office. Sometime ago the "AI-Party
Floyd Olson for Governor" club was
formed with a membership composed
almost entirely of Republicans and
Democrats who are volunteering their
support of the candidacy of the Farm
er-Labor gubernatorial nominee. More
recently an organization has been
formed by Minneapolis business men
and others, irrespective of party af-
filiation, to give aid to the candidacy
of Elmer Gottfried Johnson, Farmer
Labor nominee for Railroad and
Warehouse commissioner The Lit
tie Sergeant" it is generally pre-
dicted, will carry Minneapolis by a
large majority.
Meetings Successful.
Meetings during the past week ad-
dressed by Farmer-Labor candidates
in the Third Congressional district
were unusually successful. The meet
ings were held at the following points:
Winthrop, ST. Peter, Kenyon, Hastings,
LeSueur Center, Mortified, and
Pennington.
The meetings this week which are
being addressed by Floyd Olson and
other nominees of the party are for
the most part in the seventh and sec
ond districts. Next week Mr.. Olson
will address a series in the first con-
gressional district. Other candidates
who will appear on the program are
Matt Fitzpatrick, nominee for con-
gress in the first district, and Henry
Arens, nominee for lieutenant COVER
nor.

follows:

THE SWING TO OLD AGE PENSIONS

(The following was submitted for
publication by Gust Ristrom of Kings
dale, and appeared in a previous is
sue of the Minneapolis JournaD.
Old age pensions are looked upon
with increasing favor in this country.
Teachers retirement pensions are
provided for in this city and a pen
sion program for state employees has
already passed the legislature. Gov
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a
late special message to the legisla-
ture of New York, pointed the need
of establishing pensions to provide Sc
curity for the aged.
Does it not appear somewhat para
doXical that the idea of old-age pen
sions should gain such Roadway in
land marked by high wages. short
hours of labor, prodigious productivity
and general prosperity? Are we los
ing our pioneer initiative and self re-
lance? Does the situation point to
an economic and moral flabbiness?
In our opinion, it does not; neither
is it merely a temporary restlessness.
Does not the demand for security in
age point to certain fundamental
changes in our economic order? Per-
haps first among these factors should
be put the heightened span of human
life. In the SEVENTEEN century, the
average expectancy of human life at
birth, in Europe, was not more than
81 to &c years. Today it is better
than IS years, which means, of course,
that larger numbers of individuals
live beyond three score years and ten.
The second important factor, re-
sulting in the increased favor of old
age pensions, would seem to be the
shift from agriculture to urban in
dustrialism. In purely agricultural
economy, the aged gathered their
children about them on the land, and
old and young carried on together, the
elderly supervising or working only
part time. Machine production has
crowded people into cities, speeded
the pace of production and resulted
in rather early displacement of
workers.
Another factor is the growing Gus
tom of later marriages and the pro-
longed period of education for child
rem. Late marriage means the de-
tendency of children when parents
are nearing their maximum produc-
ing power, and prolonged education
quite often cuts the surplus that might
be provided for age.
Still another factor would appear
to be the refinement and increased
cost in the standard Of living. The
simple life has passed away and it
takes large principal to yield inter-
est adequate to maintain the desired
standard of living.
Perhaps there are other factors,
but these are sufficient to indicate
that the spreading desire for old age
pensions is not merely capricious,
but has come as the result of certain
fundamental changes in industry and
in our order of life. In 1900, accord
ing to report, there were only four
or five corporations poviding for old
age retirement; today there are about
four hundred corporations making
such provision.
The ideal back of the movement
is, no doubt, both sound and appeal
ing. The dangers to be guarded
against are abuse or collapse of the
system, increased burdens upon tax
payers and unwise sacrifice of per-
sonal thrift and initiative. To avoid
the dangers while achieving the end,
will test our economic wisdom.
