the Democrats have played only minor
role for a number of years.
What part Senator Shipstead, Farmer
Labor Senator from Minnesota, will play
remains to be seen. Shipstead and Olson
did not get along Indeed, there was q
time when it was thought that Olson
would undertake to step over Shipstead
into the Senate Shipstead has in the
past had considerable support from the
Republicans in the State. His seat In
the Senate was on the Republican, not
the Democratic, side Of the isle. He Is
q progressive, however. The Roosevelt
New Dealers have never sought to do
much in Minnesota through Shipstead
in the past. They may seek to turn to
him now.
Senator George w. Norris, if Demo-
cratic State Chairman James c. Quiggly
is correct, is to become soon an avowed
candidate for reelection as an indie
pendent in Nebraska. For months people
In Nebraska have been convinced that
Norris would follow such q course,
despite his declaration that he would
not be a candidate to succeed himself.
Norris Is greatly needed In the Nebraska
campaign, the New Dealers believe.
There have been ructions of various kinds
among the Nebraska Democrats for
months. Indeed, the situation there has
looked particularly good for Gov. Landon,
the Republican presidential candidate.
