MINNEAPOLIS, October 6.-Roose-
welt stock has been going UP In Min
nesota.
This has been mainly due to slump
in support for the Lemke third-party
ticket.
Now the Roosevelt stock may start
going down.
The New Dealers are wondering
today whether they were quite as
smart a. they thought they were
when they let their New Deal Farmer
Labor leaders deal 60 through. Under
the terms of this deal, the Wolf
Bremen Democratic faction withdrew
the Democratic candidates for Gov
ernor and Senator, Curtis and Delaney,
and prepared to support the Farmer
Labor candidates for those ofnces in
return for Farmer-Labor votes for
Roosevelt.
This deal made between the Wolf
Bremen Democratics and the Farmer
Laborites may turn out boomerang.
What makes 1t so raw Is the manner
In which it was put across, the con-
spirators waited until the very last
minute before announcing 1t to the
world. And when they did announce,
1t was too late for Democrats who
wished to have candidates for Gov
ernor and Senator to put substitutes
for Curtis and Delaney on the ballot.
A little group of men had taken away
from the Democratic rank and file Of
the State the right to cast their votes
for candidates of their own choice.
It may have been smart politics but
it has made primary laws and Demo-
Gratis In this State look sick.
Such an issue, II handled vigorously,
might make o difference not only in
Minnesota but outside the State. Par
ticularly since the white House and
Chairman Farley have publicly given
the deal their blessing. If the public
the voters-is apathetic about the
matter, it will go down in political
history as Just another deal.
Landon was in the ascendency in
the North Star State. The Repub-
1icans have put forward great efforts
for their ticket. They are more
strongly together than they have been
for years. One Of the factors in the
political equation here upon which
they have been counting was the
support which Lemke and his Union
party would draw from the Farmer
Laborites. It has been estimated that
Lemke would poll 100000 votes in the
Presidential race, or even 125,000.
But Lemke has slipped. It Is doubt
full If he will poll more than $4,000
votes.
A number Of the Farmer-Labor
leaders, early in the campaign, had
kind words to say about Lemke, among
them was Representative Lundeen,
now the Farber-Labor candidate for
Senator. When Lundeen gave Lemke
his benediction, the late Gov. Floyd
b. Olson was still alive and the
Farmer-Labor party's nominee for the
Senate. And now 1t Is expected that
Lundeen will come through with an
Endorsement of President Roosevelt's
presidential candidacy. It is expected
because the Wolf-Bremer Democratic
faction has made deal with the
Farmer-Laborites, calling of their
Democratic senatorial and guberna-
toriaI candidates, IN return for
Farmer-Labor support for Roosevelt.
Since the Wolf-Bremer deal with
the Farmer-Laborites, Lundeen has
spoken kindly Of New Deal measures
