hardly afford the filing fee, the only
requirement now to become a candi-
date, how many of our own people
could afford to put in several days
trying to convince delegates to a con-
vention that they should be nomi-
mated? Very few if any of our own
people could afford the time and
money required to convince group
of convention delegates that they
should nominate representatives of
the common people rather than repre-
setnatives of the special interests.
Let no one mislead you, the con-
vention system of nominating candi-
dates for public office opens up an
opportunity to put the nomination of
public officers on the auction block
to be sold to the highest bidder.
Every member of organized labor
should begin now to protect the DEM
ocratic right granted us under the
Primary Law, by refusing to sign the
initiative petition for repeal by talking
against repeal and finally by voting
against repeal.
You cannot match dollars with the
special interests, but you can match
votes and beat them; don't wait until

ON REPEAL OF
THE PRIMARY
By BRUCE STEINMETz

by DIt OOl1 - lLl1N II
To the Officers and Members of
All Affiliated Local Unions,
Greetings:
What are you doing to preserve de-
mocracy at home, while our brothers
sons and fathers fight fascism on the
four corners of the earth? What
would you say, or do, if you thought
you were qualified to run for public
office, and someone told you you could
not even be a candidate? Or what
would you think if you discovered
some morning that you had lost all
right to vote on who you would like
to have represent you in the many
elective public offices, but found in
stead that some one would select the
men they thought would be satisfac-
tory to them, and then tell you that
you would have to be satisfied with
one or the other ofIthel candidates
which you had no choice in selecting
Certain influences recognizing that
a good many of the voters are in the
armed services, and that those of us
who remain at home are working long
hours and have little time to devote
to politics, believe this an opportune
time to rob us of our right to take
part in selecting candidates from
among those who are desirous of run
ming for office, the fact that under
our Primary Election Laws anyone
can run for office without getting the
OK. of some special interest seems
to irritate those who want to control,
or be able to put finger on each
aspirant for public office, therefore
they have initiated a petition to place
the repeal of our Primary Election
Law on the ballot at the Forthcoming
election.
The significance of what could hap
pen if we repeal our Primary Elec-
tion Law cannot be fully realized until
we consider that under the present
system, anyone aspiring to public Of
flee may become a candidate for that
office by paying the filing fee, after
which it is mandatory that the name
go on the ballot, we the people then
have an opportunity to select from
among those aspirants the ones we
feel are best qualified to represent us,
while under the convention system as
proposed by the sponsors of the ire
peal petition" aspirants for public Of
flee would first have to have the sane
tion of convention before they could
file for office, if the convention dele
gates were obligated to some special
interest, only those candidates who
were favorable to those special inter-
ests would be (nominated) permitted
to file as a candidate.
1t must be obvious to even the most
Indifferent observer that it is much
easier to control a small number of
delegates at convention than it
would be to control the entire voting
population of the state. l suspect
that some may say why not control
that small group of delegates our
selves" but examining that we find
that delegates to the convention
would have to pay their own expenses,
how many of us could afford that?
Few, if any of the workers could af-
ford to lay off their jobs long enough
to attend the convention even if their
expenses were paid

I've conducted a department like this,
it's been a question of wangling
enough space from the editor, and
now it's just the opposite. Now it's a

One piece of tittle-tattle that is still
floating around is that ex-governor
Ayers Troy not jack is toying with
the idea of maybe trying his luck
once more for the job. The rumor
has it that there are still lot of his
appointees in some of the state jobs
and he thinks that would help him.
Also that he thinks he could draw the
support of the liquor groups.
O'Connor is said to have laid the
rumors that he might seek the gov
ernorship, definitely to rest in tele-
gram to a friend here that he would
be candidate for congress again.
Ted Schoenborn, for some years
past an active participant in politics
in the state though never candidate
himself, is reported to be harboring
yen to go out for a state Office. If
he has definitely decided which one,
it's still a secret to this chronicler.

Jake Thorkelson is candidate now
for governor on the republican ticket.
| don't know who induced him to
enter the "kampf", but have pretty
definite idea where he'll get the in
spiration for his campaign speeches.
1t will probably be from the same
sources as he got the ones he made in
congres. And maybe he shouldn't be

The co-ops' total business of 49,

partially accounted for by a general

BETTER RATINGS

The methods by which farmers may
secure supplies has ben eased, it was
announced today by Oscar A. Baarson,

ers may now buy $50 worth of certain
items instead of s25 worth. This list
of items covered by the new order
increases only new farm supplies
which are needed and will be used
by farmers in farm work and not for
the house.
The amended order expands the list
of items affected and it gives the
farmer certification on the order
standing equal to rating of AJAX
with the exception Of few building

ulation is also amended to permit
dealers to use farmers certificates in

| In the latter part of August, 1943
five men appeared at the office of the
Minnesota Railroad & Warehouse
Commission in ST. Paul and asked tn,
two commissioners present, Frank w
Matson, chairman of the board ant
Commissioner N J. Holmberg, to heal
their complaint against the grain mar
keting practices of the Farmers I'm
ion Grain Terminal Association. Com
missioner Rollin G. Johnson was out
of the city.
In the group were the following
grain commission merchants from the
| Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
B. E. Benson of Benson Quinn com
pany; J. A. Bolton of Atwood Larson
company; Ben McCabe of McCabe
Brothers company; Arthur J. Larsen
of HaIlet G. Carey company; accom-
panied by Herbert F. Horner, attor
ney, who has offices at 451 Chamber
of Commerce building.
These men did not claim to repre-
sent the Chamber of Commerce in the
matter they wanted to discuss with
the commissioners but did speak as
though their mission had the approval
and support of many grain commits
sion merchants operating on the Min
neapolis grain exchange.
They charged the Grain Terminal
Association with fraud and injustice
to the grain interests Of the state in
the buying, selling, handling, and in
spection of grain and asked the COM
mission to investigate and determine
if their charges are true.
If evidence is found to substantiate
these charges they want the commits
sion to prosecute the Grain Terminal
Association for using unfair practices
and unfair discrimination in the buy
ing and selling of grain And take
the necessary legal action to stop
continuation of such methods and
practices. Commissioners Matson and
Holmberg said the board would con-
slider the matter and determine if
there is sufficient evidence to war
