0LSON'S CHANCES
Radical Minnesota Farmer.
Labor PIanks Embarrass
Candidate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
stan Correspondent Of The star.

MINNEAPOLIS. MIMI, October IS.
-Minnesota's third party, the Farmer
Labor party, has adopted this year Q
platform so radical, 80 socialistic and
50 "red" that 1t makes the La Toilette
Progressive party In the neighboring
State Of Wisconsin look pale In COM
parison.
1t Is this radical platform that has
raised the heat In this State against
Gov. Floyd B. Olson, Farmer-Laborite,
who is seeking reelection. II 1t had
not been for this platform, which seems
to call for Government ownership and
operation Of everything except the
farms and the homes Of labor. Olson
would have romped home . winner.
He may win yet, despite the platform.
but he Is facing Q far sitter battle
than he had expected.
There are four candidates for Cow
ernor this year-Olson, Farmer-Lahor:

friends claim that the party convention

looking he was on some busi-

less charitable who say that when the
Governor saw the radicals had the con-
troll In the convention he left them 10
their own devices. However that may
be. Mr.. Townley has denounced the
Governor for laying down on the whole
platform and has announced himself
candidate running on every plank
in that document. II he gets $4,000
votes, and he may. although that seems
q high figure, every one o. them would
be drawn from Olson.
A still more damaging blow to the
Olson campaign has been the recently
completed poll of the $4,000 owners
Of automobiles In the State, taken by
~ Minnesota newspapers, Democratic
as well a. Republican, on the guber-
Material race. About 120. 900 answers
were turned in, large percentage
for poll Of this kind. with rather
startling results. Nelson, the Repub-
lican, had 52,828: Olson, 35,642, and
Regan, the Democrat. 31,792. Per-
centages have been worked out for
the votes In all the counties showing
the estimated election returns for
November 6, on the basis Of the poll,

that our countrymen may hear our

Time Passage Marked.
Those Of the miners who had
watches had marked In chalk On the
walls Of their inky pit the passing OF
every hour. The last numeral report
ed when this dispatch was written
was "1:06" (p.m.)
To encourage the weaker Of their
comrades, some Of the hunger strikers
had scribbled on the walls In chalk
such slogans Is Hold out until the
end" Died bravely" More
wages or death" 1T is better to die
than to starve" .. I'VE should b

At 2 pm. government ofncials wish
ed to send troops to the bottom Of the
pit to force the strikers to the sur.
face at the point Of bayonet and gun,
and put an end to their threats Of
self elimination unless wage demands
Of $3.50 q week are met.
But the fact that the mine elevator
holds only Is men thus far had pre-
vented the government from taking
any steps, since authorities feared the
famined and enraged miners might
attempt to butcher the soldiers with
pickaxes.
Terrible scenes were reported from
the dark subterranean chasm where
hunger-striking miners now have en-.
dured 96 hours Of steady self-confine-
ment because mine owners refused to
give them more than two days em-
ployment weekly and to pay more
than 81.
The government hesitated to force
the company owning the mine, In
which Austrians and Britishers are
heavily invested, to meet the miners,
demands, fearing it might lead to
complications with foreign govern
ments. It would also lead, authorities
feared, to similar strikes for wage tn-
