third party in itself, but confines
its activities to aiding third parties
wherever they exist. 1t would seem
that it has arrived at point where
it's executive board is planning not
merely to aid existing third parties, but
in being the prime factor in creating
national Farmer-Labor or third
party.
Ameringer for "SecOnd Party"
In this connection it is interesting
to note that progressives elsewhere
are coming to the same conclusion.
Oscar Ameringer, editor of the Amer
lean Guardian and militant progress
sive of Oklahoma City, recently pub
lished a strong editorial on why a
Second Party" Ameringer rather
cleverly shows that the two old po-
litical parties are in reality one par
| ty and not two as it is supposed.
Third parties, we are told are fail
ures in this country" he says. ''The
implication is that there are two par
ties, successful parties. in this coun-
try. The contention of this article
is that there is but one" ~
After reviewing the history of both
the old parties at some length, Amer
niger concludes:
But pray how can a second party
be called into being without starting
third party. Oh! Just start a real
live and aggressive party and the
other two will soon be one in name
as they are already one in iniquity."
Minnesota Farmer.LabOr Party
to Watch Step.
The Farmer-Laborites of Minnesota
are in complete sympathy with the
launching of a national Farmer-Labor
party. They are perhaps as conscious
of the iniquity of the present two
party system in the United States as
anyone can be. They are, however,
not all convinced of the wisdom of
joining hands with political idealists
in other states in the naming of a
third party ticket next year. Of course
conditions may make it necessary for
doing this very thing, but unless the
time seems propitious the Farmer
LabOrites of Minnesota are not likely
to lend hand to this kind of move.
What seems better than wasting
funds and energy on a national third
party slate is to aid in getting Farm
er-LabOr state tickets put up in all
of the states of the Northwest and per-
haps elsewhere. AS for a presiden-
tial ticket, that is a matter that each
Farmer-Labor state organization can
take care of in it's own way. There
is. to be sure, no use discounting the
danger of naming a slate of .candi-
dates for state offices without having
some protection at the head of it.
The exigencies will determine in each
case what had better be done about it.
Fusion Unthinkable.
AS for fusion, the Farmer-Labor
party of Minnesota will have nothing
to do with that kind of a scheme NOW
after having successfully weathered
many political storms without such a
confusing arrangement. Moreover,
the party in this state is at liberty
to name an independent slate of pres
idential electors and even to name a
presidential candidate if it sees fit
without becoming encountered with
national ticket which might carry
Its nominees down to defeat.

Southern California basket ball
team.
Yet this is just what the sopho-
more of 148 pounds, standing S feet

were having a hard time defending
their Pacific Coast conference bas-
ket ball title when Nemer moved
into the picture.
In fact, the Southern California
cagesters had lost every game when
the former Los Angeles high school
lad became eligible at midsemester
time.
Mortensen, a great all-around ath-
lete with service stripes for foot ball
and track besides his basket ball
credits, was the vital cog of the 1880
Trojan quintet. So Is Nemer in
1881.
His dribbling and passing caught
opponents fiat footed and he rang
up 81 points in two games, which
puts S. C. back into the title race.
Should Coach Sam Barry's five
emerge champions for the second
successive year, tab Nemer, very

It then would be possible to station

The advantage in having off1cialS

often are penalized in plays near the

team commits the offense it will be
set back 5 yards and the point tried

~ ANSAS CITY, February IT,
Jumping Joe Savoldi used
IN the rough-and-ready tactics
he learned as a Notre Dame
fullback in his professional wrestling
debut and sent his victim, Don De-
long, to hospital for repairs.
A cursory inspection in the ring
where Delong lay writhing here last
night after going down under two
body slams applied by Savoldi in
rapid order showed dislocated
shoulder and bruised jaw.
The 22-year-old Italian, scaling
204 pounds, knocked Delong, q 1922
FOUNDER, to the mat three times
with reverse headlocks before the
match had fairly got Under way.
Delong, billed as the French
heavyweight champion, picked up
Joe and slammed him down head
first. Joe was off his feet momen-
tarily a few seconds later, but he
wrested free, and picking up Delong
in a corner, deposited him with
force in the center of the ring.
