dorsing convention will be decided
probably this month. State Chair
man Tom McCabe says he is going
to take the matter up with the
state central committee shortly.
Opinion SENS divided on the propo-
sition. A convention in any event
will be held for the naming of dele
gates to the national Republican
convention to be held in Cleveland,
Ohio, in June. AS comment runs
the tickets endorsing idea, is fiji
ty-fifty proposition.
Delegate
Minnesota's beloved statesman,
Frank B. Kellogg. is receiving con-
siderable urging from Republicans
and the state press that he allow
his name to be presented as Dele
gate at Large to the National Re-
publican Convention. Whether or
mot he would accept is not known,
but that he would be elected hands
down is universally conceded.
No man has been a more loyal
and active supporter of the party
organization. Frank Kellogg, over
a period of many years, could be
counted upon for a generous share
Eof his time and ability to help the
Party.
Liberty
The latest addition to things
political in Minnesota is the Ameri-
can Liberty League. What is to
be known as the Minnesota Division
of the League, opened headquarters
in the st. Paul hotel this week and
Immediately began a drive for
membership which will cover the
entire state. Thos. ]. Quinn of
Faribault is chairman and Miss
Jessie E. Scott, former national
Democratic committeewoman is ex-
ecutive secretary. The organiza-
ton has for its objective the return
of the nation to, economic and pol
itical sanity. The retirement of
President Roosevelt and the com.
plete wiping out of the New Deal
are catalogued as among its most
pronounced hopes. Naturally the
new idea has more of an appeal
for Democrats of the Jacksonian
type, and reports are, that MEM
berships promise to run into the
thousands. 1t is also needless to
say that the movement has the best
wishes of a large number of the
Bumper" element of the party.

orator at the st. Paul gathering !,
of the Unterrfied, was Republican =,
up to 1928. Prior to that date he |
was an assistant attorney general. |
Just now he has a fat berth with |
the AAA.
Olson
The one topic of conversation at !
the State Capitol and in state pol
itical circles is the illness Of Gov. |
Floyd B. Olson and the possibility !
Of an early recovery. What con-
Germs Farmer-Labor party heads
is his continued illness! A let |
down in party morale and interest !
may be disastrous. At the same |
time citizens generally without re-
gard to party hope that the Cover
nor will be returned to his official |
duties at an early date. -
