Gov. Stassen, 8 g. Gsuld Aneeln.
however, apparently has q political
future ahead Of him If what he has
already accomplished means any
thing.
Gov. Stassen has recently been in
Washington, and during his stay
here he talked politics with Chair
man John Hamilton of the Re-
publican National Committee. He
harped particularly on the need to
give greater representation In party
affairs to agriculture, labor and the
young people. In fact the Mime
sofa Governor has lined himself up
strongly with the progressive wing
Of the G. O. p. He is convinced, as
are many other Republicans. that
only with q progressive view and a
progressive program will the party
be able to win in 1910. AS he put it
in a talk with the press before leav-
ing here: "You can't go back. The
peoples don't want to 60 back. You
have to go ahead whether you want
to or not"
The Minnesota Governor. big,
rawboned, likable, gives the i'm
preston of being far more mature
than the calendar would allow him.
He has just come successfully
through . legislative session, in
which . series of new, important
laws, carrying out platform pledges
In the last campaign were enacted.
The Minnesota Legislature is elected
on . non-partisan basis; the men,
bers are not called Republicans,
Democrats or Farmer-Laborites. In
q measure this makes the Governor S
task more dimcult from q party
standpoint.
Confers With Security Board.
Stassen came to Washington par
ticularly to talk with omcers of the
Roosevelt administration to bring
about cooperation between the re-
vamped Minnesota government and
the Federal. He asked the Treas
ury Department for the loan Of q
tax expert to head up the new tax
laws in Minnesota-showing q lack
Of partisanship on his part. He con-
ferred also with the Social Security
Board, in an effort to make the
State Laws dovetail with the Fed
eral laws on that subject. His State
budget has been brought into good
shape, and material reductions have
been made.
To put himself clearly on record
as to future political plans, Gov
Stassen announced he would be a
candidate to succeed himself in
1940-the Governor Of Minnesota
has q two-year term. That takes
him out Of any possible race for the
Senate next year-when Senator
Shipstead. Farmer Labor, comes up
for denomination. Minnesota poll
ticians, however, are speculating On
the Governors candidacy for the
Senate against Senator Lundeen,
Farmer Labor, in 1912. They believe
he may have a try for the Upper
House in that year, provided he is
reelected Governor.
It is q foregone conclusion that If
the Republican party Is to win .
national election in 1910 1t must
carry the great States Of the Middle
West and the Northwest. To do 50,
tho G. o. p. must make Its appeal
