INDEPENDENT VOTE

That the farmer is more independ-
ent when it comes to voting has been
demonstrated more than once, and
this was especially made clear in the
primary election of Pine county last
June Goth. The farmer is not so
close to federal and state appointees
as is the village voter. nor does he
come in as cl Sc contact with those
representing conservative elements as
the jobbers, wholesalers, and tinan-
ciai interests. Therefore he feels
more free to express his candid opin-
ion in the form of vote. Without
a consolidated primary ballot the vot-
er is of course forced to reveal his
party identity and so in the primary
election many of the village voters
are not as Independent as they are in
the general election when no one
need know what party ticket they vote.
Pine county farmers as a whole
took a decided lead in voting the
Farmer-Labor ticket last June. Out
of a total of "A precincts-36 townships
and eight villages-the Republicans
had a total of 1772 votes, the Farmer
Labor party 269S. and the Democrats
S73. The FL. ticket had a bigger
total vote than the other two parties
combined and consequently also had
the plurality vote i'm most of the pre-
cincts. Twenty-nine precincts were
carried by the FL. party while 10
went to the Republicans. The Dem
Ocrats did not carry any precincts.
The FL. party carried but one
village Askoy-while the Republi-
cans carried the other seven villages.
had a plurality vote in only eight,
while out of eight villages the grand
old party carried all but one.
The farmer by his vote shows that
he regards the Farmer-LabOr party as
the Independent party-the one that
represents the cause of the masses. He
knows that his party is pledged to the
Senator Frazier bill for lower interest
rates on farm loans. which, when en-
acted into law will have wholesome
effect on all interest rates in the
country He knows that his party
stands for economic justice and that
the party and its program is above
the individual. However. he also
realizes that his party has within
its ranks men of ability and courage
such as Governor Olson, who can and
will carry the platform through.
Therefore the farmer stands ready
to register an even stronger indie
pendent vote next Tuesday than he
did at the primary election. He is
not being inundated or coerced but
goes quietly to the polls and express
ses his choice, knowing that we get
no better government than we vote
and work for. The village people
will join hands with their farmer
neighbors and also vote more indie
pendently next Tuesday, knowing that
what is good for the farmer is also
good for the village resident.
A glance at the party vote of the
primary election in Pine county will
reveal that some of the best town.
ships in the county voted very strong
Farmer-Labor-tOwn that are
we'll managed and have the least OF
Indebtedness. The farmers took the
lead and showed the way.
The Republican, Farmer-Labor and
Democratic vote in each of the A pre-
cincts of Pine county in the primary
election, June goth, was as follows:

Sam Mcpherson. a farmer of
the Bethlehem church section of
Orange county, killed his wife,
his 17-year-old daughter, and
Clarence Lloyd. a young man of
the neighborhood. and then
killed himself, last Friday morn
ing. The tragedy was the re-
suit of an intrigue between
Lloyd and the girl.
The fatal wounds were all in
flicted with single-barreled
shotgun.
There were no eye-witnesses
of the killings, but the details
of the episode could be pieced to-
gether from what neighbors told
Of Mcpherson 8 and Lloyd's s
movements before the fatal
shots were fired.
Mcpherson drove up to Lloyd's
home at about $3.50; Lloyd got
into the car with him, and they
drove away. Lloyd was found
soon afterward on roadside
about mile away, critically
wounded in the head. (He died

next day in a Burlington hospi-

After having shot Lloyd and
left him for dead, the farmer
went home. His wife and his
daughter Ida were either driven
by him into an upstairs room or
had fed there. He shot his wife
through the heart and his daugh-
ter through the head, and the
subsequent inquiry indicated
that they died instantly. Final
ly, Mcpherson turned the gun
on himself, pressing the trigger
with a bed-slat.
Calhoun Mcpherson, a son of
the killer, came into the house
few minutes later, went up
stairs, and found there the life
less forms of his father, his
mother, and his sister.
