VOTERS TO ELECT
new DEAL HACKERS

by Voting for Hoidale,
Regain and DAILY

odSlLS CHclT dppcdl LUZ oupPOIt I'll
the argument that Democrats can
best serve the state in congress and
in the administration of new deal
programs within the state while the
party is in power at Washington, as
well as on their personal merits,
Einar Hoidale, candidate for United
States senator; John Regain, guber-
material nominee; Richard T. DAILY,
candidate for seventh district con-
gresham and others addressed a
crowd of about 900 at the armory
Saturday night.
Mr.. Hoidale discussed at length
his record as member of the house
of representatives and that of his
opponent, Henrik Shipstead, in the
senate, mentioning particularly the
senator's mo" vote on the legisla-
ton approved on the first day Of the
new deal congress, the first step IN
restoring banking to sound basis.
He discussed at length the pro-
gram of the president to redistribute
wealth and declared Minnesota has
profted to the extent of 100000, 900
so far, all of which comes from the
east. Over $2S3, 100000 has been ex-
pended here of which less than $685.
OOO. 900 goes back in taxes and pro-
cessing charges.
In defense of the AAA program
he admitted that the drouth had
much to do with the restoration OF
farm prices but declared it also
proved that cutting down of produc-
ton, the purpose Of the AAA, was
the proper course. =,
Appealing for support from all
parties, Mr.. Hoidale reminded his
audience of the scores of times that
they blindly voted for candidates
solely because they wore certain
party label, only to find them to be
scoundrels.
Striking directly at Governor o.
son, Mr.. Regain declared the lndeDt-
edness of the state has increased
from SSS, 900, 900 when he took office
in 1881 to $113,000,000 January l,
1884. He said the administration IS
spending money at the rate OF
1923 900 per day or $685., 1000 per
month. In 1912, he said, the per
CAPITA cost of operating the state
was S17.41, in 1881 it had increased
to $46.56 and today it is between sou
and $50.
He criticised the appointment OF
road foremen whom he said are paid
by the highway department to handle
matters of party organization. He
charged that Olson has created new
bureaus for the sole purpose OF CIV
ing jobs to friends. He mentioned
particularly the drivers license bur
eau which he said 'Has bevy OF
stenographers like a Hollywood play
house."
"When the state needed office
space to house these needless bur-
eaus," he stated, "the governor rent
ed office space from Brown and Bige-
low for $4,000 and let the old capt.
toll building stand empty" Mention
ing a half dozen men holding import
ant positions whom he said were I'M
ported from North Dakota, Mr.. Re-
gan declared GAIL the old time Non
Partisan leaguers who founded the
party got were jobs checking gravel"
Mr.. Daily spoke more briefly, urg-
ing that Minnesota again join the
union and send men to congress from
the party in power rather than one
which can at best have only few
representatives.
Otto Flom of Belview acted as
chairman of the meeting and intro
duced the speakers. Alric Anderson,
candidate for attorney who promised
non-partisan handling of the office
and Patrick Delaney, candidate for
state auditor, also spoke.
