there is an all-pervasive anxiety
over the future course Of world
politics. Despite the public's deep
concern over these matters, how
ever, the current campaigns have
failed to dramatic them in terms
that are readily seized as state is
sues.
Many factors explain the COM
parative quiet that prevails over
the state political scene. Republi-
cans are Overwhelmingly confident
that they will sweep the elections,
and, as a result, are not eager to
develop issues that might disturb
what appears to them to be a salts
factory state of affairs. The DFL,
on the other hand, would like to
wage a vigorous fight, but it finds
itself badly handicapped by lack
Of funds, a frequent plight Of the
underdog in any election.
Public apathy in this years cleo
tiOns is explained by the fact that
the immediate economic position of
most voters is comparatively good.
Intense political interest is usually
the result of protest" situation,
in which the individual voter seeks
to remedy his personal plight by
voting against the incumbents.
Disinterest in state elections is in
tensified by the growing awareness
that the shifting of power to the
federal government has diminished
the relative Importance Of the state
government in solving economic
problems.
Another factor which has de-
layed the heavy cannonading in
Minnesota elections is the genuine
confusion that exists among Mime
sofa prOgressives. They would like
to pursue a united course of action
that would turn out all cOnserva-
tive Republicans and that would
support a national program of lib
eralism. They are at this point,
however, divided over the foreign
policy of President Truman, and,
within the DFL party, this divi-
sion has dulled the enthusiasm of
significant group for the election
Of certain candidates.
The l947 legislative session is
certain to provide upward revisiOns
in old age assistance allotments.
The acute plight of many recipients
is openly acknowledged by many
legislators, and plans are under
way to provide increased assistance
to the recipients now caught be-
tween an infiexible allotment and
steadily rising living costs. There

Senator Joseph H. Ball is now
repeatedly back in the good graces
Of the Minnesota Republican or
ganization. A statement by Ball
supporting Harold Stassen for the
Presidency was hailed as big news,
1t was regarded as setting at rest
rumors that Ball might support
Senator Taft of Ohio for the nomi-
nation. Ball projected himself into
the '46 campaign with q strong
speech cOndemning the DFL Party
and the national Democratic admin
istration, thus reinforcing his re-
acceptance by the Republican
Party.
In his fight for election to the
United States Senate, Theodore
Jorgenson is assailing the combined
records of Stassen, Ball, and Gov
ernOr Thye. A pamphlet in Jor-
genson's behalf, issued by the In
dependent Voters of Minnesota, is
entitled Facts Explode the Myth
of Stassen-Ball- Thye Liberalism"
1t condemns the COP leaders on
the issues of price control, foreign
policy, veterans legislation, agri-
culture, labor, public welfare, and
housing.
An important step in the promo
ton of better understanding be-
tween Northwest businessmen and
farmers was taken last week by
