BAKERS RALLYING
TO AID OF STATES
DAIRY INDUSTRY

Minnesota bakers are adopting the
All-Butter method of baking to a sur
prisingly extensive degree, according
to estimates furnished the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation by Allan Nc
Ginnis, ST. Paul publicist. On April L,
Rochester bread company initiated
the idea of using nothing but high
quality butter as shortening in all of
its bakery products, in order that the
market for butter might be widened
and prices strengthened.
Bakers throughout the state were
urged to follow suit. and the all-but-

from the Minneapolis Daily Star Of
April 20, 1923, indicating that Sheriff
Brown admitted before the grand jury
that he was member of the Ku KluX
Khan. In this connection it must be
stated, however, that the Hennepin
county sheriff claimed that his af-
filiation with the Khan was due to a
desire to spy upon the organization.
Mr.. Ellsworth followed Mr.. Davis
in a brief address and pledged him
self to progressive Republicanism and
to the support of Herbert Hoover, in
spots at least.
1t is safe to predict that if both Mr..
Davis and Mr.. EllswoI tn conduct an
active campaign in opposition to Mr..
Brown and the NOrtOn-Decker-Jaf frey-
Lilly-Prince slate of Republican en-
dorsees, the latter group will have
something to worry about before June
20 rolls round.
AS far as the Farmer-LabOr folks
are concerned, they enjoy imemnsely
this battle that is now going on with
in the Republican party, though it
cannot be denied that there are good
progressives in the G. o. p. Just why
they continue within the folds of the
capitalistically contr, lied Repub lean
party is difficult to understand. The
real progressives in Minnesota should
affiliate with the Farmer-Labor party
and vote in its primary as we'll as
for its candidates at the general cleo
zion.

RIFT IN RANKS
OFG. O. P. WIDENS
PrOgresSiveS Of Party Expose Some
Stalwarts at Convention in Min.
neapOlis Friday Night.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

The progressive Republican conven-
ton called by Tom Davis was held at
the West Hotel, Minneapolis, last FIJI
day evening. There was a full house
and the audience seemed to be in
hearty sympathy with Mr.. Davis and
the other speakers on the program
who included Franklin L. Ellsworth,
candidate for governor, and Charles
w. Sterling, st. Paul, prominent wet
advocate and in charge of move
ment in Minnesota to secure repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment.
The elOquence of the speakers was
undeniable. 1t is doubtful whether
any convention in recent years held
in Minnesota enjoyed as much real
Oratory as the one referred to above.
First Mr.. Davis outlined the OBJ
jectives of the move to place Mr..
Ellsworth in the field as an opponent
of Earle Brown for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination. He cited
figures and facts to show that Mr..
Brown is the candidate of big bust
ness, and particularly of the chain
banks and chain stores of the Twin
Cities. He charged that c. T. Jaf-
fray, president of the 500 Line, E. W..
Decker, president of the Northwest
Incorporation, Joe Chapman, re-
ceiver for the Foshay interests, Rufus
Rand, who inherited his millions as
q result of money made in the Min
neapClis Gas company, George Prince
and Dick Lilly, ST. Paul, directors of
the First National Bank, were the
principal sponsors of Mr.. Browns
candidacy.
'The party of Abraham Lincoln, Of
William Mckinley, and of Theodore
Roosevelt should serve a better pur-
pose than to become the hireling and
representative of privil 6 d intere St, >
said Mr.. Davis. After that cOnven-
ton was held. after Earle Brown was
compelled to run, there was started
over the state of Minnesota a hue and
united Republican party
Mr. Davis cOntended that progress
sives could have no interest in such
united Republican party as that de-
manded by Jaffray, Decker, Lilly, and
others of their ilk
In his radio address at 10 o'clock
Mr.. Davis charged Decker, Lilly, Jaf-
frey and Brown with tax lodging and
that their interests in wage Ieduc-
lions of municipal employees was due
to their own desire to escape taxes
Lilly, he said, had paid during the
past year a personal property tax of
only S57.51; Decker, head of the
Northwest Bank Corporation, paid
taxes on only $4,000 of moneys and
credits in 1881, making his total tax
only $500; Jaffrey, president of the
500 Line, paid a tax of $500 on all
his moneys and credits during the
same year.
AS for Earle Brown, he paid taxes
on 3S horses at an assessed valuation
of S2O44 during the year 1928 which,
according to estimates of the Mime
apOlis Journal, should have been
worth in excess of 100000. The
Journal quoted Mr.. Brown as saying
he valued some of his horses at
$4,000 apiece.
In the conclusion of his radio ad-
dress Mr.. Davis quoted an article

COMPARE PLATFORMS

Editor Askov American:
write as a woman that makes my
living on a farm, know the hard
ships of the farm population and wish
to show the superior program for the
benefits of our group, the Farmer
Labor party, to the two other parties.
The income tax proposed by our gov
garine. the enemy Of the dairy indus
try are few of the important planks,
also the following comparison of the
three political parties in Minnesota
is of interest, taken from farm
paper. Here is the Farmer-Labor
declaration:
81 We demand the passage of the
Frazier Bill, now pending in congress.
which provides for the liquidation
and the re-financing of the farmers
debt at the rate of one and half per
cent interest and one and a half per
cent amortization payment.
We believe that agriculture is
entitled to at least as much considera-
tion at the hands of the federal gov
eminent as has already been extended
by the Republican administration to
banking groups and foreign nations.
so. We indorse the Agricultural
Marketing Act and demand its re-
tention. We also demand that Con-
gress makes available as a part of
the Marketing Act. the Debenture and
the Equalization Fee in dealing with
the exportable surplus of farm pro-
ducts
The above declarations are clear,
concise and specific Here is what
the Democrats said:
I'VE condemn the Republican party
for its refusal to face honestly the
crisis through which the American
farmer has passed during the three
last Republican administrations, for
its callOus rejection of every effective
remedial measure proposed by the
friends of American agriculture. The
whole farming enterprise is on the
brink of disaster and presents a stu
alton that constitutes a national
calamity. We therefore, recommend
that legislation embOdying the prin-
ciples of the McNary-Haugen plan
enacted by Congress in 1927 and 1929,
but vetoed each time by President
Coolidge, of some other equally eff
fective method whereby the cost of
controlling crop SURPRISES would be
borne by each unit of the commodity
benefited, whereby producers of such
commodities will be given an Amer
lean price consumed dOmestically, and
we further recommend that legisla-
ton be enacted Immediately provid-
ing for the re-financing of agriculture
through the Federal Land banks, with
the assistance and cooperation of the
Federal Reserve banks and the gov
eminent"
The above declaration is sympathe-
tic, but vague and indefinite. Here
is the Republican declarations:
'As agriculture is the basic indus
try of Minnesota we urge practical
aid to farmers by the reduction of
governmental expenditures, by an
equitable distribution of the tax bur-
den and by all possible encourage
ment to the orderly and economic
marketing of farm products.
I'VE believe that every possible eff
fort should be made to develop and
retain the most economical and eff
ficient methods of transportation for
the benefit of agriculture"
The above is evasive and if you
can find anything in it that has spe-
cific meaning we will give you a prize.
If you guess that the Republican
