By A. l. HARRIS

Republican political writer's are
doing their utmost to put over their
claim that the primary election re-
suits, in the matter of total party
vote cast, showed a tremendous gain
for the conservative party. They
compare the total Republican vote in
the recent election with the total of
conclusive.
But there is a fly in the ointment
1t is this: The Republicans in 1894
went 100000 strong into the Demo
cratic primaries with the announced
and unconcealed purpose Of nominal
ing a democrat who would be salts
factory as a fusion candidate. This
was their only hope to defeat Gov
ernor Olson. The Republican writer's
know this chow could they possibly
forget?) But why destroy a perfect
argument which will put pep" into
the coming gubernatorial campaign
What story does the primary tell?
With virtually no campaign Of impor-
lance to bring out big vote. the
Farmer-Labor party polled the same
percentage of the total votes cast that
it did in the 1884 and 1882 elections.
The Republicans failed to regain the
votes lost in 1894 by virtue of sneak
ing into the Democratic camp. These
are incontrovertible facts which lend
an optimistic tinge to Farmer-Labor
hopes next November.
