of the Melrose convention Sunday

John ]. Kinzer was endorsed for
the office of lieutenant governor on
the Farmer-Labor ticket, an en-
dorsement which he took reluctant
ly.
What I really want to do Is run

he said. No other prospective can

The convention was the first
county Farmer-Labor session which
assumed paramount Importance in
the eyes of party members, and 1t
was nearly four times the size of

port to the convention.
Leading In the fireworks was the
resolution asking that the conven-
ton endorse Mrs. Paul Pappenfus
st. Cloud, sixth district representa-
tive on the state central committee
for reelection and another resolu-
ton which Immediately followed
that which asked the convention to
endorse Representative John ],
Kinzer, Cold Spring, and sixth dis
trict FL organizer, for the same
office. The two resolutions came az
a surprise to the convention, but
were anticipated by the leaders. II
represented a tussle between Mrs.
Pappenfus who has had the patron
age for the party, 1t was said, and
Kinzer, who has not had the pat
ronage, as well as certain other
political developments.
In a statement before the con-
vention, Mrs. Pappenfus declared
that she was not responsible for
the shifting of game wardens In
this section of the state, and that
in fact she was not responsible for
a number of other appointments
which had been credited to her. She
also said she had led in the fight
to keep communistic observations
and PHILOSOPHERS out of The Mime
sofa Leader, the party's official or
gan.
Representative Kinzer did not re
flute her statements. He stated thai
he believed it was time the state
conservation department was fully
aware of local feelings in Stearns
county and that its "dictatoriar
methods should be stopped.
The final vote on the two resolu
tons was, finally, 152 for Kinzer's
and "a for Mrs. Pappenfus'. At the
present time Mrs. Pappenfus car.
ries the unanimous endorsement %
the new Farmer-Labor club of st
Cloud for the office she now holds
and Kinzer the endorsement of the
county association.
It was also charged by several
delegates, who did not address the
convention, that several appoint
ments made in Stearns county have
not been entirely representative OF
the community, nor did they repre-
sent local sentiment; one of these;
it was asserted, alienated the Or
ganized union labor groups of st,
Cloud from the party's machinery
if not from its candidates in the
next election. To bear out this as
sertion the convention was attend
ed by one union labor man, it was
said.

morning that she intended to carry

Adopt Resolution Refuting
Communism And Back
Governor For Nomination

Farmer-Laborites of Stearns
county, holding their biennial con-
vention Sunday in the Melrose city
hall, declared that communism
means changing the government
by revolution, which we do not IA
vor" and that none Of us want to
swallow the Russian proposition
as is"
The Is delegates electsd at the
session were instructed to vote for
Governor Elmer A. Benson, incum-
bent, for the FL party nomination
for governor.
In this political convention, the
largest and most interesting to be
held in this county in at least the
past decade, the party membership
by resolution refuted its "redness"
and blamed the label communism
which has been attached to it at
times, to reactionary forces at work
in the state.
The resolution declared in part:
TT (the Farmer-Labor party) has
been labeled a red communist or
ganization by those who consider
every working man, every farmer
and every independent business and
professional man communist IL he
wishes to assert his lawful Ameri-
can right to an honest and fair
change in the pursuit of happiness.
"The Farmer-Labor association
again asserts its undying allegiance
to the greatest American principle:
That all men shall be guaranteed
and given equal opportunity, not
only in theory, but in fact.
The Farmer-Labor association
quotes from the state constitution
Of the association, which states
clearly and definitely, That no per-
son nor any political or economic
organizations advocating change by
force or by means of revolution or
advocating any other than repre-
sentative form Of government shall
be admitted to membership
