from field of four The senator and representative
at-large are elected jointly by Redwood and Brown
counties
First in Importance is the election Of senator
Frank Romberg of Sleepy Eye has served five terms,
is closely identified with the Olson regime and has the
endorsement of the radical party leaders in both
ties. He is practically certain to be nominated and
will be opposed by either Leon H. Brown, Redwood
Falls attorney Bert Draayom, successful Spring
dale farmer who is seeking office for the first time.
Brown has been county attorney and is city ator
ney. Until his recent falling out with John Arnett
and John Hines, he generally considered one OF
the Farmer-Labor higher-ups in the county. He has

casions. He led the Farm Holiday movement in the
county until it became too radical for him, has served
mayor Of Revere and recently reelected al
though a recount necessary. He favors NRA
