FARM LABOR
Farmer-Laborites and other
friends of Gov. Floyd B. Olson
should not return their ballots in
the automobile owners straw vote
lon governor candidates because
the poll is an "obvious fraud man
ipulated by Republican connivers."
Senator Emil L. Regnier, Farmer
Labor campaign manager, declared
in a statement just released.
He. urged all friends of Gov. Oh
son and the Farmer-Labor admin
istration to ignore completely this
fake attempt to make Martin Nell
son appear to be the strongest can
didate." Early announcements Of
the result of the poll clearly show
the misleading intentions" of the
sponsor, which, Senator Regnier
charged, is the United Minnesota
Voters League.
GAS Gov. Olson pointed out in a
radio talk last week, the one and
only purpose of the poll is to build
up case for Martin Nelson, Re-
publican candidate" the Farmer
Labor compaign manager stated.
''The governor at that time bran
ded the poll a fraud and indicated
that he hoped his friends would
not participate.
II have positive and irrefutable
evidence from most reliable sources
that the United Minnesota Voters
League, and not the newspapers Of
the state, is conducting the poll.
After meeting with failure in it's
first campaign to deceive the vot-
ers into believing that Nelson is
the most popular choice for COVER
nor, this league, which is headed
by Republicans, conceived the idea!
of conducting poll among auto
mobile owners at an expense of
more than $15,OOO."
The certified public account
tants employed to count the bal
lots may be accurate In their find
ings," Senator Regnier concluded,
"but, how are the accountants to
know what percentage of the re-
turns are marked and returned by
the Republican sponsors?"
Governor Floyd B Olson will
speak at Paynesville and st. Cloud
on Oct. 16 in his campaign for re-
election The governor will set
forth the program Of the Farmer
Labor party for the advancement
of the welfare of the people of Min
nesota, and will emphasize what
his administration already has
achieved to improve the conditions
or the averge individual in the
state He speaks at Paynesville
