new BALLOT
TO BE TRIED
All Three Parties to be
Listed on One Sheet at
Primaries.
Names With No Party OPP
position Will not APP
pear ON Ballot.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

Now that nlInSS lOT Stdtc anu Coi-
gressional offices have closed 1t Is
possible to get picture of what the
ballots of the three principal parties
will be like on June is.
The ballot this year will contain the
names of all the candidates of the
Farmer-LabOr, Republican, and Demo-
cratic parties. Each party group VIII
have its candidates listed in separate
columns. The voter will not be re-
uuired to call for the party ballot or
his choice, but must, however, con-
fine his voting to candidates in his
own party column. If the voter should
see fit to wander from the party col
umn. even in a single instance. that
is to say to cast a vote for candl-
date on another party ticket, his bal
lot will be void.
1t will be we'll for the voters to
keep the above fact in mind. A
Farmer-Laborite cannot vote for any
Republican or Democratic candidate
in the primary election. The same
of course holds true for Republicans
and Democrats.
Names on FL. Ballot.
Another fact for Farmer-Laborites
to keep in mind is that not all OF the
convention Endorsed candidates Will
have their names upon the primary
ballot. The following candidates
names will appear in the Farmer
Labor column on the primary ballot:
United States Senator-Henrik Ship
stead and F.. H. Shoemaker.
Governor-Floyd B. Olson and John
Lind.
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioner-Charles Mum, Charles john
son, Alex Kanter, and Elmer Godt-
fried Johnson.
Clerk of Supreme Court-Laura E.
Naplin and Russell o. Gunderson.
In the congressional race there are
contests in the 1st, Sth, and 9th dis
tricts. In the 1st district contest,
here are three contestants: Otto Baud
Ter of Austin, Nellie Miller of Spring
Valley, and Emil Olson of Austin. The
Sth district candidates are Sigmond
Slonim of Duluth, A. l.. Winterqulst
Cloauet, and E. ]. w. Kohlhose, Miz-
pah.
Buckler. TOwnley, NycklemOe.
In the 9th district there will be a
lively contest for the nomination be-
tween Senator Richard T. Buck1er OF
Crookston, A. c. TOwnley of Parkers
Prairie, and Judge Henry T. Nyckle-
moe of Fergus Falls. Senator Buck
Ter has the official Endorsement or the
district convention held in Ersk1ne
a few weeks ago, and A. c. TOwnley
has the support of several county
units of the Farmer-Labor Assocla-
ton. Ten of the fifteen county or
PLANTATIONS requested Mr. Townley
and Senator Buckler to file for the
office with view of letting the Farm
er-Labor voters determine their choice
at the primary on June IS. Judge
Nycklemoe apparently has little or
ganization support but is nevertheless
conducting an active campaign fol
the nomination.
Shipstead VS.. Shoemaker.
By far the most interesting con-
test in the Farmer-LabOr primary Is
that between Senator Shipstead anC
Congressman Shoemaker for the nom
ination for Senator. Shipstead wor
the convention Endorsement over Shoe
maker though the latter had sur
prising support among the delegates
The contest between Governor Oh
son and Mr.. Lind cannot be taken ser
iously. The governor is the indorset
of the convention and will without
question win the nomination by 6
large majority. AS far as l know
Mr.. Linds chief asset lies in his name
which is well known as that OF g
former governor of the state.
Mum ct al.
In the contest for nomination to the
office of Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner there are four candi
dates. Charles Mum, speaker of the
house at the regular session in 1913;
and again at the special session last
December, has the Endorsement of the
recent state convention. Mr.. Kantel
was a candidate for the office of Rail
road and Warehouse Commissioner
several years ago but was defeated
for the nomination. Charles johnson
of Round Lake, is state vice-chair
man of the Farmer Holiday Associa
ton. Elmer Godtfried johnson is {
resident of Hibbing and was thu
Farmer-LabOr candidate for this same
office in 1880. He was defeated in ;
close contest by Frank w. Matson
Republican incumbent.
